7th and 8th Grade Health Day at Alexandria Central School. Students covered the topics of self-care, sexual harassment, mental health, yoga, self-regulation, sex ed, and social media with the help of generous and knowledgeable members of our community. @ACSDghosts
Shoutout to all the educators who view hallway duty, bus duty, lunch duty, and any other duty over the course of the day, as an opportunity to greet, speak with, and acknowledge students in a non-academic space.
