Welcome to this week's edition of the James Madison Middle School Newsletter! We're excited to share the latest happenings and updates from our school community to keep you informed and engaged. |
Today, several of our students and a few staff members participated in Sources of Strength training.
Lunch was generously provided by the Hopkins County Health Department.
Sources of Strength is a program that empowers peer leaders to work alongside caring adults to promote mental wellness and resilience. Together, they help spread positive messages about the strengths that support young people through difficult times. Peer leaders will also encourage others to connect, reach out, and seek help during emotionally challenging moments.
