Good morning Cyclones!!
A huge thanks of appreciation goes out to the Crossley Lacrosse team. You cleaned up the garbage yesterday without even being asked to.   Kristy and Pauline, our caretakers are so grateful and we are all so proud of the pride that you took in your school.  Thank you again.
Today is the 5th day of Mental Health Awareness Week. So far we’ve seen the enthusiasm and efforts that have taken place throughout the school, all in the name of mental health and ending the stigma around mental illness. Today’s action is “to think about a goal or plan on how to continue taking care of your mental health”. Write your goal down and consider sharing it with someone who can support you.Together, the students at EL Crossley can help create positive change in our community. Because when it comes to mental health, it’s important to support ourselves and each other.
Remember that if you need someone to talk to, our teachers, counsellors, social worker, school nurse and principals are here to listen.
Thank you to everyone for participating in this week’s Mental Health Awareness activities – Continue the momentum for supporting Mental Health! If you’re interested in being a part of Crossley’s wellness club you can speak to Carleen, Nurse Dana, Ms. Kiley or Mrs. Hutchinson!
