Copy of Aug - Norman Well Lived
Your mental health and wellness is vital to your success at Beverly. The NormanAid Wellness Center and my team is here to support YOU throughout your high school journey.
Beginning high school or returning after summer vacation can be both exciting and daunting. Now, during this pandemic era, on top of our typical worries about classes, grades and friends, we are all experiencing a whole new set of anxieties. You are not alone.
NormanAid provides you with free and confidential COUNSELING, useful tools on our website in the GET SUPPORT section, and EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS to help you achieve wellness and reach your goals.
Every Tuesday, we celebrate wellness through our MonthlyAid, Mental Health Tuesdays, & podcast program. We will visit your PE classes on Mondays & Tuesdays to explore the physical, mental, and emotional well-being and the mind and body connection. You’ll have the opportunity to watch our podcast, learn mindfulness skills, participate in activities led by Peer Counselors, and learn from inspirational speakers.
August is “Norman Well Lived” month.
This month we have been exploring what the BHHS motto means and how to make it a way of life. By focusing on mental and emotional health, you can achieve personal and academic aspirations and make every tomorrow a vision of hope.
A successful and happy Norman lives by our Beverly Hills High School motto:
What is a “Norman Well Lived” to you?
Make our BHHS motto your way of life!
