September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month - a time to raise awareness, offer support and show that hope is always within reach. Here is a reminder that we all need to take care of our mental health and look out for one another. Reach out, listen and let those around you know that they’re not alone. Together, we can make a difference!💜
Patrick Henry mentees were reunited with their mentors last week at the Mentor Kickoff Party! These students are looking forward to their weekly visits with their mentors.

Last week, 6th grade math students collaborated with each other to complete the 100 board. They were tasked with finding every number 1-100 in a specific order.

At Patrick Henry, MAP tests will be administered during core classes on September 10th and 11th. We ask that families avoid appointments during the testing days if at all possible. We also encourage a good night’s sleep and a healthy breakfast to ensure students are at their best! Students should come to school with a fully charged chromebook.
