Earlier today, Juniors and Seniors at RHAM took part in Wellness Day. During periods three and four, students attended a variety of seminars, including meditation, ballroom dancing, vegetarian cooking, and tai-chi. All students then returned to the Auditorium to hear a presentation. The students were entertained by acrobatics and feats of juggling while they listened to the story of one man's struggle to overcome alcohol addiction and its associated problems.
According to Principal Leslie, the purpose of Wellness Day was twofold. First, the state of Connecticut requires that Juniors and Seniors be educated in certain health-related areas. This requirement was met by the variety of seminars offered during Wellness Day. The second aim was to remind students of the dangers of alcohol and drug use before both Junior and Senior Proms took place. The Junior Prom takes place this Saturday and the Senior Prom about three weeks after that.
Wellness Day has become an annual event at RHAM, and judging by the success of this one, it will continue to be so in the future.
