Grief During the Holidays
The holiday season is officially upon us, and it can be extra hard for those who are grieving. It is especially difficult for those observing the holidays for the first time without a loved one. If this includes you, we see you and our hearts are with you. Here are some holiday tips from “Ele’s Place” for navigating the coming weeks. If you need additional support, please reach out to your TDS support staff. Let’s try to survive this grief wave together.

RANDI FOMBONA - Class of 2021
What is your favorite memory from TDS?
My favorite memory from this school was when we had the mental health awareness event.. how everyday we had something different it was so much fun and very alarming with information about mental health.
What advice do you have for current TDS students?
Just keep pushing, it's all worth the graduation.
What are your current plans (if you are just now graduating) What are you doing now (if you graduated previously)?
I was planning on college but haven't accomplished it.. so I was Job hunting while working on getting my California ID.. month later and finally I'm working at Walmart till further notice. Lol
Hey Aztecs if I can graduate, then trust me so can you.
