Be Respectful, Be Excellent, Be Accepting, Be a Leader

 

This is a B Day.

 

ALL GRADES:

We are keeping it REAL about suicide prevention this week. Today, we are focusing on being Excellent and learning how to ACT when a friend is struggling.

 

Acknowledge: that a friend or classmate has problems and that the symptoms are serious.

 

Care: let the friend know you are there for them, and want to help.

 

Tell:  a trusted adult about their concerns.

 

Don't forget to stop by the information booth today to learn about the ACT message and to get more information on suicide prevention. Remember to wear your Yellow Ribbon Bracelet this week!!
