| Snacks for the children of FW Gross Elementary |
 Starting in September, we hope to begin providing snacks for the children of FW Gross Elementary that are unable to bring them to school. This will be a year-long project - snacks are always welcome! For many of these students, the majority of their daily nourishment is received at school. While free breakfast and lunch are provided by the school district, snacks are not. Many of the teachers purchase snacks to keep in their classrooms for the students that cannot bring them. We want to reduce this expense for our teachers and help them to provide snacks for their kiddos. Snacks must be individually wrapped for easy distribution. Some ideas are goldfish, pretzels, cheese crackers, fruit snacks, chex mix, animal crackers and vanilla wafers. Please note that FW Gross Elementary is a PEANUT FREE CAMPUS!!!! Donations can be dropped off in the Welcome Center at any time. If you would like to make a cash donation so that we can purchase snacks, please note FWG Snacks in the memo line! Thank you for supporting our FW Gross family!

Mental Health First Aid
|
 You may know CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. You can call 911, but can you administer first aid in a mental health crisis?
It's easy to tell when someone is having a heart attack, is choking, or can't breathe. But what does depression look like? Or anxiety? What would you say to help someone who says they are thinking about suicide? How can you help in a panic attack?
Mental Health First Aid is an 8-hour training course that teaches you how to help someone who is developing a mental health problem or experiencing a mental crisis. People all across the country - in all 50 States and the District of Columbia are trained in Mental Health First Aid. They know how to identify, understand, and respond to signs of mental illness and addictions.
This course is delivered by certified Mental Health First Aid USA Instructors.
