They highlighted another Herren Project Club activity, the I Am, poster, and encouraged their school community to pick a word or positive affirmation to remind themselves of how valuable they are. They held a “Teacher Gift Bag Raffle” which helped them to raise funds for a local Addiction Treatment Center. They created a “Wellness Retreat” in one of their hallways that highlighted the Herren Project Club Pillars and wrote ideas on the windows so that the other students and faculty could learn more about how to take better care of themselves. Lastly, they had a very successful Wellness Week With Herren! We collected hats, gloves, underwear, socks, water bottles, snack bags, sugar, coffee, blankets, backpacks, crackers, etc.” -Ms. “Joseph’s House is a homeless shelter servicing those affected by addiction and/or mental health issues. In December 2022, they organized a district-wide collection for Joseph’s House in Camden, NJ. Red Ribbon Week is the Nation’s largest and longest-running drug-use prevention campaign and is held every October. They also participated in Red Ribbon Week, helping to spread awareness around the prevention of substance use. It is scented with lavender to add to the calming effects. It can then be used when they are feeling stressed out as a “stress ball”. Stress Away Dough is a hands-on activity that your club members can work together to create. Next up, the members of the Herren Project Club got together to create Stress Away Dough, one of our Herren Project Club activities as the school year was well underway. They then participated in their local Race for Recovery where they were able to raise funds for Herren Project as well as a local rehabilitation center called Maryville Addiction and Treatment Center!
