May is Mental Health Awareness Month! This month is a reminder that we all have mental health. It's how we think, feel, connect with others, and handle stress.  Taking care of our mental health is just as important as maintaining our physical health. Doing things like getting enough sleep, eating balanced meals, spending time outside, and doing fun activities as a family are all ways to tend to our mental health. In HSD we encourage students, staff and families to:Learn more about mental health and protective factors.  Speak respectfully and inclusively about mental health.  Seek help if they are struggling with their mental health and encourage others to do the same.  Create safe and supportive environments for open conversations about mental health. Visit our website for some ideas and resources your family can explore. Together, let's prioritize mental health awareness and create a supportive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered to prioritize their well-being.Our featured event is our 10th Annual Proud to be HSD Festival, which was held on Saturday, May 10 in downtown Hillsboro.

The schools in Steubenville, Ohio, are doing something unusual—in fact, it's almost unheard of. In a country where nearly 40 percent of fourth graders struggle to read at even a basic level, Steubenville has succeeded in teaching virtually all of its students to read well. According to data from the Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford University, Steubenville has routinely scored in the top 10 percent or better of schools nationwide for third grade reading, sometimes scoring as high as the top 1 percent.In study after study for decades, researchers have found that districts serving low-income families almost always have lower test scores than districts in more affluent places. Yet Steubenville bucks that trend.“It was astonishing to me how amazing that elementary school was,” said Karin Chenoweth, who wrote about Steubenville in her book How It's Being Done: Urgent Lessons From Unexpected Schools.This week on Reveal, reporter Emily Hanford shares the latest from the hit APM Reports podcast Sold a Story. We'll learn how Steubenville became a model of reading success—and how a new law in Ohio put it all at risk.  Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weekly Connect with us on Bluesky, Facebook and Instagram Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
