Maddie Momenee and educator Jess Cutliffe brought the topic of mental wellness to the forefront with their school community at Noble High School in Maine. Together, they founded the Noble High School Wellness Club to promote wellbeing as a core part of fostering a successful and healthy school environment. Through weekly school meetings, the club provides students sustainable healthy living habits, on-going conversations on mental wellness and positive ways to manage stress. They respond to issues brought up by students and expose them to healthy ways to define, process and manage their wellness in a supportive community. Along with weekly sessions, the group planned to host a culmination celebration and wellness event in mid-May 2020 for their larger student body.
