Wellness Week, February 13 - 17

Wellness Week is designed and dedicated to providing updated information for the ACS student body about factors that contribute to wellness. These factors include:

substance abuse, nutrition, exercise, personal development, physical and emotional safety, conflict resolution, inner strength and purpose of life.

Embedded within each of these presentations is the message that all of the above are in the control of the individual. Wellness impacts the daily decisions and choices that people make about their intellectual, emotional, social and physical health.

This year, two main topics will be explored in detail: “Communication without aggression” and “Alcohol Abuse,” concentrating on how these two factors can affect individuals as well as those around them.  Specific notions connected to wellness related to self respecting and respecting others will be elaborated on.

Also, do not forget that the Anti Drug Basketball Tournament is going on (February 17th - 19th) with many exciting games (including the very popular Celebrity Game on the last day of the tournament.)

We are honored to welcome each of the presenters who are experts in their fields and are devoting their time and knowledge for our students.
