Hey Dores! Thanks for the record setting attendance at Bites Before Rites yesterday. Over 225 students, staff, and friends came out to spin the Wellness Wheel, participate in a rapid Naloxone training by End Overdose, play lawn games (some while using DVGs Distorted Vision Goggles), eat pizza, drink Liquid Death, and enjoy classic ice cream treats. Wishing everyone a wonderful end to your weekend! 🖤💛⚓️
