ROGERS WELLNESS CENTER IS HERE!  

LauraThornWe are so excited to welcome Laura Thron, ASW, PPSC as the social worker for our new Wellness Center on campus.   The mission of our Wellness Center is to offer a range of resources to support students and families in meeting the challenges of adolescence through prevention, early intervention, and education in a safe and convenient place at school.  The Wellness Center will operate Mondays, Wednesdays and every other Friday before school starts and during lunch in Room 4102. (just outside the cafeteria).

ShortWellness QR Code term counseling services are available by appointment.  Click here or scan QR code.

In order to design and provide a relaxing environment where students have access to various tools to utilize at school, we need your help and donations!    We are looking for cozy furniture such as bean bags, couches, cute bins and shelving, rugs of any size, a mini fridge, microwave and moveable carts.   We also are in need of art supplies, puzzles, bar cart games and mindfulness/wellness decor.
