Our 1st ELC Wellness Fair takes place this Wednesday May 29th! The ELC Wellness Club Committee has organized an amazing day of community partners who will be sharing their resources and supports. Aside from mental health agencies, there will also be volunteer opportunities with agencies, as well as some cool prizes and freebies for students who participate. Our community partners will be present during the lunch hour near the front foyer. Students attending will receive a passport style card and have each community partner stamp their visit. A card with at least 10 different stamps will allow a student to participate in a draw for a self-care wellness basket. Draws to take place at the end of the day Wednesday. This is a great opportunity to win a free basket for yourself, or as a gift for someone else. Please see Carleen our Social Worker or Nurse Dana with any questions about our Wellness Fair.
