Students were provided with several opportunities to get involved in by showing their support through daily challenges. These challenges included Mindfulness Monday, TikTok Tuesday, Workout Wednesday, Thankful Thursday, and Fun Friday. The goal for these daily challenges was to provide students with a voice and establishment of making a positive difference throughout their community. Students were also given the opportunity to be involved in an art contest in order to help raise even more awareness. At the end of the month, the winner of the contest received $100 worth of art supplies. Avrie Towns from Pleasant Grove Elementary won the art contest and her message to the community was, "Shine brighter and smile longer." Along with these challenges, Sutter-Yuba Behavioral Health donated several supplies in support of Children's Mental Health Awareness week. A packet with several mindfulness activities was created by the Student Support and Outreach Team, which was then placed in activity packs along with the supplies that were donated. On May 7th both Sutter County Children and Families Commission and the Student Support and Outreach Team created a drive through community event for students to pick up these packs. At the event there 130 activity packs given out. It didn't stop there though, 70 activity packs were also given to Marcum Illinois Unified and 100 activity packs were given to Live Oak Unified. Overall, Children's Mental Health Awareness Week was extremely successful in implementing positivity throughout the community. It truly was all about the kids and that is was the goal of the week. Sutter Support and Outreach Counselor, Sydni Beaver couldn't have said it better, "We were able to spread positivity in a time it was needed most." The Sutter County Student Support and Outreach Team could not have been more pleased with the results of this event and look forward to implementing several more in the near future For more information, contact Coordinator Virginia Burns: Student Support and Outreach Department: (530) 822-2969.
