Crestwood Middle School’s student council and National Junior Honor Society leadership have been meeting with Alexa Lee from the Palm Beach County Behavioral Health Coalition all year, creating and planning projects and initiatives focusing on drug and vaping prevention. The coalition developed a Mental Health for You(th) Course for students to recognize signs and symptoms of mental health challenges. What’s so amazing about this course is that Crestwood is the only school with multiple students featured — Nora Leonard, Nicholle Sangronis and Isabella Caceres. Additionally, Crestwood is one of seven areas throughout the county that are participating in environmental messaging and other activities promoting two campaign messaging activities on vaping prevention, marijuana use by youth and underage drinking. The school thanks Lee and the PBCBHC for the $2,000 donation to the student council and NJHS in this effort.
