Mental Health Assembly

On Friday, May 17th Mr. Kevin Polky came to share with the Roosevelt 4th and 5th graders about mental health. He started an organization called Shatter Our Silence to raise awareness of mental health and suicide in young people today. He shared information with our students on how to create a strong support system for themselves and find people they trust to talk. It was a wonderful presentation and our students were able to continue the discussion in their classrooms and fill out their own “protective shield” with positive things about themselves and a list of people they trust. Thank you for your visit Mr. Polky and for helping us to all be more aware of ourselves and others mental health states.
