🖤💛 This morning, our Health and Wellness Team gathered bright and early to continue shaping a strong foundation for student and staff well-being at Farmington R-7. We focused on three key areas driving our work: ✔️ Mental Health & Healthy Behavior ✔️ Substance Abuse Prevention ✔️ Sense of Belonging Using the WSCC model (Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child), we explored how our 2024–2027 Wellness Strategic Plan supports a healthier, more connected learning environment. Thoughtful conversations sparked new ideas and highlighted where we can grow next. Every student deserves to feel safe, supported, and seen. And we’re committed to making that happen—together. 💪 #StrongSchools #StrongCommunity #WSCC

Who’s That? Meet Robin Wade! Robin Wade is the Administrative Assistant to the Principal at Farmington High School—and if you've ever been to a home soccer game, you've probably heard her voice on the PA! 🎙️ Robin is a proud Farmington native who loves reading, baking, and cheering on her kids in sports. She once grilled an entire night’s worth of steaks at Ponderosa (including the ribeyes and porterhouses!) and says trying octopus soup was one of her strangest food adventures. 🐙 She treasures time spent with her family at concerts, carving pumpkins during Halloween, or relaxing at the beach. At work, Robin finds joy in serving others and making a positive impact—especially when she sees students who have overcome challenges walk across that graduation stage. 💛🖤 Thank you, Robin, for the heart you bring to our high school daily! #StrongSchools #StrongCommunity #FarmingtonStrong
