Wellness at Worcester Prep

12/6/2024

Berlin, MD – As Thanksgiving break approached, Worcester Preparatory School (WPS) students took a moment to unwind during "Wellness @ Worcester," a program designed to alleviate stress during a typically hectic time.

The week leading up to a holiday break can be chaotic for students as they try to complete their to-do lists before finding time to relax. "Wellness @ Worcester" was launched last year as an initiative to support the physical and mental well-being of Upper School students. Spearheaded by enthusiastic senior Lydia Schwartz in collaboration with the College Counseling program, the event introduces students to a holistic approach to health, focusing on stress management, study skills, and healthy lifestyle choices.

On the Friday before the break, Upper School students enjoyed warm apple cider and hot chocolate while participating in various activities such as decorating cookies, playing Giant Jenga, using adult coloring books, writing thank-you cards to family and friends, and crafting beaded bracelets.

Founded in 1970, Worcester Preparatory School is a private, independent institution for Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12, located in Berlin, Maryland. Approximately 500 students attend from Maryland, Delaware, and Virginia. For more information about Worcester Preparatory School, please visit www.worcesterprep.org or call 410.641.3575.
