OCTOBER IS DEPRESSION AWARENESS MONTH
As October is quickly approaching, now is a good time to learn more
about depression. Depression is a sad or low mood that persists for at
least two weeks. If you are experiencing depression, you are not alone.
Approximately,1 in 5 people will experience a major depressive episode
during their lifetime. There is no single cause for depression. Symptoms
vary per person and accurate diagnosis is very important. Between 80
and 90% of people diagnosed have a positive outcome to treatment.

On October 27th at 2:30 p.m., we invite all parents and guardians to join us for this event. Watch in awe as pumpkins and their protective contraptions plummet through the air!
Which class will emerge victorious? Come and see for yourself!
