b'5 Educate our Communityon the Core Principlesof Well-BeingThough well-being is always a focus at Greenwood, our focus on this area became especially critical when COVID-19 forced the closure of our school building in March. Our teachers were attuned to students needs throughout the closure, adapting lesson delivery as necessary. Well-being activities such as mindful moments, activity breaks and brain breaks, already part of our class structure, were used much more frequently during this time; teachers were mindful of the need to model self-care. We also offered four school-wide Well-being Wednesday sessions in April and May; students could participate in sessions run by teachers such as baking, trivia or pilates, or use the day to recharge away from their screen. Aside from these initiatives, we made many other strides in well-being this year. We again increased the availability of our school social worker, Lori Houzer, enabling her to counsel even more students. Many staff members completed Mental Health First Aid training, ensuring that they have the knowledge necessary to support those experiencing a mental health crisis. We continued to offer Boys and Girls Groups for Grades 7-11; these groups give students a structured, yet open, forum to discuss issues affecting girls and boys and to form and strengthen new friendships. Finally, we hired our first Director, Student Well-being, who started in her role in August of 2020.Greenwood Annual Report 2019/2020 6'
