Knight Nation News is going on Spring Break, too! Our next edition will publish on Friday, April 9, 2021. Have a fun and safe Spring Break!

This week, the Kings Junior High Hope Squad celebrated Hope Week.

Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program. Students who participate in Hope Squad are nominated by their classmates as trustworthy peers. The program helps to reduce youth suicide through education, training, and peer intervention.

In honor of Hope Week, the KJH Hope Squad's goal was to spread joy and positivity. They hung posters and positive messages around the school, offered mental health awareness swag for students at lunch, and did their best to increase awareness of Hope Squad to help reduce the stigma around mental health.

This year's KJH Hope Squad members are Vincent Brzygot, Leah Christman, Gabbi Gautraud, Victoria Gorman, Brooklyn Leist, Chloe McCulley, Ryann Schnecker, Levi Miller, Emma Titler, Lainey Ritter, Nate Lyman, Nolan Clark, Ryan Doughman, and Kaylee Thompson.

Great job!
