Our wise mascot Ollie the Owl reminds us that every voice has value. We received so many meaningful entries in this year’s Teen Mental Health PSA Contest, and each one carries an important message. Throughout May, we’ll be sharing these student-created PSAs to raise awareness and encourage healthy conversations. Thank you to all the students who bravely shared their thoughts to support others. Take a moment to listen—you never know who might need that message.

Congratulations to Mrs. Brown’s 7th grade class and Mr. Schwartz's 8th grade class at Milford Grade School for successfully completing the Too Good for Drugs curriculum!
