This new center has been created to provide a safe area for those students who are overwhelmed with the fast-paced and pressure-filled experience of high school. Jane’s Healing Heart, Mind & Soul Center will offer an area of contemplation for students to slow down their minds, bodies, and souls and focus calmly on their breathing and well-being. This space will assist in alleviating anxiety, worry, and concern throughout the school day. This center will also provide a comfortable area that is designed to include all of the tools that have been researched by mental health care professionals to reduce daily stressors.
Message from Jim Powers on behalf of the entire Powers Family
“It is our hope that this program will be received by students on two levels:
1. For those facing a challenging time: Gratitude for their faith, trust in their individual strength, and the available spiritual, professional, and overall well-being that will help them get through the bumps along life’s unfolding path.
2. For those enjoying a 5-Star day (and they will): a visit for a moment of reflection, appreciation, and reminder that when they too face a challenge (and they will), the resources are in place to help.
On behalf of Tom and our entire family, especially Jane’s nieces and nephews, with Liz representing the dispersed clan, we very much appreciate the opportunity to offer our support for this program. Our best thoughts to all who find peace and solace here.”
Lourdes Principal, Meghan Vilardo further commented during the dedication, “Thank you for making this space a reality for our students. We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your thoughtfulness and dedication to this project and are honored to put your sister Jane’s name on this much-needed resource.”
