This week is Mental Health and Education week. Throughout the week we will be exploring the theme, “Feel Well, Think Well, Learn Well...Together.”

Today we are looking at self-care. Taking care of our mental and physical health helps us feel strong and ready to start the week. #MHUG

Thank you so much Keira P for designing the Logo for the 2026 Mental Health and Education Week. Keira’s logo was picked by the Mental Health and Education committee from all the submissions we received.

Thank you to all other students who participated in the logo contest and submitted a logo.

Empathy is about being able to consider what someone else may be going through and imagining how they might be feeling or thinking.
Empathy is important because with empathy we are more likely to treat people the way they wish you would treat them.
Empathy is often the first step towards compassionate action and helping others.
Encourage your child/ren to consider how others may experience certain situations. Talk about what these situations could mean and discuss how to be empathetic.
Championing Health and Well being: Did you know that empathy can increase satisfaction in relationships and can lower stress levels which are two key factors in enhancing overall health and well-being.

Kindness matters!

Today hundreds of students from Centre Wellington came together at Elora PS for the second Empowerment Series event. Sharing messages of hope, kindness, and how to be the good in the world, were speakers Brian Williams and Patrick Anderson. Some students also got the chance to play a bit of Wheelchair Basketball, too!

What an inspirational day for students!

Thank you to our sponsors for making today possible: Impact Sponsor Skyline, Legacy Partners Optimist Clubs of the UGDSB Area, the Upper Grand District School Board and the Specialist High Skills Major program.
