As we kick off the second semester, we wanted to take this month as a chance to reflect on making it half way through a very challenging year. We hope that as you are starting what for some of you will be your last semester of high school, you take a moment to be kind to yourself and reflect on the many difficult things you've accomplished this year. Closing out the first semester is no small accomplishment, and it is definitely something to be proud of. As a reminder, The best way to contact Mrs. Cignarella or Dr. Pinho is via email.
In recognition of the half way point, we are using this month as a chance to remind you all of some resources you can consider for supporting your own mental health or the mental health of those you care for. Many of these were featured in our September site. Stay well, and be kind to yourself and one another.
