The recent loss of a 16 year old in our community has been weighing heavily on me. As a mother of two teenagers, I keep thinking about the things our children may be carrying that we cannot always see. My heart is with this child’s family and everyone grieving this loss.

We have to make it safe for our young people to say, “I’m not okay,” without dismissing their feelings or comparing their struggles to what we faced growing up. Being young does not make their pain any less real.

This is why I believe mental health education belongs in our school curriculum. Children need age-appropriate lessons that help them understand their emotions and develop healthy ways to cope. They need to know when and how to seek help, with access to trained counselors who can support them beyond the classroom.

If you are struggling or worried about someone, call or text 988, the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline. Free, confidential support is available 24 hours a day. You do not have to be suicidal to reach out.

To any young person reading this: you do not have to explain everything perfectly to deserve help. “I need someone to talk to” is enough to begin. As adults, we have a responsibility to take those words seriously. 💚💛

We’re getting closer to putting up the greenhouse at Pearl B. Larsen School and we’re asking our community to help us finish the work!

This project will give our students a place to discover how much they can accomplish with their own hands.

The image is an AI-generated concept of what we hope the space can become. To bring it to life, we need help with:

⭐️ Framing a 10-foot extension to the existing platform.
⭐️ Completing minor plumbing and electrical work, including an outdoor wash station.
⭐️ Assembling and erecting the greenhouse. We have the instructions available.
⭐️ Building planter boxes, picnic benches, and a pergola.

You can volunteer your skills, donate materials, contribute toward material costs or sponsor a portion of the work.

If you or your business would like to help, please reach out to me. Sharing this message can also connect us with someone who can lend a hand.

Every contribution brings us closer to giving our students a space they can learn in and be proud to care for. Thank you for helping us make this possible. 💚💛
