May is Mental Health Awareness Month 💚

This month’s Word of the Month is: Balance 🌱

Balance is about learning how to take care of your mind, body, emotions, and relationships, especially during stressful or overwhelming moments.

Sometimes balance looks like:
✨ Taking time to rest
✨ Talking to someone you trust
✨ Spending time with people who support you
✨ Making space for both responsibilities and joy

At My Buddy Bench Project, we believe helping students build healthy habits and emotional awareness supports lifelong mental wellness.

Because balance doesn’t mean life is perfect, it means learning how to care for yourself when things feel heavy. 💚

A moment we’re proud of. 💙

Back in February, we had the opportunity to bring our Enrichment Activities to Cutler Ridge Park, sharing kindness, connection, and meaningful moments with the community.

These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.

The smiles, the conversations, the small acts of kindness that turn into something bigger.

Grateful for every opportunity to plant seeds of kindness wherever we go. 🌱

Serving with heart. 💚

This month, we’re focusing on the power of service: showing kindness, offering support, and helping others without expecting anything in return.

Service doesn’t have to be big to be meaningful.
It can be as simple as listening, including someone, or lending a helping hand.

A beautiful example of this was seen through the student volunteers from Christopher Columbus High School, who served at Goulds Elementary in partnership with Cristina’s Academy, creating connection, encouragement, and a sense of belonging.

Because when students learn to serve others, they learn that true leadership is rooted in compassion and responsibility.

Let’s continue to lead with kindness and serve with purpose. 💚
