HELP SUPPORT SSDM

Do you own or work for a business that wants to support our Springfield community?

SHS’s Steve Stefani Dance Marathon is looking for local business donors to help make our Mini-THON a success! We gladly accept monetary donations, items for raffle baskets (gift cards, merchandise, etc.), and food donations for the day-of event on March 7th.

All donations of (or valued at) $250 or more get their company's name printed on the back of our day-of shirts (worn by 600+ students and faculty) as well as a spot on our Donor Wall seen by students, parents, faculty, and guests day-of!

Every contribution helps us support children battling pediatric cancer. Thank you so much for considering a donation!

 Safe2Say

Students in all grades have received the annual information about using Safe 2 Say Something. 

Safe2Say Something is a youth violence prevention program run by the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General. 

The program teaches youth and adults how to recognize warning signs and signals, especially within social media, from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others and to 

“say something” BEFORE it is too late. 

With Safe2Say Something, it’s easy and confidential to report safety concerns 

to help prevent violence and tragedies.

Here’s how it works:

Submit an anonymous tip report through the Safe2SaySomething system

Crisis center reviews, assesses and processes all submissions

Crisis center sends all submissions to school administration and/or law enforcement  for intervention

If needed, crisis center may contact tipster anonymously through the app

More information can be found at:  www.safe2saypa.org
