🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT🚨

After much consideration, Expressions by Walgreens will be taking a hiatus for the 2024 school year.

This decision was not made lightly, as we deeply value the incredible impact the program has had on students and communities over the years.

While Expressions is pausing, please know that our commitment to serving and engaging our communities remains strong. We are exploring new opportunities to continue supporting students and educators in meaningful ways. Stay tuned for updates as we look ahead to the future.

The Expressions Team.

Happy National Author’s Day!✍🏽 Today, we’re celebrating the power of words and the creativity of our student authors. 🌟 Here’s a beautiful slam poetry piece called SHOW US WHAT YOU HAVE DONE written and performed by Sasmitha Baskaran from Solon High School Let’s continue to support and inspire young voices as they craft the stories of tomorrow! 📖"As a high school senior who just took part in the college application process, she felt as though colleges never saw her for who she really was and was very discouraged. She hopes that this poem will inspire others to understand that they are more that just a number.

BULLYING PREVENTION MONTH 🎗️

💙 Speak up and support others. Be the voice that makes a difference.

On the Other Side of the Screen by Lydia S. from Midwood High School

Spurred by the modern times heavily reliant on technology, I wanted to create a piece that could depict some of the consequences behind cyberbullying. Through screens we are able to communicate to each other without being face to face and the anonymity that this provides may enable cyberbullies to feel empowered when targeting someone online. Being able to freely make fun of someone or take out their anger through hurtful words on others may seriously affect their victims. On the other side of the screen, the comments these cyberbullies make, whether fully aware or unaware of the true extent of the damage they can cause, has already hit its mark.

It's WORLD MENTAL HEALH DAY 🎗️ 🧠

Mental health affects all aspects of our lives, and taking care of it is just as important as physical health. It’s time to break the stigma and support one another on the path to wellness.

🧠 Talk About It: Have conversations about mental health with friends, family, and colleagues.
🧠 Seek Support: If you're struggling, reach out. Whether it's a friend, counselor, or support group, help is available.
🧠 Check In: Ask others how they’re really doing. Sometimes, the simplest question can make the biggest difference.

Projected Mentality by Alicia H. from Palos Verdes Peninsula High School

I dedicate this painting to those who struggle with their mental health, to those who suffer in silence and live concealing their pain day by day. Above all, I devote this painting to one young soul who left the world too soon.
