PRISM is a Loss and Coping Group that was initially developed for MG students in who have experienced the death of a loved one. This club has been a mainstay of support for nearly 20 years.
Since the 24-25 school year, we have established a partnership with providers at The Community Hospice, through their Wave Riders program.
This after school program which meets weekly in the spring, is open to all students K-6th.
If you are interested in having your child participate, please complete the following form.
We also have other supports available if you are in need. Please reach out to Mrs. Adair.
