Wellness Day is a dedicated time to nurture social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being

for all students. Organized by Peer Leaders, this day is designed to foster connection, self-care,

and resilience through interactive stress relief, movement-based activities, and community

building. Our goal is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students can

explore wellness strategies, reduce stress, and build a healthier, happier school

community—together.

The BHS Peer Leaders are excited to host Wellness Day, a special event dedicated to fostering social, emotional, physical, and mental well-being for all students. This day will feature interactive activities designed to promote stress relief, movement, self-care, and community building.

To make this day as impactful as possible, BHSPA is seeking donations to help fund activities engaging wellness experiences for our students. Your support will allow BHSPA to provide students with meaningful tools to manage stress, build resilience, and create a healthier school community.

If you’d like to contribute, please consider making a donation through the BHSPA. Every contribution—big or small—makes a difference!

Thank you for supporting our students’ well-being!

However, if a senior would like to correct something or have something different printed on the diploma, they need to complete the Name Survey on Aspen OR email Ms. Powell specific instructions by March 21, 2025.
