🎺🎭 The Young Family Foundation provides outstanding support for the arts in our schools! Today, we're thrilled to announce that the Middle School Band is the proud recipient of a brand new tuba, ensuring our young musicians have the best tools to develop their talents. Meanwhile, the Middle School Theater department will take center stage with new microphone headsets, enhancing their performances and bringing their productions to life with crystal-clear sound. These generous gifts will not only enrich our students' educational experiences but also inspire creativity and passion for the arts.
A heartfelt thank you to the Young Family Foundation for their continued dedication to fostering the arts in our community! 🎶🎭

·         Displaying severe or overwhelming emotional pain or distress.

·         Increased physical symptoms—such as fatigue, headaches, and stomachaches—commonly associated with emotional distress.

·         Changing or withdrawing from social connections or situations.

·         Changes in sleep (increased or decreased).

·         Anger or hostility that seems out of character or out of context.

·         Recent increased agitation or irritability.
