Mrs. Kacer and Mrs. Hopper are very excited to get the year going with El Campo's HOSA organization. There were over 100 health students who showed interest in joining, and the September meeting was busy with information on competitions, registration with National HOSA, and cutting tags for our upcoming Boo Gram fundraiser.

Mrs. Wenglar’s class at ECHS wrapped up their unit on community and responsibility with a sweet project — Kindness Rice Krispies! Together they followed a recipe, practiced sequencing the steps, and topped it all off with a unanimous stamp of approval on their delicious creation.

Mrs. Hopper's Principles of Health Science class has been focusing on teamwork in the healthcare field. For a Fun Friday Activity, we took on the Marshmallow Challenge. In this challenge, students were assigned specific roles and had to collaborate as a team to build the tallest structure possible using only 20 spaghetti sticks, 1 yard of masking tape, 1 yard of yarn, and one marshmallow. This is one challenge the students won't forget!

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month—a time to raise awareness, promote hope, and normalize help-seeking. Suicide affects millions of people every year, yet too many struggle in silence. Whether you’re facing challenges, supporting a friend or loved one, or are looking to help, your voice matters.

Youth Suicide Warning Signs

·         Expressing hopelessness about the future.

·         Displaying severe or overwhelming emotional pain or distress.

·         Increased physical symptoms—such as fatigue, headaches, and stomachaches—commonly associated with emotional distress.

·         Changing or withdrawing from social connections or situations.

·         Changes in sleep (increased or decreased).

·         Anger or hostility that seems out of character or out of context.

·         Recent increased agitation or irritability.

Text, call, or chat 988 for 24/7 judgment-free support.
