Daily Announcements

Thursday, February 1st, 2024

Important Information:

  • National Optimist Day

 

  • “February 1st is National Freedom Day. This day commemorates the signing of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery in 1865.”

 

  • February is dedicated as Black History Month, honoring the triumphs and struggles of African Americans throughout U.S. history. Black History Month was created to focus attention on the contributions of African Americans to the United States. It honors all Black people from all periods of U.S. history, from the enslaved people first brought over from Africa in the early 17th century to African Americans living in the United States today.

 

  • Current NJHS members there is a meeting in the Media Center on Monday, February 5th at 7:20am. For those that have applied to NJHS you will hear back from us by Wednesday, February 7th with further instructions.

 

  • Hey everyone, we want to take a minute to talk about something super important. Everyone struggles, even if it doesn’t seem like it. It’s OK to not be OK. Here at Kinard and in PSD, we care about ourselves and each other. We all belong here, and you are never alone. If it just feels like too much and you don’t know what to do, remember:
    • If you need support in school now, connect with a trusted adult or a counselor. Counselors will connect you to help.
    • If someone you know needs help, ask how they’re doing, listen to them, and connect them to a trusted adult or a counselor. If you’re not in school, talk to a family member or call or text 988.
    • As we mentioned, we have incredible counselors, Ms. Irvine and Mrs. Young to talk to, and we have a student wellness room that students can access.
    • Again, it’s OK not to be OK. There are resources and people available to help. You are never alone, there is always hope.
