Wellness Center

One more week until spring break! Spring break is a great time to spend some quality time with your student. In many cases, while students are on break they need something meaningful to occupy their unstructured time away from school. The Lafayette library is hosting the Swell Center over spring break which is a perfect place for 6th to 12th grade students. The Swell Center is completely free and offers a space for students to drop in, connect with peers, unwind or even try new activities. Some of the activities planned for this year include eating 3-D printer pancakes, watching a movie, dance and movement and more! If your student is bored over break, encourage them to drop by the Lafayette library.
 
Last, but certainly not least, Friday, Mar 31 is International Day of TransgenderVisibility.This day is dedicated to the accomplishments of transgender and gender nonconforming people while raising awareness of the work that still needs to be done to achieve trans justice (glsen.org). The Wellness Center at AHS is ALWAYS a safe space for trans and nonbinary students. We celebrate and advocate for the experiences of trans and nonbinary students not only on March 31, but every day. If you are interested in resources on how to support your trans or nonbinary student, RainbowCommunity Center is an invaluable local resource in getting you the support you need.
