📣 CARE CLUB CATALOG 📣
The wait is finally over! Our CARE CLUB Catalog is officially published. We are thrilled to offer these clubs to students during our Care Period on Thursday mornings.
A special thank you to Dr. Brown-Mitchell and Mrs. Mizak for their work on this catalog and clubs logistics. An additional thank you to all of the staff members who are voluntarily sponsoring these clubs. We cannot wait to get these clubs going, and some of the year-long clubs have already started initial meetings.
We will send out sign-up information and club start dates in a separate email later this week.
Showing ICARE with Bow and Arrow Tag! 😉
We wrapped up our first month of ICARE with a fantastic reward of Bow and Arrow Tag. Over 35 ICARE winners and their identified homeroom buddy were able to enjoy this event last Friday. As a reminder, students receive ICARE lessons every Tuesday and can earn CARE Cards for displaying ICARE behaviors throughout the month. We also reward staff with CARE Cards and monthly prizes. Our winner this month, Mrs. Carney Massey, actually selected to participate in the Bow and Arrow Tag as her reward!
We are thankful for our wonderful partnership with the YMCA and their generous participation and sponsorship of the activity this month. If you or your company would like to partner with Fugett for a student or staff reward one month please reach out to Dr. Werner. We still need sponsors for the months of December, February, and April.
Gettin' Outdoors with 6th Grade Science
It finally stopped raining towards the end of this past week, which enabled Mrs. O'Neill's Science classes the opportunity to get outside. A wonderful hands on learning opportunity at the EHS Outdoor Classroom.

Spanish-Speaking Mental Health Resources
We are thrilled to announce the release of three new valuable resources to enhance mental health support for Spanish-speaking communities:
• Culture, Community, and Connection: 2023 BIPOC Mental Health Toolkit - The BIPOC Mental Health Month campaign and toolkit were designed to provide culturally responsive mental health information to highlight three core pillars of culture, community, and connection and how integral they are to BIPOC communities. The toolkit includes factsheets, worksheets, shareable images, and more that can aid community discussion and guide individuals to helpful resources.
• Selfies, Social, and Screens: Navigating Virtual Spaces for Youth: 2023 Back to School Resources - The Back to School campaign and resources were developed to help increase understanding of how online activity affects the mental health of children and teens. The factsheets, shareable images, and other materials in the toolkit can be used to help manage the challenges of virtual spaces and empower youth to make informed decisions for their mental health and well-being.
• New Mental Health Resources Hub in Spanish: Our Spanish-language resources hub provides a comprehensive collection of mental health materials to assist individuals, families, and others in accessing valuable mental health resources for the Spanish-speaking community.
We invite you to download our campaign materials, explore the resources on our website, and share them within your communities. Together, we can foster mental health awareness and support for all.
