Spotlight on Wellness: Movember 2024

The month of November has long been associated with Movember, a grassroots movement that began in 2003 and is now an internationally recognized organization that supports men’s health and well-being. Here at Greenwood, our school’s Jack Chapter and Athletics Committee organized many activities and initiatives to help promote active mindfulness and well-being for all. 

The month kicked off with fun, destressing activities such as bracelet making, dancing, walking, dodgeball and trivia about men’s health. Later in the month, community grade groups had discussions about well-being. Additionally, students could make their own personal stress ball, colour in a colouring page or create a bracelet during Movember Mindful Munch at lunch. With shortened days in November, these activities help the school community keep their moods and spirits high while introducing new ways to stay mindful and active. 

Thank you to the Athletics Committee and Jack Chapter for helping us to begin thoughtful conversations and teaching us ways to manage stress.
