🌟 Meet Ms. Wilson and Ms. Schooler, your Walker-Grant Youth Mental Health Taskforce Leaders! 🌟
The Fredericksburg City Public Schools Youth Mental Health Taskforce is a diverse group of middle and high school students who have come together to raise awareness about mental health issues within their school community. The youth taskforce is working on a variety of initiatives, including hosting workshops, creating informational materials, and organizing events aimed at reducing the stigma surrounding mental health.
Ms. Wilson, a school counselor at Walker-Grant Middle School, supports students’ academic, emotional, and career growth. She’s passionate about helping them overcome challenges and achieve their goals. Ms. Schooler, now teaching art at Walker-Grant Middle School after seven years of teaching English, is excited to help students express themselves creatively.
Ms. Wilson believes mental health is key to success. She’s seen how it impacts students' learning and provides a safe, supportive space for them to thrive. Ms. Schooler stresses the importance of speaking up about mental health and encourages students to share their feelings and prioritize self-care.
Fun facts:
• Ms. Wilson is a proud Swiftie and saw Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour three times! 🎶
• Ms. Schooler recently started crocheting and loves making amigurumi while listening to audiobooks! 🧶
