Celebrating AAPI Heritage Month in Schools and Beyond AAPI Heritage Month is a time to honor the rich tapestry of Asian American and Pacific Islander cultures. Schools can be a powerful platform for celebration and learning. Here are a few ideas: Embrace Diversity: Highlight the vastness of the AAPI community. Plan activities that showcase the unique traditions, languages, and histories of various Asian and Pacific Islander groups. Spark Curiosity: Feature books by AAPI authors or incorporate folktales from different regions into the curriculum. Organize movie nights featuring AAPI films or invite guest speakers to share their cultural experiences. Create a Safe Space: Discuss the importance of cultural sensitivity and bystander intervention. Encourage open dialogue about the challenges faced by AAPI communities, including recent incidents of racism. Care Solace is Here for You We understand that navigating mental health challenges can be difficult, especially for those feeling isolated or misunderstood. Care Solace is committed to providing culturally sensitive care to everyone in need. Our comprehensive network of providers includes professionals of diverse backgrounds and treatment approaches. If you or someone you know wants to be connected to a mental health care provider, contact Care Solace, a complimentary and confidential mental health care coordination service provided by La Grande School District: Call 888-515-0595.

The Class of 2024 Pathway Completers will be honored at a ceremony tonight at 6:00 in the auditorium. Seniors who completed one or more pathways during their high school career will be recognized during this fun event, the first of many celebrations this month. If your senior completed a pathway, an invitation was sent to their home address. Students and families are encouraged to attend. If your senior has a baseball or softball game today, they can arrive in uniform because we want all completers to attend! The ceremony should last for about an hour. Cupcakes will be available to go after the ceremony!

Mental Health Awareness Month For Mental Health Awareness Month, we have an opportunity to break the stigma around mental health in our campus by talking openly, compassionately, and kindly to each other. No one should ever struggle alone. School staff are the backbone of student well-being, but remember that you also can’t pour from an empty cup. During Mental Health Awareness Month, NAMI joins the mental health community to reaffirm our commitment to building our understanding of mental illness, increasing access to treatment and ensuring those who are struggling know they are not alone. If you or someone you know wants to be connected to a mental health care provider, contact Care Solace, a complimentary and confidential mental health care coordination service provided by La Grande School District: Call 888-515-0595. Multilingual support is available 24/7/365. Visit www.caresolace.com/lagrande and either search on your own OR click “Book Appointment” for assistance by video chat, email, or phone. Don’t hesitate to ask for help, use the resources around you, and never give up hope.
