Good morning Cyclones! Today is the 4th day of Mental Health Awareness Week.
Today’s action is “treat mental health issues like any other health issue”. We all have mental health, just like we all have physical health. According to a recent report from Statistics Canada, youth have been at higher risk of experiencing poor mental health (compared to other age groups) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Treating mental health issues just like you would treat someone with a broken arm helps reduce the stigma so that more people feel comfortable asking for help. It is important to know that people with mental health issues can and do recover.
If you think that you or a friend might be having a mental health issue, please reach out to your teacher, guidance counsellor, or principal. They’re here to listen.
Talk, walk and you guessed it… CHALK for mental health! Classrooms are encouraged to write positive messages using chalk on the front sidewalk. Teachers, if you’ve signed your class for a time slot today, you can pick up and drop off the chalk at the front office. Let’s keep the momentum going for Mental Health Awareness Week!

Reminder to all track & field athletes that they must check the PE board for the events they will be competing in next week. There is a mandatory practice this friday. You cannot leave it to the day before a meet to practice skilled events.
