As we close out Mental Health Awareness Month, hear from Liguori Academy’s Postsecondary and Student Success Manager on managing stress, navigating anxiety, and why prioritizing mental well-being matters every day. 💚

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. 💚

Hear from Liguori Academy's School Social Worker, Ms. Daisy, on seeking support, asking for help, and the importance of mental health awareness.

Last week, Liguori Academy hosted an inspiring Super Liguori Day focused on entrepreneurship, leadership, and perseverance!

Students had the opportunity to hear from Lenin Agudo of Widener University Small Business Development Center, who shared valuable insights on entrepreneurship and the essential steps to starting a business. Following the presentation, students collaborated in teams to develop innovative business pitches with guidance from Kevin Tacchino and Dave Patti of Customers Bank.
After lunch, students welcomed Jay Sidhu, Executive Chair of
Customers Bank, author, and global speaker, who spoke about his journey to success in America and encouraged students to pursue their goals with determination and resilience.

To conclude the day, each student received a signed copy of Jay Sidhu’s book, Never Ever, Ever Give Up.

Thank you to Customers Bank, Widener SBDC, and Jay Sidhu for investing your time, wisdom, and encouragement in our students. It was a truly motivational and memorable day for everyone involved!
