Say Something Week During the week of March 22-26, students will be taking part in Say Something Week. We will be discussing how to recognize warning signs and threats of potential violence and the importance of telling a trusted adult. It can be hard for adults to know how the children in their lives are feeling. Today, many teens and adolescents turn to online channels to express themselves, their thoughts and hopes, and their anxieties and personal feelings. Some even go as far as hinting they want to hurt themselves or someone else. Their friends and peers are the eyes and ears of a school community and may observe these communications but not always understand or know what to do with that information.  Say Something teaches students how to look for the warning signs of someone at risk of hurting themselves or others and how to tell a trusted adult to get help by following three steps: Recognize the signs Act immediately, take it seriously Say something We encourage you to talk to your student about how important it is to Say Something and encourage them to share what they are learning. Not only will this conversation help you to recognize any signs in your own student’s expressions, but it also demonstrates to them that you take this subject seriously and can be one of the trusted adults they turn to if they suspect someone may need help. We know that schools are meant to be safe places. Say Something will help equip our young people to do their part to keep our school community safe. For more information on Say Something, and to help continue the conversation at home, please review this parent brochure.   Common Sense Media Resource for Parents Social Media and Mental Health Tips for Families of Older Kids and Teens HS Girls BB advance in PIAA Congratulations to the Girls Basketball team as they advance to the semi-finals of the PIAA Championships this Tuesday night. CV will play Spring Grove at Bald Eagle Area HS at 6:30 pm. Good luck Colts!
