Calm Room at Bingham High Helps to Focus on Student Wellness Every Day

Posted on

It is a peaceful place located just outside Bingham High School’s counseling center. School leaders celebrated the official opening of the “Calm Room” this week. It is a room which provides space for students to reset and adjust during the school day. Students check in with a wellness attendant and then are given access to the room for up to 10 minutes. The room is a perfect example of Bingham High’s prioritization of student well-being, along with academics and physical activity.

The “Calm Room” was made possible, in part, thanks to a grant from the Cook Center for Human Connection.

Thanks to everyone involved for making student health and wellness a priority.
