IMPORTANT SENIOR INFORMATION!
Parents - Please be on the look-out for information coming to you on Project Elephant. This project is an educational opportunity for your child and is meant to address rising rates of suicide across the nation. The initial step of this project includes a documentary called "Not Alone." The film is available on Netflix if you want to preview it before your child participates in the viewing. Project Elephant begins on Tuesday, so if you would like to opt out from your child viewing the documentary, please contact your school's Guidance Counselor by Monday.
