Character Education Students for April

Integrity is our character education word this month. Integrity is being honest and having strong morals, even when no one is watching. We grow our Eagle Strength as we show integrity and improve ourselves and our communities. 10 students are growing their integrity really well. They are Caison C., McKenzie P., Jon., Hank B., Colin L., Anastasia M., Dane B., Sophia E., Isaiah M., and Zoe D. These students will receive an ice cream social in May to celebrate! Congratulations to our April character education winners!

School Improvement Council (SIC) Mental Health Minute Week 2

The SIC Social-Emotional Committee is providing support for parents/guardians with an evidence-based 5-part video series, adults can use to teach their kids important mental health and coping skills. Over the next 5 weeks, parents/guardians may choose to watch the brief video each week with their children. The video last week addressed the importance of children understanding their feelings. This week’s 4-minute video addresses relaxation skills for when individuals feel anxious.


According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2023), the number of adolescents experiencing poor mental health is increasing. Schools, parents, and guardians can establish protective relationships with students to help them manage life’s daily challenges to protect their mental health.


CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Surveillance Data Summary & Trends Report: 2011-2021 [PDF – 10 MB] highlights concerning trends about the mental health of U.S. high school students.

  • In 2021, more than 4 in 10 (42%) students felt persistently sad or hopeless and nearly one-third (29%) experienced poor mental health.
  • In 2021, more than 1 in 5 (22%) students seriously considered attempting suicide and 1 in 10 (10%) attempted suicide.

The 5-part video series contains age-appropriate curated tools to provide resiliency education. This type of education can be a preventative approach to emphasize mental health and wellness education for all students to prevent poor mental health and suicide among our future high school students. It is our hope that parents/guardians will take 4-5 minutes to watch the new video each week.
