Class of 2020 Fundraiser

Help us raise funds by cleaning out your closet! The Class of 2020 will be collecting soft good items for the Epilepsy Foundation. Monday, November 4 through Monday, December 9 we will be collecting soft good items such as: clothing, shoes, stuffed animals, fabric, linens, etc. There will be collection bins placed in Lunenburg Middle High School, Turkey Hill Elementary School, Lunenburg Primary School and TC Passios School. Fill a bag and make a difference!

Social & Emotional Health

We have recognized that there is increased pressure and stress on our students in recent years. This stress can manifest itself in many different ways. Most times, the stress that we all deal with is normal and manageable. However, there are also many individuals who are dealing with more than just typical stress and pressure. Often times, those students are dealing with anxiety, depression, or another form of mental illness. We want to help to bring awareness to mental health concerns, let students know that there is help available if they need it, and work to debunk the stigma often associated with mental illness. If a student or any Lunenburg resident is struggling we have a resource in Lunenburg called Interface Referral Service for mental health referrals. The helpline number is 1-888-244-6843.
