On Friday, February 14, 2025, we celebrated our "First Love Yourself" (FLY) Wellness Initiative, a day dedicated to promoting self-care, personal growth, and well-being for all staff members. This event encouraged staff to prioritize their health and happiness, fostering a supportive work environment.

Each school participated by providing a delightful lunch, featuring a selection of fresh salads, warm bread, and a delicious sweet treat. A key component of the initiative was a recorded presentation titled The Importance of Self-Care, made available by our Employee Assistance Provider, AllOne Health. This informative session emphasized self-care's critical role in maintaining a healthy work-life

This event wouldn't have been possible without the dedication and coordination of our Wellness Champions at Central Office and each school building, who worked tirelessly to ensure a meaningful and impactful experience for all. We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the following Wellness Champions for their commitment and leadership:

• ELC: Felicia Maddox
• Balmoral: Betsy Solem
• Crete: Jody Olson
• CSK: Shannon Bruns
• Monee: Ashlee Navas
• Talala: Jennifer Smith
• CMMS: Jessica Kogler and Dina Chamblee
• CMHS: Ayesha Searcy, Amy Bertoletti, and Sarah Gruber

Together, these individuals helped create an atmosphere of care and support, reminding us of the importance of self-love and well-being in our personal and professional lives. Thank you to all who took part in this amazing initiative—we hope you had a great time!
