Principal's Message
1) Let it Go - Never ruin a good day by thinking about a bad yesterday
2) Be Yourself - What others think of you is none of your business
3) Give it Time - Time heals everything
4) Don't Compare - You have no idea what their journey is all about
5) Stop Over Thinking - The answers come to you when you least expect it
6) It's on You - No one is in charge of your happiness, except you
7) Smile - You don't own all the problems in the world
I hope that everyone gets the opportunity relax and enjoy some family time next week. Personally, I'll be enjoying family, turkey, football, hockey, and a daily nap. 😁
Enjoy your weekend.

Treats for Troops from the Grizzell Gives Back Club
The Grizzell Gives Back Club filled and shipped 15 boxes of leftover Halloween candy to Treats for Troops. Students at Grizzell donated $220 which allowed us to ship 11 boxes of candy to Soldiers' Angels, the organization that distributes the candy to veterans and deployed military. Thank you Grizzell PTO for covering the shipping for the remaining 4 boxes!
ONE DUBLIN is the new name for Welcome Warehouse!

Crafting for a Cause
Dear Dublin parents, my name is Meryl LaRue and I am a senior at Dublin Jerome high school. I am leading a project called Crafting for a Cause that is now open for business! We are selling crafts such as earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and crocheted bags to benefit the Ohio Wildlife Center. Proceeds will go to rehabilitating sick and injured wildlife. This is the perfect opportunity to buy gifts for friends and family while supporting a great cause! We appreciate your support, thank you!

Dublin City Schools takes pride in providing a holistic education to our students, thus mental health and wellness instruction is an important part of our student’s educational experience. Mental health and wellness topics, including depression awareness and suicide prevention, take place during Health class.
