School Safety Guidelines
Dear Parents and Guardians,
My name is David Medina, and I am honored to serve as the Security Officer for our school
community. My role is to help ensure the safety and well-being of all students, staff, and visitors on
campus.
I bring over 15 years of security and personal protection experience, along with more than 30
years of service at a roller-skating rink and time spent as an assistant boxing coach for a local
youth program. These experiences have strengthened my commitment to safety, discipline, and
positive community involvement.

We are playing Self-Control Bingo at our campus. Self-Control chooses virtue in every action. At the end of the week, every student who demonstrates self-control in their actions and gets 5 self-control marks in a row, receives a Kindness (sugar free) Ice Pop :)

Are we raising resilient, capable kids—or fragile, anxious ones? In this eye-opening episode, Keith McCurdy joins BaseCamp Live to expose the cultural shifts that have led to skyrocketing anxiety and emotional fragility in children. He explains why modern parenting has drifted from raising kids of character to chasing happiness and success, and how this shift has deeply impacted our families, schools, and society.
But there’s good news: we can course-correct. Keith outlines four critical parenting strategies to cultivate sturdy kids—children who embrace responsibility, struggle well, and grow into mature, self-regulated adults. If you’re ready for practical, countercultural wisdom that will transform your family for the better, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
Keith McCurdy has worked with families, children, parents, and individuals for over 30 years in the field of mental health, working with more than 15,000 individuals and families. He received his Master of Arts and Education Specialist degrees from James Madison University. He is currently the President and CEO of Total Life Counseling, Inc., and is licensed in the state of Virginia as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
