Happy September!

September is National Suicide Prevention Month and here at MT we will be focusing on awareness about mental health and self-care. We will be having a door decorating contest with our W.I. N. classes to spread these positive messages through out our school.

The counselors are also planning an activity for later in September.

Please encourage your student to be kind to others. If your student is struggling or they see another student struggling they need to say something so that we can provide support.

We want everyone to be safe and know that they belong here at MT.
