What is Wellness?
Wellness is anything and everything from sleeping, eating healthily, and exercise, all the way to mental health, anti-bullying, and gender and sexuality. Overall, wellness is one's physical and mental health combined into a single word.
Who Are We?
Wellness council is a group of students in grades 8-12, lead by Ms. Lee. We meet every Thursday at lunch in room 013. At these meetings, we propose, discuss, and develop possible upcoming wellness events for the students at WPGA. This is an open council so ALL are welcome!
What is Our Goal?
Our primary goal as a council is to promote and educate students on the importance of self-care. This group also embodies the concept of "students helping students." Essentially, we hope to create meaningful and lasting connections both across and within grades, and help others do the same.

Yoga & Meditation Club
Every Monday afternoon from 3:45-4:30pm in the study. With both a mix of meditation, yoga, and a daily reading, the goal of this practice is to enhance one's well-being and personal awareness. Bring yoga mats if you have them, but if not, we will have extras! Ms. Green and Tess B look forward to seeing you there!
Eede - WPGA's Therapy Dog Program
Students may have noticed a new member of the wolf pack who started coming in several years ago. Her name is Eede, and she is in fact closer to being in the wolf pack than one may think; partly because she is in fact a dog! Eede, Mr. Pike's family dog, is a certified therapy dog who comes to school every few days or so. If you have a minute and are having a really stressful day or just need some mellow company, feel free to visit Eede; after all, that's why she is here!
Bathroom Care Baskets
In the women's washrooms, there are baskets filled with personal care items (spray deodorant, hand lotion, feminine hygiene products, hair ties, etc.) If the basket is ever running low on supplies, please let a member of wellness council know so we can keep it updated!
