The students earned a spot at Nationals with the Lead Outside of the Box competition. They were given a challenge yesterday and had to come up with a plan of action and present it today. The challenge was to find ways to help kids reduce stress and anxiety. They came up with Calming Corners. It’s a room where students can be sent to calm down, chill out, relieve stress, etc. it would have 4 corners: blue corner-chill corner with bean bags, soft lighting stress balls, etc; green corner-healing corner for students with stress headaches and stomach aches...it will have aromatherapy diffusers, stress balls, cold compresses, etc; purple corner-shred your feelings corner where students who are frustrated or mad or upset can go and write their feelings down or draw a picture and then shred it so nobody sees it; yellow corner-meditation corner where they can practice meditation and deep breathing/cool down techniques. I thought this was an excellent idea and they did a fantastic job planning all the details! Only 4 students could present, but all six girls planned this out, so they all qualified!

Today the district learned of the possibility of a gun being left on school grounds. Upon investigation it was discovered that there was a rusted handgun located near the creek bed that runs through the middle of our campus. Law enforcement was immediately contacted and a current investigation is underway. At this point we are not aware that any actual threat was made to students or staff as a result of the gun being on campus. The safety of our students and staff is top priority.
