Congratulations on a great year, HYPE students!

This past Thursday was our final HYPE meeting of the school year, complete with fun snacks, crafts, and plenty of smiles. This year, 39 students from Medway Middle School participated in our HYPE program. We have been excited to watch this group grow and are continually inspired by their passion for promoting health and wellness among their peers.

Click through to see some of our favorite moments from the year, including a segment from our student-led video project, which was featured on the school's morning announcements, and highlights from our HYPE Summer Celebration the week before.

We wish all of our students a wonderful summer and hope to see many familiar faces when we return in the fall! 🎉🌞
