Behind the Scenes at the LWSD Wellness Fair 🌿 As we prepare for Saturday’s Wellness Fair, we wanted to share a little glimpse into the intentionality happening behind the scenes. This table may look like a collage of beautiful images—but it’s so much more than that. These are the visuals that will line the walls of our event space, each one chosen to reflect the diverse and expansive definition of wellness. From mindfulness to gratitude, pet adoption to plant care, community, movement, and rest—every image is a quiet invitation to reflect, reconnect, and recharge. Each sign is a nudge toward something healing, joyful, or just simply human. Wellness isn’t one-size-fits-all. And that’s the beauty of this fair—it celebrates the full spectrum of what it means to be well. We can’t wait to welcome our staff, community, and partners this Saturday for a day of restoration, reflection, and radical self-care. Richard R. Patterson, Ph.D. Michael Clark Shannon Parthemer, APR Ava Van Snow Lake Washington School District Kraig Michels Zakiya N. Cita Matt G.
