The students at Allen East were excited to receive a grant on Thursday that will allow their school to buy yoga equipment for a new mental health initiative. Two sets of yoga equipment will be bought, one for general school use and one for sports teams. Athletes are even anticipating gaining the mental strength that doing yoga builds. As schools start to place more and more importance on students' mental health, Activate Allen County along with Mercy Health and other organizations wanted to give a head start to those initiatives with the Activated School Challenge.
