Under "normal" circumstances, teenagers often display and express a wide range of emotions and can have a hard time navigating their feelings. In our current Pandemic situation, these feelings and ways of emoting can be exacerbated. The article below offers an interesting and helpful perspective on this, as well as ways that parents and adults in teens' lives can support them during this particularly trying time.

Below is a flyer for our Hope for Heroes project which the BHS S.A.D.D., Student Civic, and Spanish Clubs have organized. This is a quick, thoughtful and great opportunity for your children to take a few minutes to show their appreciation for our local hospital heroes and/or to send their well wishes to patients. Please contact Mrs. Glassman with any questions at sglassman@Bethpage.ws. Thank you in advance for your support of this special initiative; we would love to receive as many cards and letters as possible!
