September is National Suicide Prevention Month. For many of us, school and extracurricular activities play a central role in our lives. They give us a sense of purpose, provide us with direction, inspire us to set goals, and boost our self-confidence. Feeling connected to our school community helps us feel fulfilled. Not into athletics or academics? Yet another way we can combat suicide is by becoming a mentor for others or finiding a mentor for ourselves. 

There was an old Chinese proverb that says “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.  Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”  The meaning of this proverb is that it can be more beneficial in the long run to teach a person how to do something than to do that something for them.  

At this time, will you please rise for the pledge: 

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.  

Farmer Four:
