Herricks Families Connect at Mental Health & Wellness Fair

On May 21, Herricks Public Schools brought families together for an evening of connection and care at its first-ever Mental Health and Wellness Fair. Hosted at the Community Center, the vibrant event invited elementary students and their parents to participate in engaging, hands-on activities. These experiences were designed to teach practical stress-management tools and foster long-term emotional well-being.

The fair featured a wide range of interactive wellness stations and educational resources. Families walked away with valuable, everyday strategies to navigate daily stressors together, further strengthening the vital bond between home and school.

An event of this scale succeeds only through the dedication of an incredible community. The district extends its deepest gratitude to the school social workers for their thoughtful planning, seamless coordination and unwavering dedication to organizing such a meaningful evening for Herricks families.

Special thanks also go out to the wonderful volunteers whose warmth, time and enthusiasm created such a welcoming and supportive environment for everyone in attendance.

Through events like the Mental Health and Wellness Fair, the Herricks community continues to prioritize the holistic well-being of its students, proving that support, connection, and education are the cornerstones of a healthy school district.
