REST club was the inspiration of a group of 9th grade girls who lead very busy lives. The club's two main goals are to promote positive mental health and to help lower stress levels. The official latin motto is 'cesso, otior, laetus sum' , which translates to “I slack off, I take it easy, I'm happy.” The students have started a listserve and put out weekly newsletters. The club meets Friday at lunchtime in Mr. King’s room for relaxing conversation and activities |
