The Jonathan Law Natural Helpers club is creating a De-stress Fest before final exams.

This is an opportunity for students to relieve stress and to lend a helping hand.

Natural Helpers intends to host their annual De-stress Fest in the senior parking lot,  which allows students to put their feet up and enjoy themselves before finals and the end of the school year. It will be there to help manage stress with the many activities provided.

“There will be two days of activities with the natural helpers,” junior club member Giuliana Aguilar said. “One of the days we have rooms with specific activities such as a movie room and an arts and crafts room, and the next day is the petting zoo.”

The cozy room, game room, mindful art room, new gym, and ice cream will be Wednesday, June 8, and the petting zoo will be on Thursday, June 9 after school. It will be a fun day for students to take advantage of the provided activities.

Students will be able to unwind after their AP exams and prepare mentally for finals at the festival. This is an opportunity for students to participate in after-school activities and relax while also socializing. 

“I think the De-Stress Fest is a useful and fun stress management tool that every student should take advantage of,” junior club member Skylar Johnson said. “Everything, including the game room, cozy room, mindful room, new gym, ice cream truck, and petting zoo is free. Any student is welcome to stop by and relive any finals stress they may have.”

During this time it can be very draining for students, this can be a great opportunity to take a break from homework and studying. The Natural Helpers are thrilled to lend a helping hand and be of assistance. 

“Taking time before finals to participate in the De-stress Fest may help students by making them feel less overwhelmed and less stressed at the end of the year,” junior club member Aislinn Burns said. “It’s important to take care of yourself, especially around finals time which is why participating in some of the De-stress fest activities is so important.”

Members of the club suggested attending the event, emphasizing the importance of engaging yourself in the activities offered to you. Everything available will be free. 

“The Natural Helpers hope that students will come out and spend some time engaging in self-care before a week of final exams,” Natural Helpers advisor Ms. Smuniewski said. “It’s been a long year, so relax with some games, ice cream, and animals. We hope to see you there.”
