Heal Together All-School Assembly supports mental health, wellness
This week, Edina Public Schools students heard stories, lessons and practical advice about navigating this changed world from a Vikings football player, a finalist from The Voice, a standup comedian, and professionals from across the school district during the first ever Heal Together All-School Assembly.
The Heal Together All-School Assembly was created through a partnership between the Edina Public Schools and the Edina Education Fund. During the event, every EPS classroom screened a 15-minute video production featuring Superintendent John Schultz, district principals and health professionals, and students from all grades talking about how they take care of their mental health and the resources available to students. Edina Public Schools anticipates that the social-emotional needs of students will be greater in the aftermath of Covid-19. Thanks to a long-standing relationship between the Edina Education Fund and the District, mental health and wellness professionals from Fraser are now located in every school across the district for students to access.
