 Principal's Note
Students built a tower out of Keva planks during STEAM. They were excited that the tower was almost as tall as Mr. Johnson.
Mental Health Awareness
Since 1949, the month of May has been observed as Mental Health Month in the United States and many national organizations observe mental health awareness. Mental Health Month raises awareness about the importance of mental health and to stop the stigma associated with mental health.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), over 43 million Americans experience mental health problems in any given year. Over 9 million adults in the U.S. have mental illness that is serious enough to interfere with their day-to-day lives, causing them to be unable to work or to function normally.
