Being grateful does not mean that everything is necessarily good, but we believe our latest blog post, "Part 5: In The Open, The Gratitude Jar" is very GOOD. We are definitely grateful for Parkway Schools parent perspective from Stephanie Pericich. Show your gratitude for our work by Liking and Sharing! Share the good! https://ahc-stl.org/in-the-open-the-gratitude-jar/
We have been spending a lot of virtual time working with youth to plan activities to provide healthy opportunities for fun. These conversations have been amazing and the resilience of these kids, inspiring. Therefore, when a student sends you a video and says, "this was meaningful and struck a chord with me", we want to share it. *Warning: if you are feeling a bit emotional today, this is a tough watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LnMhy8kDiQ
Thank you to these Parkway Schools teachers for living (& wearing) the Red Ribbon motto. Happy! Brave! Drug-free!
What is your HAPPY? Based on research, DOGS help owners live longer, happier lives. People often turn to drugs because they feel that something is missing from their lives; dogs can provide that missing link. Drop a pic of your pet in our comments so we can enjoy your HAPPY! (Red Ribbon Mask not required, but we will send one your way, DM for more info)
