🌍💚 Celebrating World Mental Health Day at Wellford Academy! 💚🌍
Today, we're shining a light on the importance of mental well-being. At Wellford Academy, we believe that taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our bodies. We're proud to offer counseling services for our students, providing a safe space where they can express themselves, work through challenges, and thrive.
Families, we’re here to support your child’s journey every step of the way! Together, let’s prioritize mental health and build a brighter, healthier future for our kids. 💫✨
🚀✨ What an amazing "in-house" field trip! Our 5th graders explored the wonders of the Star Lab with Roper Mountain Science Center, while our 3rd graders learned all about force through a hands-on presentation. The students had a blast discovering the universe and diving into science right here at school! 🌌🔍
Check out our Facebook album for more photos!
🍂 Cooler weather is here, and our Lost & Found is overflowing with jackets and hoodies! 🧥
