Important Information:

  • Today is World Down Syndrome Day, it is a global awareness day which has been officially observed by the United Nations since 2012.  The 21st day of March was selected to signify the uniqueness of the triplication of the 21st chromosome which causes Down syndrome.

 

  • Today is also known as the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination. It is a call to action to eliminate all forms of racial discrimination worldwide.

 

  • Reminder that there is an NJHS meeting on Monday, March 25th at 7:20am in the Media Center.

 

 

  • 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.
