Mental Health Awareness Month |
|
|
Chances are that you know someone who is struggling with their mental health. People experiencing mental health challenges aren’t broken — they need support and care. And that begins with a conversation.
This month we have an opportunity to break the stigma around mental health by talking openly, compassionately, and kindly to each other. No one should ever struggle alone.
If you want to quickly be connected to a mental health care provider, contact Care Solace, a complimentary and confidential mental health care coordination service provided by Center Joint Unified School District: Call 888-515-0595. Multilingual support is available 24/7/365.

We would like to share some highlights of two recent field trips from the sites in our district:
First, Students from Center High attended Sierra College/ARC Trade Schools. The students had the opportunity to tour the Automotive program, the medical and nutrition program, the Construction and welding program, the Culinary Institute and Robotics program.They look forward to going again next year!
Next up, The Wilson C. Riles Performance Drama class traveled to the Mondavi Performing Arts Center at U.C. Davis on April 19th for a special performance by the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. The renown dance troupe from New York City performed to students from around the Sacramento area, presenting a unique glimpse into African-American culture as told through choreography performed to the music of
blues, jazz, and spirituals. The students had a wonderful time getting to see a professional stage production as a prelude to their own theatrical performance in May. |
