Quotes
“Loving yourself doesn’t make you selfish. When done correctly, the exact opposite occurs, because you know that selfish behaviors are negative for your mind, body and spirit.” – Donald L. Hicks
“Until you value yourself, you won’t value your time. Until you value your time, you will not do anything with it.”— M. Scott Peck
“The holiday season is a perfect time to reflect on our blessings and seek out ways to make life better for those around us.” –Anonymous
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.” –Oprah Winfrey

The Student Assistance Program Can Be a Big Help!
What is SAP?
In Pennsylvania, every school must have a Student Assistance Program (SAP). A SAP team is made up of trained professionals like administrators, school counselors, social workers, nurses and teachers, along with a SAP Counselor from an outside agency. The SAP team is here to help identify issues that may be interfering with students being successful in school.
How to Refer a Student to SAP:
If you are concerned for your student and want to see if the Student Assistance Program Team can help, please contact your student's school administrator or school counselor.
