"Join NFPA® in celebrating the 100th anniversary of Fire Prevention Week™ (FPW). This year’s FPW campaign, “Fire won’t wait. Plan your escape”, works to educate everyone about simple but important actions they can take to keep themselves and those around them safe from home fires."
Please take the time to practice your escape routes and check to make sure your smoke alarms are working properly in your homes. Use the link for additional resources:

Joe Beckman is coming to town!
"Our schools are experiencing an unprecedented shift. Student loneliness is at an all-time high, while self worth and belonging are at all-time lows. And the culprit is a lack of human connection." St. Teresa will be joining South Winn for one simple mission; reclaim human connection!
Over the last 15+ years, Joe Beckman has spoken in educational settings all over the world.
Whether it’s a Middle School in Minneapolis, a Professional Development workshop in Montana, or an International Conference in Malaysia…people are craving connection.
"It’s only when we stop and slow down, separate from our screens, and truly listen to each other’s stories, that we can course correct, and give our youth the best chance to leave their mark on this world."
Students in grades K-8 will be hearing his message on Thursday, October 20 and teachers will have the opportunity to hear him speak on October 21 during our professional development day.
