FROM THE COUNSELING DEPARTMENT
Suicide Prevention Program
Our school is committed to supporting the social/emotional
well-being of our students. That is done
in a variety of ways and has included the Signs of Suicide Prevention
Program (SOS Program) through the Health/PE classes. This program, which has been in place since 2002, is designed to teach students
that suicide can be prevented through treating mental health disorders such as
depression. It encourages students to
support one another but to also reach out to trusted adults if they have
concerns that friends may be at risk to self-harm.
Maggie Walker was able to add a new component this year
with the addition of a part-time school psychologist in the counseling department. Each 9th grade student that
participated in the SOS Program completed an individual depression screening. This allowed our counseling staff to connect
with students who showed signs of depression and to help parents as needed to
link up with outside resources.
Another new component that we are adding to our SOS Program
is the parent portal. This site has
information on the SOS Program and mental health topics that are of use to all
parents. It provides information about national resources that are available. Parents can complete an anonymous depression
screening on their child to help determine if there is a need to connect with a
mental health professional. We are
choosing to make this available to all MLWGS parents- not just our 9th
grade parents.

ITALIAN III CLASS SERVICE PROJECT
The Italian III class had quite a service project accomplishment. The students baked cookies and put them together with 'goodies' for a 'cookie-gram' on Valentine's day and the profits from the sale of the cookie-gram endeavor were used to purchase stuffed animals and other toys for 70 of the children at the Children's Hospital at VCU medical facilities. One of our students took the Valentine's Day surprises to the children.
It was a lot of work but all heartfelt and I am so very proud of them.

There’s nothing like spreading joy through the community with music, and no better way than with jazz on Mardi Gras. The Maggie Walker Jazz Band classes celebrated the holiday with the residents of The Towers Retirement and Assisted Living Community by performing a set of New Orleans style jazz February 13, 2018.
