Today is World Mental Health Day. Today was created to improve knowledge, raise awareness and create change that supports wellness and connection. If you or anyone you know needs to talk - reach out to our school mental health professionals: Mrs. Roy, Mrs. Weeks, Ms. Wood, Miss. Caitlin, Dr. Gleeson, Ms. DeBlois or Nurse Jenn. --“What Mental Health Needs is more sunlight, more honesty, and more unashamed conversation.”
This is a message from the library. The deadline to submit library assistant applications is TODAY, by the close of the school day.
