Though we cannot share the same physical space right now, we can still remain supportive of each other.
WKHS Calm Cafe Mission
& History
Life can be overwhelming, anxiety invoking and stressful.
Sometimes we all need a healthy space to escape.
Calm Cafe is a movement and mission for all students and staff in our WKHS family to have a safe space to feel emotionally supported, build skills of regulation & learn to nurture our calm centers through restorative and mindfulness practices.
In our building we share a physical space, virtually we can now share this space too.
In the 2018-19 school year a group of dedicated students and staff worked together to create a safe space for students to use to regulate emotions, decompress and find a way to connect with others in a meaningful manner.
This virtual space is meant for students and families to use as a simple resource,
it is periodically updated but not regularly monitored.
