Tonight is our last CFA fundraiser of the school year!
As we continue Mental Health Awareness Month at Ruckel Middle School, this week’s focus is on the importance of self-care and staying connected. Taking care of our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health, and even small daily habits can make a big difference. We encourage our students, staff, and families to take a moment this week to slow down, practice positivity, and remember that we are always stronger together.
This week we continue to share resources, strategies, and school supports focused on reducing stigma, encouraging open conversations, and promoting positive mental health for all.
