Notes from Mrs. Gassman (Miss Amundson)
National Alliance on Mental Illness - Ending the Silence Presentation (6-12th Grade)
On Tuesday December 3rd at 10:00 AM Danielle Leeds from the National Alliance on Mental Illness will be coming to our school to speak with 6th-12th grade students regarding mental illnesses, focusing on suicide prevention. Woonsocket students will also be in attendance at this event. NAMI Ending the Silence is a presentation designed to give audience members an opportunity to learn about Mental Illness through an informative PowerPoint and short videos. This presentation outlines symptoms of mental health conditions and gives attendees ideas about how to help themselves, friends, or family members who may need support. Handouts and resources will also be provided at this event.

National Alliance on Mental Illness - PreK-12th Grade Parent/Guardian Informational Presentation
All Sanborn Central and Woonsocket school district PreK-12th grade parents and guardians are invited to attend the National Alliance on Mental Illness parent/guardian informational session, which will be held on the evening of Tuesday, December 3rd at 6:30 pm at Sanborn Central school in the gymnasium. Similarly to the student session, this presentation is designed to inform audience members about mental health conditions, more specifically the warning signs and symptoms to look for. This presentation will include essential information regarding how to help oneself, one's child, friends, or family members who may need mental health support. The goal of this program is to educate oneself about mental health disorders, what signs to look for, how to support a loved one with a mental health disorder, and where/how to seek treatment. 
NAMI Presentation Flyer
Please reach out to Mrs. Gassman with any questions or concerns regarding either the parent/guardian program or the student program. Although this is a difficult topic, it is one highly important topic that needs to be addressed and discussed in an effort to reduce the negative stigma around mental health. We really hope to see a good turnout at the parent/guardian program. We hope to see you there!
Parent Guardian Information Letter
I am reaching out to remind you about Free Application for Financial Student Aid (FAFSA) Night 2024 being offered this Thursday, December 5, 2024 at 6:30 pm at Sanborn Central school in my classroom for you and your senior children. Woonsocket seniors and parents/guardians are also invited to this event. If your child is planning to attend college in the fall of 2025 or the spring of 2026, it is highly recommended that you and your child fill out the free application for federal student aid to determine if your child qualifies for grants (free money) and/or subsidized student loans (loans that you are not charged interest for while in college) and unsubsidized students loans (loans that you are charged interest for while in college). 

At this event we will have a speaker join us via Zoom to discuss the steps, process, and materials needed to complete the FAFSA. You will not be completing the FAFSA at the event, but you will leave with the knowledge and information necessary to complete the FAFSA at home.

The presentation will be held in person, but if you are unable to attend in person, you can access the Zoom presentation using this link:  https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89615820474?pwd=5rOYdXEhqwBtRkESM8fKbaFyAgoXvK.1

I look forward to seeing you there! 

Please reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
