Did you know that vaping nicotine can increase stress, anxiety, and depression? While it may seem like a stress reliever, nicotine actually disrupts brain chemistry, making symptoms worse.
Take care of your mind—choose a vape-free life! 💪

Happy National School Breakfast Week! 🥑🍎
Start your day the healthy way. Eating breakfast can improve memory, concentration, and overall performance. Make breakfast a priority every morning!
🚨 Weather Alert Reminder 🌪️
As we prepare for the impending weather tomorrow, we want to remind our school community about the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning:
🔹 Tornado Watch – Be prepared! Conditions are favorable for tornadoes. Stay alert and review safety plans.
🔹 Tornado Warning – Take action! A tornado has been spotted or indicated by radar. Seek shelter immediately.
Let's all stay informed and safe. 💙 #WPPSafety #StayWeatherAware
