We were excited to welcome Alyssa Gammel from the Wicomico County Partnership for Families and Children as she stopped by to celebrate our very own Ana Waters! Ana entered a beautiful piece of artwork into the countywide art show hosted during the Children’s Mental Health Matters Event at James M. Bennett High School. Out of more than 100 student entries from across the county, Ana earned 2nd place among all elementary school participants! This year’s art prompt asked students: “What does mental health mean to you?” Ana’s creativity, thoughtfulness, and talent truly stood out, and we could not be more proud of her accomplishment. Congratulations, Ana! 🎨💙🐼
