As a new school year begins, many parents find themselves wondering: is my child doing okay? How would I know if they weren’t?
Join Cartwheel, our virtual mental health partner, and educational psychologist Linda Price, M.Ed., CAGS, and youth mental health advocate Mallory G. for a free live webinar: "Growing Together: Supporting Your Child’s Mental Health This School Year" - Wednesday, September 16, 7–8pm ET (4pm MST).
Register Here - https://cartwheelcare.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HCLmAtumTtqSAlAXTNKW3Q#/registration
You’ll leave with a clearer picture of what typical mental health development looks like, how to recognize common challenges, and how to know when your child may need additional support. Mallory will also share her own story of navigating emotional distress as a young person — and finding the support and coping skills that helped her thrive.
Presented in collaboration with Minding Your Mind.
See the attached flyer for additional details.
A massive thank you to all of our incredible students, staff, and community members for rallying to take this year's Rivalry Week competition. The response to this year's contest was impressive. Every donation raised will go straight back to support our teachers through our Parent Teacher Student Organization (PTSO). Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

The Legacy Leadership Rivalry Week (Say that 10 times fast! It's a tongue twister!) competition ends FRIDAY, September 11 during halftime at the football game. The winner will be announced during 3rd quarter of the game tomorrow night.
Don't let us lose to the Elks! Let's show them who cares more about teachers and education by showing the silver for this fundraiser!
Donations can be made in the main office of each of the SJUSD schools, at the game until half-time, and via Venmo @SJPTSO.
SPECIAL UPDATE: Mrs. Mo, our principal, says she will personally match dollar for dollar the donations made in the SJHS main office bucket (that means, if there is $100 by the time the office closes on Friday, she will personally pay another $100)! So far, what's in our SJHS bucket is not that impressive ... so show up to Friday School and empty your piggy banks! Let's make Mrs. Mo pay up!
Go Redskins!

Friday's Varsity Football game will be at 7pm at Santa Cruz Valley Union High School at 900 North Main Street in Eloy, AZ 85131. Tickets can be purchased in person with cash or electronically at GoFan https://gofan.co/event/6822615?schoolId=AZ12001
At SJHS, we asked our faculty and staff to nominate their colleagues for this recognition, from which we selected one recipient. We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Patti Johnson was selected as the teacher to be honored from St. Johns High School!
Here are some of the words written by Mrs. Johnson's colleagues and administrators:
"This is Patti’s fourth year teaching art courses at St. Johns High School. Patti has a unique ability to make art accessible, interesting, challenging, and fun for every student. Her magnetic personality and great sense of humor make her classroom a place where students feel comfortable expressing themselves. She challenges her students to create beautiful and meaningful works of art, many of which are regularly displayed throughout the school and community. Her passion for art and her students is evident in everything she does."
Mrs. Johnson spent hours the day prior to the fair, submitting and arranging over 50 pieces of student artwork this year, many of which earned ribbons!
Congratulations, Mrs. Johnson! We are lucky to have you at SJHS!
