South Pasadena High School Students Find Warmth and Calm in Renovated Wellness Center
As students gathered in the SPHS Wellness Center on Thursday, February 15, there was a noticeable buzz in the air about the renovated space and the opportunity to have a special place to chill and relax.
With soothing music playing in the background, students and staff gathered to celebrate the renovated SPHS Wellness Center, which is located in the back of the counseling center. The space includes cozy chairs, dedicated study space, colorful artwork, and calming activities. The renovation project was led by Train Your Brain Specialist and school social worker Natasha Stebbins and will be curated with the help of the SPHS Peer Mediators.
South Pasadena Unified School District (SPUSD) thanks SPEF, SPHS PTSA, the D.U.D.E.S., and the Kiwanis Club of South Pasadena for their generous donations and commitment to helping improve student mental health.
