You Mattress, I Chair! The Power of Mental Health in Schools

Feb 12, 2025

You Mattress, I Chair! The Power of Mental Health in Schools
Stressed? Uncertain? In schools, the mental health of students is often understated and dismissed. In these situations, there are no viable programs or help that students can seek. Students are susceptible to depression and anxiety as they face stressful situations at school, whether it is academically or socially. As a result, this presentation aims to be more than a deck of slides. Rather, it will be focused on spreading awareness of the pervasive issues of mental health and educating others on the overarching importance of students’ wellbeing. We want to encourage students to reflect on themselves and their community by engaging them through our interactive session. Most importantly, we want to inspire students to implement what they have learned in our session in their school communities. Learn more about “You Mattress, I Chair!”

CJSF DiGiovanna Award Essay Contest is open until January 13th

Jan 3, 2025

CJSF membership does not require community service but it is strongly encouraged. Many chapters give extra recognition for participating in service activities. If you are a CJSF member who gives back to your community, tell us about it, and compete for a $100 award at the same time. There will be one award given in each region.

This essay contest is in memory of Joanna DiGiovanna, an enthusiastic teacher and CJSF Adviser, and a volunteer on the State Board of Directors. This is a great opportunity for CJSF members to write and share about their community service activities. Your community begins with your family and spreads out from there.

To apply, students must write an essay in response to this prompt:

“CJSF prides itself on service to communities. Tell us how your service experiences impacted you, your school and community.”

Previous DiGiovanna Award Essay Contest winners have written about:

  • Joining Earth Club and learning to care about and care for the local environment.
  • Bringing music to residents of an assisted living center by playing the piano monthly.
  • Volunteering at an elementary school robotics club.

The DiGiovanna Award Essay Contest is open to all students who are members of a CJSF chapter in good standing.
