Menlo’s student-run Body Positivity Alliance invited mental health advocate Victoria Garrick to speak at an assembly and join students for a Q&A. Garrick, a Sacred Heart Graduate and former USC volleyball player, addressed the pressures of growing up in the age of social media, the importance of self-compassion, and the power of de-stigmatizing the act of seeking help for mental health struggles. The Coat of Arms has the story.

Menlo School hosted the 1Bay Summit for Bay Area students who want to make a difference in their world. The Almanac was on hand to cover the event that featured student delegates from 10 area high schools.
