Happy Friday! For those of you who are new to our building, every 5-day school week, we'll be celebrating students and staff who have perfect attendance!
Here's how it works: one student from each grade level and one staff member with perfect attendance will have the chance to win a prize of their choosing.
The results are in for this week's Strive for 5!

You can make a difference.
This September, during Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, Erie's Public Schools is reminding our whole community: a mental health crisis deserves the same response as any other emergency. You don't need to be a therapist — you just need to notice, reach out, and get help.
A.C.T. if you're worried about someone:
Ask — Start the conversation. Be direct, and listen without judgment.
Care — Show you care. Stay close and keep them connected.
Tell — Bring in a trusted adult or trained professional.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is always available: 📞 Call or text 988 — free, confidential, 24/7 📱 Safe2Say Something: 1-844-SAF2SAY ☎️ Erie Crisis Line: 814-456-2014 🏫 Talk to a school counselor, mental health specialist, or any trusted staff member
In immediate danger? Call 911.
Every student, every day. We're in this together. #SuicidePreventionMonth #EriesPublicSchools

Last week, we had some amazing Wegmans volunteers help us get ready for National Night Out! They spent time organizing our Community Closet and sorting clothing so we can provide free items to families during tomorrow’s event. We will have clothing available in all sizes, completely free, and bags will be provided for you to take what you need. We are so excited for National Night Out and can’t wait to see our community come together tomorrow! #EastMiddleSchool #CommunitySchoolsInAction #BuildingExcellenceTogether #NationalNightOut
