Hiya Graces the Cover of Scholastic Action Magazine

ICYMI, our founder and CEO Alejandra Wells was selected as Scholastic Action Magazine’s February cover girl. Scholastic Action Magazine inspires readers in grades 6 to 12 with uplifting stories.

"Receiving national recognition means that Hiya's impact is truly being seen. It's helping people, from its background and bracelets to its advocacy, and I can't wait to see it help even more,” Wells said.

 

 

Because of her courage and commitment to mental health awareness, Scholastic Action Magazine asked her to share her insights and Hiya’s mission with its readers.

“I was completely shocked when I found out,” said Alejandra. “My mom told me after I came home from a game, and I couldn’t believe it. I’ve always loved Scholastic, their books, and their magazines—so being selected to be featured in one is mind-blowing.”

Students can read this story and more by subscribing to Scholastic Action Magazine. They should also check with their school to see if it subscribes.
