Dear Bobcat Families,
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. This year’s theme is ‘Movement: Moving more for our mental health.’ Being active is important for our mental health, so the aim of this Mental Health Awareness Week is to help people to find moments for movement in their daily routines. There are so many things you can do to support good mental health: from movement, to spending time in nature, getting enough sleep, spending time doing things you love, and, our favorite...kindness! Our BJH School Counselors will be hosting a variety of lunchtime activities the week of May 13 to bring awareness to Mental Health Month. Being kind can improve our own physical and mental health in addition to helping others. See the attached kindness calendar to use at home with your families to reinforce the power of kindness this month!
