Nebo School District Provides New Mental Wellness Resource for Parents

As the pandemic’s unseen costs begin to unfold on the mental health front, some wonder how school children will be impacted. Despite the massive challenge we face, there are growing resources to help families who are struggling.

Virtual Family Mental Health Night –Talk to a Therapist
Nebo School District is partnering with The Cook Center for Human Connection to host a free virtual Family Mental Health night on November 3, 2021 at 6:00 PM. Participants will hear from a leading clinical psychologist, be able to ask questions, and learn about free resources available.

Register now by clicking here: https://CookCenter.info/NeboNov3

If you miss this event or can’t make it live, check out https://ParentGuidance.org where you can access on-demand virtual courses, professional support, and a safe community for parents to learn how to support their children and get answers to mental health questions. There are courses on anxiety, depression, self-worth, grief and loss, suicidal ideation and other mental health concerns. All courses are created by therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists and other certified mental health practitioners. There is even a portal where you can “Ask a Therapist” your tough questions, as well as see questions and answers from other parents.

The Cook Center for Human Connection has made these resources available to help increase hope in a time of continuing uncertainty and growing mental health concern. There are good people in your community working to provide solutions and help for those who are struggling. If you or anyone you know is in a mental health emergency, reach out immediately to the suicide prevention lifeline here: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or text HOME to 741741.

Mrs. Harward's class has a reward menu for passing 10 i-ready lessons. Camden chose the reward of teaching the class something he knows that we don't.  He taught us about holograms.  He came dressed for the part complete with a slideshow presentation. We enjoyed looking at small objects in his holographic projector. Thank you Camden Rowley.  We have been well educated. 

To help students with alliteration and writing complete sentences, Miss Dooley’s class wrote their own sentences about an animal and made the animal out of leaves (tying in our learning about seasons). We had a lot of fun coming up with sentences and trying to start the words with the same beginning sound.

Our 4th Graders had so much fun on their field trip to Camp Floyd!

Our students had a blast in P.E. with Jack-o'-Lantern relay races!  

Our Santaquin Elementary Reflections Program and Assembly were a huge success! We hit a new school record of 164 entries, and it was the highest number of entries from any school in Utah this year! We want to congratulate every student who participated. You all did an amazing job and should be very proud of yourselves. If you would like to see all of the entries from our school, make sure to check out our Online Art Gallery here -> bit.ly/2YTl57C

Merit winners do not move on, but definitely deserve recognition for their hard work!   Excellence winner's entries moved on to be re-judged at Council against the winners from participating schools from Spanish Fork to Santaquin.
