One of the key focus areas of our district’s strategic plan is the “Culture of Caring” – “Ensuring a sense of belonging and inclusion to foster engagement in a safe and respectful community.”
There are multiple ways we create this culture. One is providing the resources that our staff and students can access to support their mental and physical health. Another is to provide activities that proactively create awareness about wellness.
As we approach World Mental Health Day on Thursday, I want to make you aware of an opportunity for families to learn more about mental and physical health - the first ever “UCS Family Wellness Fair.”
The event is free and open to the entire community on Saturday, October 19 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Henry Ford II High School, 11911 Clinton River Road in Sterling Heights.
The fair was created as a family event and will include fun activities, giveaways and raffle prizes.
There will also be booths featuring more than 35 organizations committed to social-emotional learning, physical fitness and food and nutrition.
Keynote speakers will provide information to parents on nicotine and vaping and how to boost focus in children. For more information, please see this link.
The Culture of Caring we create is built on the power of partnerships with our families and the entire community. We do not work alone in UCS.
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to learn more about how we can support each other and make sure our children have the wellness tools they need to grow individually and socially.
