Monday, October 2nd, 2023 - Day 1

SRC meeting at 12:15 p.m. today. Junior soccer game today after school. Come out and cheer on the Lancers! Cross country practice tomorrow at 7:45 a.m. This week is Mental Illness Awareness week in Canada. Mental illness is conditions that involve changes in emotions, thinking and behavior. Did you know that 1 in 5 Canadians experience mental illness. Mental Illness is not something to be feared or looked down upon and in honor of mental illness week, each day this week we will talk about a different way to include self-care into our day. Connection - It is ok not to be ok. We have so many people around us at home, in this school and in the community who love and care about us. One way to promote self-care is talking to someone you trust about how you are feeling. They may not be able to make the problem go away but it is easier to face it with someone than alone.
