Today, on April 14th, Dexter Regional High School is hosting a Mental Health Day event for students. The event has been organized by the school's Positive Action Team, with the aim of helping students build a sense of community, learn about resiliency, explore coping skills, and manage stress. In today's fast-paced and often stressful world, it's essential to prioritize mental health, and this event provides a valuable opportunity for students to do just that.

The day will include a variety of activities, such as roller skating, paint pouring, ping pong, Zumba, crochet, cards and games, arts and crafts, and more. The Positive Action Team will also provide information to students about the mental health resources available to them at The Prevention Café. The day will end with a staff versus students basketball game, and if you ask me, my money’s on the younger folks.
