Mar 19, 2019 | 6:20 AM

RED DEER- On Monday, students and staff at École Secondaire Notre Dame High School participated in an “Ignite Your Spark” wellness day.

Sparks—when illuminated and nurtured—give young people joy, energy, and direction.

Sparks have the power to change a young person’s life from one of “surviving” to “thriving.” 

“Our hope was to expose our school population to activities and ideas that will spark their interest to promote healthy lifestyles, coping strategies and overall positive mental health,” said Teacher Christy Magill at École Secondaire Notre Dame High School.

The day began with Amped2Play, the keynote speaker and then students divided into different sessions from 10:00 a.m. – 2:20 p.m.
