There are a variety of tasks in this project and we hope to involve as many students as possible with assignments ranging from sandwich making, to making flatware bundles, to packing boxes for delivery. To support this project, we are looking for donations. These donations can be “in kind” or cash. Please see the link to the sign up genius below if you wish to make a donation: https://tinyurl.com/NBTASK2026
In order to organize the event, we ask that all donations be dropped off at the school by Monday, March 30, 2026.

She explains that some are not emotions but experiences that lead to emotions. In the next few Clinical Corners. I hope to expand your emotional vocabulary as I learn along with you. The ability to label our emotions is related to greater emotion regulation and psychosocial well-being. It’s moving away from “What’s wrong with me?” to “Oh, I am feeling _____.” The ability to articulate our emotions leads to deeper connection, with our families, friends, students-everyone. | | Spring sports start next week. Student athletes who have not yet been cleared to participate, are not able to practice or try out until their participation has been approved by the school doctor. While students may still submit the sports participation application and physical, they will not be cleared to participate at the start of the season, this includes tryouts.
