The Eldred ‘Bee The Light’ team was proud to participate in the Out of the Darkness Walk sponsored by the National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) of Sullivan County and the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP). Coming together with our community to raise awareness, show support, and help shine a light on suicide prevention and mental health.
Every step we took was a reminder that no one should have to face their darkest moments alone. We walk to honor those we’ve lost, support those who are struggling, and remind everyone that hope is always worth fighting for.
Thank you to everyone who walked alongside us, supported our team, donated, or simply helped spread the message. Together, we can “Bee the Light” for someone who needs it. The team raised $755 to assist AFSP in their efforts to fund research, education, advocacy, and support for those affected by suicide.
If you are struggling, there is help available. Call or text 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.

Celebrated annually on September 15, International Dot Day is a global event that encourages people of all ages to explore their creativity, courage and collaboration. Inspired by the 2003 children's book "The Dot", by Peter H. Reynolds. At Mackenzie Elementary School we challenged our students to "make their mark" by wearing dots or creating dot-inspired artwork.
We gathered as a school community to celebrate our young leaders. It was a great way to start our day with messages of how to be kind and responsible and be the best version of ourselves. We also got to celebrate a student who was "Caught Being a Leader". Congratulations to Elsa for being a great example of kindness for our students!

The Mackenzie 5th-grade students in Mrs. Knight's class put the Leader in Me habits into action by partnering with Miss Salsbury's kindergarten students to assemble their Leadership Portfolios!
Through this special collaboration, our 5th graders practiced Habit 4: Think Win-Win by working together to support their younger peers; Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood by listening and guiding; and Habit 6: Synergize by combining their strengths to accomplish a shared goal.
Our kindergarten students had the opportunity to learn from positive role models while building confidence and independence. Our 5th graders demonstrated patience, responsibility, and kindness as they encouraged and celebrated their kindergarten partners.
This is what leadership looks like—learning together, helping others, and growing as leaders.

One of those achievements was the pet treat fundraiser. Members of the student council were able to take a field trip to the Humane Society of Port Jervis/Deerpark and were able to see where their support goes and the animals that benefit from their generosity. Congratulations to a great group of student leaders!
