REGIONAL CONNECT CONFERENCES - RESOURCE FOLDER 

Another successful Regional Connect season is almost in the books! The atmosphere, energy and information shared has been absolutely incredible. Over the past month we had the chance to work with over 800 students from 70+ schools, sharing tons of program concepts and leadership resources.

Knowing there are many advisers in our community that could not attend this year's event, we compiled a resource folder containing the 2022 Student Showcase Presentations, our 2022 BODCast presentations and an assortment of adviser specific handouts.

'22 CHARITY OF THE YEAR: FOSTER CARE CLOSETS SHOPPING LIST

For this year’s state service project, we are asking schools to focus on our specific “shopping list” from these incredible organizations. All collected items can be brought to the state conference to complete our onsite service project and allow these wonderful organizations to provide for families around the state. 

We are hoping each school will select 15 items from the following list. 

IMPORTANT: Please consider matching outfits, current styles and mixing items between genders and sizes (Infant - Adult XL) to allow a wide range of items.

If school's would prefer to make a monetary donation to help support the mission of these incredible organizations, donation links can be found below on each organizations webpages.

Research shows that building resiliency and life skills, promoting social connectedness, and encouraging help-seeking and help-giving behaviors in teens and young adults supports their overall well-being, helps them thrive, and protects their emotional health, making it less likely they will fall into unhealthy behaviors.

Join MASSP in partnership with the JED foundation’s Suzanne Button, PhD, Senior Clinical Director of High School Programming in exploring what secondary school leaders can do to shift the culture and conversation around school safety and mental health by focusing on two components to change and save lives:
 

INTERESTED IN ESPORTS?

You know your students love gaming and there may be a subset of your student population that is not involved or interested in school at all, that would LOVE the opportunity to be on the esports team at your school.
