See Something, Say Something!
SAY SOMETHING
The Say Something program empowers students to be Upstanders and say something to a Trusted Adult when they recognize warning signs and threats as well as offers ways students can grow a community of Upstanders.
The program is designed around three goals that are accomplished using the program's framework and reinforced through the program cycle.
Goals
The three goals of the Say Something program are to teach students how to:
recognize warning signs and threats of someone who may be at-risk of hurting themselves or others.
say something to a Trusted Adult to get help.
grow a community of Upstanders who look out for one another.
Program Framework
The goals are accomplished using our three-step program framework:
Recognize Warning Signs and Threats: learn what warning signs and threats are and where they are likely to be found.
Act Immediately; Take it Seriously: learn why it's important to take action immediately when warning signs and threats are observed.
Say Something: learn when to tell a trusted adult when warning signs and threats are observed.

Dear Parents,
St. Ann’s Catholic Parish is once again sponsoring Thanksgiving basket deliveries and now offers a pickup option. This program provides families who may be having a hard time this Thanksgiving with a complete Thanksgiving dinner for the entire family. The baskets will be delivered to your home the weekend before Thanksgiving so it is critically important that an adult representing the family be at the home between the hours of 1:00 PM and 3:00PM on Sunday November 20th, 2022. You may also go to St. Ann's Parish in Coppell to pick up the turkey on November 20th, from 1:00-3:00 pm. The deadline to sign up for a basket is October 21st, 2022.
Please completely fill out the form by clicking on the link below with all information requested. If you have any questions or require a paper application, please reach out to your student's counselor.
