Akron Central School District acknowledges that we gather on the traditional lands of the Tonawanda Seneca Nation. We honor the contributions of the Indigenous peoples past, present, and future with gratitude for the land as we continue to work together with a spirit of respect and understanding.

●May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Every day this month we’ll highlight a coping skill or wellness action you can take to support your mental health. A calendar version is available for pickup in Mrs. Bowen’s office if anyone is interested. Today’s skill is to switch it up and do something different. This could be as simple as taking a different route on a walk or do something new you’ve been meaning to try. Mixing it up can be refreshing and open you up to new possibilities.
