Our Littlest Lions recently welcomed a special guest, Ms. Mia from NAMI, who shared an important message about taking care of ourselves—including our mental health and emotional well-being.

Ms. Mia reminded students that everyone can be a mental health superhero! Through age-appropriate conversations and strategies, students learned that taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies. They explored the importance of recognizing their feelings, sharing emotions with a trusted adult, and using strategies to help when big feelings arise.

By learning these skills early, our Littlest Lions are building the confidence to express themselves, learning how to understand our feelings, and knowing it's always okay to ask for help.

Thank you to Ms. Keri Williams, LES guidance counselor, for her leadership in bringing in this program and helping our youngest learners build the tools they need to feel supported, understood, and ready to grow!
