Mr. Cosgrove’s Social Studies Awards Student of the Year – This is the 24th year Mr. Cosgrove has selected a student of the year. The students of the year for the 2023-2024 school year includes 6th grade student Reagan Morgan and 7th grade student Trevor Mayle. While Mr. Cosgrove tries to narrow the selection to one student, these two students met all the requirements within the respective grade levels Mr. Cosgrove teaches. The criteria include superior academic performance; outstanding behavior, conduct, demonstrated courtesy and respect towards students and staff; excellent attendance; and being attentive in class. A top student carries personal qualities that enhance their academic performance and prepare them for the challenges ahead—Reagan and Trevor have these qualities. Other awards were presented to the STEM program and activities conducted in Mr. Cosgrove’s class during the school year. The top two students in the wind turbine project include Ellie Hall and Brooke Tingler. These students generated the most volts with their design and were able to code the corresponding micro:bits. They also helped other students with the coding. Both students excelled in all STEM projects and are the STEM Students of the Year. Four forensic lab leaders were awarded medals for their leadership skills during the blood splatter and analysis project, they include: Makenna Cunningham, Makenzie Justice, Natalie Miller, and Kaylee Sampson. Other students to be commended in the wind turbine project includes: Mackenzie Bevel, Makenzie Justice, Mason Laughlin, Natalie Miller, Haley Nicholas, Payton Quick, Kaylee Sampson, Kylee Stewart and Eliana White. Mr. Cosgrove would like to thank and commend his 7th grade class. Every student that started and ended the school year in his class did outstanding work and had excellent behavior—a truly remarkable group of students. He would also like to thank his 6th grade classes for their hard work, where the vast majority of students were amazing.

Good Morning Folks & HAPPY MONDAY to You from your ChangeMaker Champions Crew!
We didn’t mention it last week but it’s important for you to know that MAY is Mental Health Month & this week is Children’s Mental Health Acceptance Week. We do think that’s kind of an odd name for such a special week, but the truth is, it was changed from Mental Health Awareness Week to Acceptance week just a few years ago in an effort to help the world understand we should be as okay with saying “I’ve got a therapy appointment today…” as we are in saying “I’m going to the dentist,” or “to the doctor to get my physical.” because Health IS health!
Recognizing our mental health is just as important as our physical health & accepting individuals who struggle – for a period, or for a lifetime – is critical to reducing the fear, worry, blame & shame that families & their loved ones experience. Recognizing the importance of mental health increases the likelihood that those who are in need will seek the support & treatment they deserve. Mental health is more than treatment, it's support for our wellbeing before problems or issues ever occur.
This week is a great opportunity for us to #ShineALight on the struggles we all have & to understand how easily we can access help in this day & age. We’re looking forward to sharing some things with you this week that we can ALL do to elevate our own mental well-being, as well as how to know when we may need help outside of ourselves.
May was first declared as Mental Health Awareness Month in 1949, but Children’s Mental Health Awareness & Acceptance Week & Day was only established in 2006. This week you’ll see us doing something small here at school that hopefully FEELS BIG to each of our classmates. We are grateful for a week & day during this month to focus on the mental health needs of kids like us, because we absolutely deserve it!
We hope you’ll take a moment this week to reallyyyyyy think about YOUR mental health & how it plays a role in your health overall. Our health is all interconnected & we deserve to have these conversations before problems arise to keep us healthy & safe.
