Hey parents! We have noticed a lot of students talking about different apps, games, and videos that are not school appropriate. We know how difficult it can be to keep up with all of our kids' technology use in this day and age. As such, we wanted to take a moment to share some resources and information on this subject. Take a look at the links below!

Today, two of our #ZeroReasonsWhy members, Sam Lowther and Jacob Johnson, went around town to put up some yard signs to help raise awareness and reduce stigma of mental health and suicide prevention efforts.
You might see them near the highway curve, in the main street planters, or even near the rest stop. If you do, pay special attention to the messages our student group wants you to receive.
One of my personal favorites goes along with this month's school focus: HOPE.
"There are #ZeroReasonsWhy you can't have hope!"
