May is Mental Health Awareness Month - a time when people are encouraged to discuss and address both public, and their own mental health. 

This week, students at Fort LeBoeuf High School had the chance to participate in Mental Health Month, with their own student-run mental health week, culminating in today's relaxation-filled day. 

Students say it helps them relax ahead of the upcoming final exam season.

"I know that a lot of people kind of are stressed at school, so this is kind of a good escape from like normally the normal school activities," said Junior Alaina Dinsmore, a junior who has helped run and organize the event for the past two years. 

"One of our teachers came up to us, we're all in a club called Blue Crew, which is our school spirit club. And he kind of said 'we want to start something new that like brings awareness to mental health.' So we kinda started planning. We put together everything last year, we kind of learned from stuff and we decided we wanted to do it again this year."

Junior Ashlyne Rohler, another student organizer, tells us what else students like her did to encourage mental health awareness this week. 

"For Thursday we called it 'Thoughtful Thursday,' and we got rosters of our first periods, and we wrote their names with a compliment just kind of to encourage them," said Rohler, addressing the hearts on the wall with compliments about their classmates written on them. 

And student organizer Callie Inks says it's great to see all their hard work pay off.

"It's so rewarding to have people come up to us and asking about it and asking if we're doing it again, and seeing all the smiles and people laughing and having fun at school because some kids really struggle with that and dread coming to school," said Inks, another junior. "And today I know a lot of students were looking forward to coming to it, it's just very rewarding."
