The National Junior Honor Society and Friends participated in this years Delaware County Suicide Prevention Task Force’s Annual 5K Run/Walk. We were able to use funds generated through fundraising to make a donation to the organization (by way of registration fees). The students learned about the importance of being mentally healthy and we discussed contributing factors to the rise in suicide among youth and prevention. The kids were amazing! I’d also like to give a shout out to Mrs. Povey for joining us and Ms. Brown for cheering us on and giving us Power Boosts along the way! If you see them around, feel free to congratulate them on this accomplishment! Some even placed in their age categories:

Mrs. Povey: 1^st place finish- Women

Daren Robles: 1^st place finish in Boys ages 5-12 category

Shae Thomas (Delcroft): 1^st place finish Boys ages 13-18 category

Fatu Kaba: 1^st place finish in Girls 13-18 category

Emelya Bukasa: 3^rd place finish in Girls 13-18 category

The Task Force was a part of a benefit to honor the memory of John Morphet.  Many family and friends gathered to honor John’s life and to raise money for our Task Force.  Many local businesses and artists donated items for the silent auction and local restaurants  donated food.  Entertainment was provided by Jimmy Shoe and the Shine, of which John used to be a member.  It was a wonderful event to honor John’s memory.  All proceeds were donated to the Task Force.
