Rocket Boost! Updates

Boost Mood, Connections & Overall Health

Rocket Boost!UpdatesBoost Mood, Connections & Overall Health

Rocket Boost! Has Skyrocketed!

Rocket Boost! has been such a positive experience for our students, and staff at JM since Spring of 2023. Each month we provide an activity intended as a Tier 1 Mental Health Support. It is open to all students & staff to attend, is free, and run during lunch periods to make it available to anyone interested in joining us. The events are primarily facilitated by our Resiliency Specialist, Assistant Principal, and Community School Coordinator.

Data Collection Helps Support the Initiative

At our last Rocket Boost! activity in October, we did some data collection with the students that attended.
