We want to give a heartfelt shout-out to Ms. Richardson, our incredible District Mental Health Coordinator! 💙
Ms. Richardson goes above and beyond to support the emotional well-being of our students and staff. Her compassion, expertise, and unwavering commitment help create a safe and supportive learning environment across the district.

We are proud to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month by shining a light on the importance of emotional well-being. Today, our students are wearing mood color shirts to represent different feelings and remind each other that it’s okay to not be okay.
Each color tells a story—yellow: happy, blue: calm, green: peaceful, black: stress, red: excited, and purple: creative. The colors open the door to conversations about how we feel and how we can support one another.
Together, we are building a community that values kindness, empathy, and mental wellness. Let's continue to create safe spaces where every student feels seen, heard, and supported.
