September is ending but we will continue, we all must continue.

September is su***de prevention awareness month. Su***de continues to be the second leading cause of death in teens and young adult 15 to 24. The topic can be difficult for many of us to think about, but studies show being direct and asking a child if they are feeling depressed or thinking about su***de is very successful. Being direct lets a child know that someone cares.

To start the month I’d like to highlight the past work of my students. The concepts, photographs, and words were all chosen by by them and I think if you want the message to reach kids, let kids create the message.

Thank you to everyone supporting our efforts. This was year 3 awarding scholarships to graduating seniors. Their fascinating stories showed just how powerful 1 person can be.

It’s always difficult to review the entries. We never thought we’d be here, but we are committed to growing and continuing…and if you’re struggling you can too, the world is better with you here.

Tucker Sanders received the Red Lion Track and Field Scholarship in Memory of J. Carson Capik Scholarship. This scholarship was created in memory of J. Carson Capik who was a 4-year member of the track and field team and died unexpectedly in February 2023. This scholarship will be awarded to one member of the boys' team and one member of the girls' team to use at any trade school, 2-year, or 4-year college. The students receiving these scholarships must have competed on the track and field team for at least 2 years and demonstrate leadership, empathy, and sportsmanship. Recipients are also charged with being mindful of the battle others are fighting; to reach out, listen, and be there for them; and that a little concern goes a long way.
