Bellmore students took time to continuously improve their mind and bodies during Shore Road School’s virtual Health and Safety Week on March 8-12. The event featured professionals in the areas of social-emotional and mental and physical health wellness.

“An emphasis on wellness is more important than ever and students acquired the skills during Health and Safety Week to continuously improve their bodies and minds,” Principal Patrice Matthews said.

On Medical Monday, students attended a virtual health fair with the Cohen Children’s Medical Center and then disconnected from their electronic devices on Time Out Tuesday. Wind Down Wednesday included a mindfulness and chair yoga session with registered yoga teacher Donna Coogan. Everyone wore read to bring heart health awareness on Heart healthy Thursday. The week culminated with a mental health wellness seminar presented by Trish Shulman of the Long Island Crisis Center.
