Today, we are all wearing the color green for Mental Health Awareness Month!
Help break the stigma and prioritize your mental wellness. Supporting each other through listening, self care practices, or seeking professional help is always helpful while we work on our mental health.
Spirit of the Hawk
Mrs. Gillespie awarded Francois F. a Spirit of the Hawk today for his Perseverance in handling an issue with testing at West Chester University. A misunderstanding put him in a place where he was being required to do five hours of additional work on something that was very familiar to him. Francois sent an email over the weekend asking for guidance, acknowledged the plan offered, and then took the lead on contacting West Chester (which involved multiple phone calls to multiple people) to resolve the issue.
Middle School Spirit Week

Art Installation
Last month the art department had the pleasure of hosting visiting artist Mrs. Amy Kelly. For about three weeks Mrs. Kelly worked with the 8th through 12th grade students who painted self portraits on 2 x 4’s. Once completed, the planks were merged together like a fence and installed at the bottom of the driveway on the fence of the basketball court. The students and Mrs. Kelly enjoyed working together and the finished project is amazing! Ms. Scott and Mrs. Seyfried thanked Mrs. Kelly and the students for creating such a great piece of work for the school to enjoy.
