For Hope Week,

Stickers with positive messages promoting wellness and good mental health were available during lunches today. If you didn’t get a sticker, you can pick one up tomorrow before school. Don’t forget tomorrow is a dress down day for $3 that goes toward Ethan’s Purpose, a local organization that works to raise awareness surrounding suicide prevention by offering QPR training to parents and students, group counseling in the schools, and providing scholarships to students who support the cause. In addition to a dress down day, Hope Squad will be hosting “Good Mental Health is for Everyone” trivia during Family Time tomorrow. Hope Squad members please come to the Choral Room during PPT to check in with Mrs. Stanley.”
