Tomorrow marks the beginning of the school year for the majority of our students. As a reminder, please remain vigilant for school buses and students, particularly during early morning bus stops and afternoon unloading. Our School Resource Officers (SROs) will be directing traffic at the school complex, assisted by our Patrol Division. We kindly request that you adhere to traffic signs and follow their instructions when dropping off your student.

Furthermore, we encourage you to emphasize the importance of kindness, compassion, and empathy to your child. We all struggle from time to time, and small acts of kindness go so much further than we can truly appreciate during difficult moments. Being a decent human costs nothing, and it could mean the world to a person in need.

Finally, please encourage your student to seek out a trusted staff member or SRO throughout the year if they need to share important information or feel unsafe for any reason. We are there to help!

We wish everyone a happy, safe, and productive school year!

Our shelves are empty, backpacks are full, and our hearts are happy!

It was absolutely wonderful to serve over 300 people in our community during our Back to School Bash. We're so thrilled to have been able to provide food, school supplies, nails, hair-cut vouchers, and a fantastic concert with Mosh4All.

A big thank you to our amazing sponsors CD Salon, Nails by Sarah, and Dr. Richard Hudson with Mountain Kids Inc., for making this event possible. We couldn't have done it without their support. The smiles on everyone's faces made it all worthwhile, and we can't wait to do it all again soon. (Christmas is just around the corner, right? 😉)

Thank you to everyone who came out to support Teen Venture. We're proud to be a part of such an incredible community!
