Our goals for this program are to:
1. Raise awareness about the current mental health crisis and share valuable information
2. Give people a comfortable place they can talk about their struggles
3. Work toward preventing youth suicide
4. Spread kindness
Today we put crisis text line papers up in all of the bathrooms in the middle and high school ends, along with suicide prevention lifeline number cards. These are numbers an individual can text or call when they are struggling and need somebody to talk to.
There are #ZeroReasonsWhy you can't talk about mental health.
There are #ZeroReasonsWhy you can't reach out for help.

Hello K-12 families!
We've started a new month which means we're learning about another new topic in our social-emotional curriculum: Service!
We are defining service as "lending a hand to help someone else". What a perfect topic for the month of December when the holidays are upon us and there's lots of needs and help to go around!
Take a look at the attached photos to see more specifics about what we're learning in school and how you can further these discussions with your children at home!
Congratulations to our November students of "contentment" Deciding to be ok with what you have!
