Month: November 2024

We held our second Movember campaign to raise awareness of the biggest health issues facing men today: Mental Health & Suicide Prevention, Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, Heart Disease and Diabetes

It was a collaborative effort to support our fathers, brothers, uncles, sons, and friends!

• Male staff members were encouraged to grow a mustache or beard and hopefully start a conversation about men’s health. Thanks to over 20 men who joined our challenge!
• Blood Pressure Screenings were offered to staff.
• Everyone was encouraged to get moving each day to stay mentally healthy and to reduce the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
• Art teachers included mustaches in their lessons to start a conversation about the importance of healthy living.
• Counselors ran mustache muse contests each week.
• Blue ribbons were sold to benefit the Movember Foundation.

Thanks so much to everyone who supported Movember!

Our partnership with PAWS IN HAND is still going strong after 12 years! Learning on both ends of the leash is a simple philosophy that has brought joy to many students and rescued dogs over the years. Whether students are very comfortable with dogs already or they are unsure about how to approach them, attending a PAWS session is a meaningful experience. We are so grateful to the dedicated volunteers for their commitment to this important mission.
