Welcome Back, Friends! We hope you have had time to rest and relax over the summer.
Students, Families, Educators, and Learners of All Ages, we are glad to be on your team. Mental wellbeing is an important part of overall health. There are local as well as national and online resources that can help. There is even the new 3-digit number for emergency help in a mental health crisis: 988. Please utilize and share websites with helpful information about mental health like Well Beings: National Mental Health Resources and Well Beings: Mental Health Language Guide, The Trevor Project: Mental Health, American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, and Hiding in Plain Sight: Youth Mental Illness.

PBS continues to be a trusted source for educational programming that helps us learn and grow. Shows like Nature and NOVA introduce us to and allow us to explore beautiful, faraway places from the comfort of our home. Cyberchase shows us how math is part of our everyday life and it is fun! Molly of Denali, Hero Elementary, and Alma's Way remind us all that there is wisdom and wonder innate in all children. Series like Finding Your Roots and documentaries like Hiding in Plain Sight: Youth Mental Illness remind us that there is more to our stories than meets the eye. The educational resources for these programs (and so many more) on PBS Learning Media keep us engaged, and help the learning continue. There is so much to learn about our world, and about each other.
Please feel free to reach out to us at education@klrn.org. Keep doing the awesome work you do. We are here for you and we appreciate you.
