7th/8th Grade Mental Health Awareness Assembly - May 25th
This past year students from Holly High School partnered with the University of Michigan Depression Center Peer to Peer (P2P) Depression Awareness Campaign program. The P2P program uses a youth-driven model where students create, implement, and disseminate a tailored school-wide depression awareness campaign under the direction of school-employed staff and advisement from University of Michigan staff. The Holly High P2P group has already created successful assemblies for our high school students.
These students from Holly High School have recently created a middle school level assembly to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and provide support and resources for mental health. This group will be sharing stories about depression and anxiety as strategies for coping and will share resources for seeking support. The Holly Middle School social worker and counselors will be available after the assembly to support student(s) if needed.
The presentation is targeting all 7th and 8th grade students and will be held on Friday, May 25th. If you have any questions you can email our Social Worker Mrs. Campbell at lena.campbell@hask12.org
There will be a permission slip sent home through email.
Leader in Me Parent Survey
The survey is voluntary (you will not need to provide your name or any other identifying information), but we do hope to get feedback from one member of your household. The survey takes about 12 minutes to complete and will ask you some questions about your child and about our school. If you have more than one child attending our school, you will be asked to think about the oldest child as you answer questions related to their growth.
Mrs. Pinch's Leader in Me class sponsoring "Red Nose Day"
Every year, Walgreens sells Red Noses. All profits from the purchase of a red nose are donated to the red nose fund which helps children in poverty. In the past three years, they have raised over 100 million dollars and helped over eight million children in poverty. There will be red noses for sale at all lunches from May 14th-18th for $1 and donations will be accepted as well. Red nose day is on May 24th. On May 23rd, we would like to get everyone together who has bought a red nose and get a picture during LIM so we can post it on social media. Our school could be on NBC on May 24th when they have their Red Nose Day special!!
