Unity Fri-Yay! Come together as a community of unity and wear green as a symbol to prevent Gun Violence and share your photos in the comments! Gun violence is preventable when you know the signs. “Say Something” upstanders have helped Sandy Hook Promise prevent 7 school shootings and 60+ acts of violence with a weapon.

Social Worker Appreciation! We sure do appreciate Ms. Kerns. She does so much behind the scenes. Thank you for all you do.

Today is the last day to sign up for attending and eating at the Spring Curriculum Night on March 12. Here is the link, if you need it: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScnkrRejMe7XfGjhd0XTPoZ8uU9pfYAosN-zmRBU7eQvwYA7A/viewform

In 4 out of 5 school shootings, at least one other person had knowledge of the attacker’s plan but failed to report it. People who hurt themselves or others often show warning signs before they carry out an act of violence. #SaySomethingWeek #SaySomethingSavesLives #NCPSchools
