A lot of people care about [this show],” Morneault said. “I have a lot of friends on the cast and on the crew, but I’ve also grown and gained friendships through the show, even as director where I may be a little more stricter than normal. And I am very grateful for everyone I’ve gotten to work with.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/DSC_0657-1200x800.jpg)

Kato’s painting is a political piece inspired by a photo of elementary schoolers in the street protesting against ICE. “I think it's also symbolic because they're surrounded by snow, which can represent ICE, and they are still marching,” Kato said. “[The kids] are not stopping until equality or justice is served, which I think is really important to represent and show.” Photo by John Pinion](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Screenshot-2026-03-26-114740.png)

Amare Outreach Visits CP
LHS senior Jared Bouloy, co founder of the Amare Outreach program, visits nearby schools to talk to students about mental health.
March 28, 2017
During Den on Mar. 23, Leander High School’s Amare Outreach Program visited CP. Amare Outreach is a nonprofit organization founded by students Dana Pierce and Jared Bouloy last year. Amare Outreach was created to aid those who have been, or are currently struggling with a mental illness, eating disorder or abusive situations. With faculty sponsors and students from the Board of Directors, Pierce and Bouloy travel to nearby high schools to share personal stories and to urge their peers to get help for any issues they may be dealing with.
“The mission of Amare Outreach is to be advocates for survivors of abuse and mental illnesses,” Bouloy said. “We want everyone to know that you can find support and comfort with this group. If you cannot find support within the walls of your own home, our organization and the school counselors are here to protect and guide you.”
Two students from Leander shared their personal stories of depression, bulimia and self harm, then how they were able to overcome them. The speakers emphasized the importance of finding help, whether it be confiding in a friend, parent, relative, teacher or school counselor.
“Depression is an illness that needs to be treated, just like breast cancer or breaking your leg,” LHS senior Anna Gallagher said. “Just because mental illnesses cannot physically be seen, that does not mean that they aren’t there.”
Amare Outreach has created an online website dedicated to sharing their mission. The website also includes a forum, where students can anonymously ask questions that will be answered by counselors or the Board of Directors.
“I am full of holes, and I am sometimes weak, but I am now standing on my feet,” Pierce said. “I got the help that I needed, and now I am able to share my story before you all today.”
Christina Hollander, one of the guidance counselors at CP, has introduced “Coloring with Counselors” to the campus. On Wednesdays during Den, students can sit in the counselor’s office and destress by coloring, listening to music, talking and eating snacks.
“We understand that AP classes and school can be very stressful,” Hollander said. “It’s very important that you manage your stress and take care of yourself so that you can stay happy and healthy. All students are welcome to come talk to us (the counselors), and we are always more than happy to help you.”

Hi, you can visit the AP office to find more information about starting a club. There are forms to fill out, and every club must have a teacher sponsor.

How can I start A club at CP like or even apart of Amare for students at CP? The clubs purpose would be so students could gain access to information on mental health as a community. I was at the Amare presentation April 16th and I noticed the meeting had low attendance, I believe this is so because not a lot of faculty put the word out. I heard about it from Mr. Lippy and the primary group of folks who attended were pals or apart of Honor Societies. I think students either already had enough on there plate this semester or frankly didn’t know too much about it. But if this school really wants to reach out to students on their mental health I believe it would be really cool to lead a club or start one on campus here so that maybe we could make a difference for someone.
