General Announcements:

Hey Warriors – Let’s start the talk. Join us this evening from 7:00-8:00 p.m. in the AHS Theater, where we will start to address the questions you have about suicide. A panel of professionals will be available to answer your anonymous questions. Bring your questions with you or submit them in advance in any of the boxes now in the cafeteria and library. This will be a dynamic discussion, which you won’t want to miss. Together we can start the talk and keep it going. You don’t need to have questions to attend; merely an investment in your fellow warriors, the community, and yourself. See you there!!
