Iola High School students signed a banner supporting mental health awareness Wednesday. The effort, coordinated by Mustangs for Mental Health, part of Zero Reasons Why Allen County, is designed to help create a supportive school culture. Travis Buck, a peer mentor lead with Southeast Kansas Mental Health Center, said approximately 120 students shared encouraging statements.
Over 90 middle and high school students from Marmaton Valley did the same Tuesday, using duct tape and sharpies to write short messages of support. Humboldt students completed their banner earlier this month, as reported by the Register.
