September is National Suicide Prevention Month
September is National Suicide Prevention Month—a time to raise awareness, foster connection, and share life-saving resources. Everyone can play a role in supporting a child, friend or loved one in need. Learn how you can help by reviewing these 5 Action Steps for Suicide Prevention.
If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available 24/7. Call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org to reach the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline for free, confidential support.
Early Releases
There are a number of early releases scheduled throughout the year. Our dismissal time is 2:05. Busses will be running their regular routes, just an hour and a half earlier than normal times. Please call the office if you have any questions!
You're Invited to Pancake Breakfast!
Every Wednesday morning we have volunteers in our building to cook bacon and pancakes for our students, staff, and families! Please join us from 8:30 to 9:00 in the Commons for breakfast - we'd love to see you there. If you're interested in being part of the volunteer crew, please talk to Ingrid while you're here - she heads up the volunteer list, and be sure you've done your background check for the district. If you have any questions, please contact the office.

Did you know...
- The Ultimate Second Chance: In most ancient myths, the Phoenix lives for hundreds of years before being consumed by fire. Crucially, it is reborn from the ashes of the old bird, stronger and more vibrant than before. It is the perfect symbol for leaving the past behind and embracing a powerful new beginning.
