The North Brunswick Elementary School Counseling Wellness Fair intended to educate students about the importance of emotional and mental wellness.

Students were able to make their own fidget toys, create emojis of their feelings, do mindful coloring, read books about emotional wellness, and use tools to help them breathe deeply.

More than 700 people visited North Brunswick Township High School on May 11.

The event was sponsored by the North Brunswick Township Education Association.
