We will miss you Mrs. Moffett!
Congratulations to Mrs. Moffett on her upcoming retirement! She has been an amazing school counselor for the Duneland School Corporation for the past 27 years. She has touched countless lives and we are all better for having known her! If you get a chance, please reach out with a message of congratulations!
Mental Health Awareness Month
May is National Mental Health Month and it is designed to bring awareness and help break the stigma of mental health disorders. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with mental health concerns, please talk with a trusted adult. You are always welcome to come and talk with your school counselor. Here are some resources if you would like to learn about National Mental Health Month, Youth Mental Health, or other issues pertaining to adolescent health.
