The district has assigned Mr. Sarka to Holling Heights Elementary as the administrative intern for the 2022-23 school year.

While the term “mental health” is one that is not new to most adults; the past two years have brought changes of great impact to society. That said, mental health challenges have risen for all ages, populations, and socioeconomic groups. Mental health needs have resulted in therapists being back logged to the point that appointments often require a long wait.

We have reached a point where we can identify mental health as having reached crises proportions. It is tantamount that we each become aware of what and how our own mental health is driven as well as that of our children who depend upon us. Let us each take particular notice this month of our personal “happiness barometers” so that we can then in turn tune in to that of our children’s.

Let us all take personal stock of “being kind to our minds” and celebrate awareness of mental health this month!

Please take a moment to complete the Youth and Family Needs Survey below. This is a critical step in developing the appropriate and needed youth and family programs in our community. The survey responses help determine what our families truly need in terms of programs and services. The results of this survey will be used to guide the creation, implementation, and funding of programs and services in our community for many years. The survey will remain open until May 15th.
