MIND. BODY. CORDECHO 7 SHA’S BE-YOU-TIFUL CLUB Shines with Student Leadership With the help of art teacher Lisa Bonn, Savannah Revelas ’19 founded the Be-You-tiful Club at Buffalo Academy of the Sacred Heart in 2018, after losing a family friend to teen suicide. That traumatic event brought to the surface the many things teens struggle with, and the healing that is possible through community and connection. Today, the club continues to have a positive impact on our school culture. Since its inception, Be-You-tiful has grown steadily and remains a valued part of SHA’s extracurricular offerings. In the 2024-25 school year, it was led by Molly Fulco ’25, who is deeply committed to continuing its mission of mental health awareness and support. “The purpose of the club is to spread awareness throughout the school and to create a safe space where girls can relax and speak their minds,” Molly shared. “Mental health is an ongoing issue, especially for teens, and it’s so important that we keep Sacred Heart a safe space for everyone.” The club balances school-wide projects—like the “Breathe In, Breathe Out” bulletin board, Christmas mental health posters, and a green ribbon sale—with member-focused activities like creating vision boards for self-care and reflection. “The best part is connecting with people I might not normally talk to—and sharing something I’m passionate about,” Molly added. The Be-You-tiful Club reminds every student: You are never alone - and always enough. Molly Fulco, second from left, sits with other members of the Be-You-tiful Club during an after school meeting.
