Today Celebrates: Tourism Day!

We see all that green out there in the halls today – thank you for showing your support of Children’s Mental Health Awareness! For kids who struggle with their mental health, talking to someone and getting extra support or help can make a big difference. Check in on your mental health, talk to someone you trust, and ask for help when you need it. Remember, YOUR MENTAL HEALTH MATTERS! Did you know that students who are feeling stressed, sad, or even thinking about suicide are very likely to tell a friend or teacher? If someone shares with you that they are very sad, having a hard time and/or feel like they want to die, the most important thing you can do is take their feelings seriously, listen without judgment, and help them get to a trusted adult for more support. Remember, your mental health matters!

Donation boxes will be available in the cafeteria and the library during this week. Please consider donating any children’s books you no longer need to help make a difference in a young student’s education. Thank you for supporting this important cause!
