Box Tops for Education

Luther Jackson is collecting Box Tops for
Education! Every one of those little pink squares you find on packaging
around the grocery store earns 10 cents for our school. Please check the
expiration date, clip them, and have your student bring them to the front
office. The PTA will do the counting and redeeming for us all!
The money goes directly to our school. Thanks for your help! |

Mental Health and Wellness Conference, which will be
held at Fairfax High School from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 29th. In addition to the conference keynote message, Using Stress to
Your Advantage in Achieving Academic Success and Emotional Well Being,
presented by Dr. Amy Przeworski, Associate Professor in the Department of
Psychological Sciences at Case Western Reserve University, participants in the
conference will be able to choose from 35 breakout options (many of these will
offered more than once). We are especially excited that, for the first
time, this year’s conference will include an Our Minds Matter Teen Summit,
sponsored by the Josh Anderson Foundation. Students who register for this
summit will attend sessions designed especially for them, including one session
led by Dr. Przeworski. Along with the many wonderful breakout options
offered throughout the day, there will be more than 50 resource tables
available, representing public and private agencies that provide
wellness-related services within our schools and in our community.
