DAYS OF SIGNIFICANCE
Mental Health Week continues! Did you know that 60% of people with a mental health problem won’t seek help for fear of being labelled. Open and honest conversations with people about how you are feeling can help! Remember that we have a school social worker and school nurse here at E.L. Crossley.
Q&A takes today to acknowledge Louise Lawrence, an American activist, artist, writer, lecturer and early founder of Transvestia magazine. Lawrence was born in 1912 and married twice over the course of her transition. Louise Lawrence worked closely with Dr. Albert Kinsey, spreading awareness of transgender perspectives and curating a plethora of research on transness throughout the United States until her death in 1976.

Do you have a summer job? Will you get approximately 35 hours a week during the month of July? Why not sign up for 2 summer Co-op credits? Not only does this get you two more credits, it may benefit you for an SHSM. Make an appointment with Guidance to discuss a summer Co-op further.
