BOONSBORO HIGH SCHOOL
Dear Boonsboro High Families:
In observance of National Suicide Prevention Awareness month, Boonsboro High will be hosting a presentation for students, as well as one for parents and families, which will promote resources and awareness around issues of mental health, recognizing the warning signs, and how you can help others or get help yourself.
Mental health conditions can affect anyone regardless of age, gender or background. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people and is often the result of mental health conditions. Suicidal thoughts and suicide occur too frequently but should not be considered common and can indicate more serious issues.
The student presentation will take place on Friday, September 23, 2016 in our auditorium and will involve a 50 minutes presentation to each grade level, separately. Many trained professionals will be on staff to closely monitor student reactions and respond if needed.
If you do not wish your child to attend this presentation, please contact your child’s guidance counselor at 301-766-8022.
A similar presentation will be available for parents and families to attend on Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. in the BHS auditorium.

FOOTBALL FOOTBALL FOOTBALL!!
However, we need to talk . . .
All elementary and middle school-aged children MUST be accompanied to the game by an adult (not including high school-aged siblings). Additionally, your pre-high school children must be accompanied and supervised while in the stadium area. We have already experienced significant challenges in this regard this year.
No spectators should be beneath the grandstands or playing ball/games on the hill. Climbing fences or the sides of the grandstands is not permitted.
We thank you in advance for helping us to make the game enjoyable and safe for everyone!
Parents/Guardians: Your help is needed!
