September is national suicide prevention month. Did you know that feeling connected to others at school can help protect students' mental health? Even small acts of kindness and connection can make a difference. Today, keep your eyes open because small ducks with suicide prevention ribbons are hidden throughout the hallways! If you find a duck, bring it to Profe Lindsey to receive a prize! Only one duck per person, please! Also, don't forget to wear teal and/or purple tomorrow to show your support for suicide prevention!
