Posted April 11, 2024

Principal Message:

Asbury Community,

I have exciting news – on April 22, a non-student contact day for Asbury, we will be able to offer all day Discovery Link at Asbury. We know that days off can be difficult for families who work, so we wanted to be able to provide additional childcare for these days. Please be on the lookout for more information from Mr. Ronnie. A huge thanks to Discovery Link for offering these as a support for our working families!

I also wanted to take this opportunity to invite you to Spring Wing. Spring Wing is a wonderful event hosted by PTSO that celebrates Asbury. There are fun activities, an auction, and great food among other things – the theme this year is the Derby! To get you tickets, sign up below using this link: https://event.auctria.com/64e7e552-a4ee-4178-b213-020fb7cb5e51/

In Partnership,

Jeanna Doung

This innovative, practical, and proven suicide prevention training is designed to teach participants the warning signs of a suicide crisis and how to respond.

The signs of crisis are all around us and quality education empowers all people, regardless of their background, to make a positive difference in the life of someone they know. Trainees receive a QPR booklet and wallet card as a review and resource tool that includes local referral resources, as well as a certificate of completion.
