September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month —a time to raise awareness of this stigmatized, and often taboo, topic. We use this month to shift public perception, spread hope and share vital information to people affected by suicide. Our goal is ensuring that individuals, friends and families have access to the resources they need to discuss suicide prevention and to seek help.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis, call or text 988 immediately.

If you are uncomfortable talking on the phone, you can chat the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988lifeline.org.

This year 8th Grade STEM got new VEX robotics equipment! The new brains are touchscreen, which will give students a more user-friendly experience and allow them to get real time data for their programs. The VEXcode V5 programming software is more student friendly and students will be able to write more advanced programs using the block coding format.
