A suicide awareness and prevention program, “Solutions Not Suicide,” has been planned through a partnership between Coppell ISD and the Suicide & Crisis Center of North Texas. This community-wide event is based on the 33-minute video, “A Reason to Live,” http://www.mediaprojects.org/films/mental-health /a-reason-to-live/ and is free to the public. Please join us Thursday, May 9, from 6:30 - 8:00 p.m. at the GracePoint Church/590 S. Denton Tap Rd. for this informative program.
This Friday, May 3rd, the entire district will participate in Project ACES (All Children Exercise Simultaneously) between 9:00 and 9:30 a.m. (Please note: Due to conflicts, the exact date and times may vary by campus. Please be sure to check with your child's school for the exact date and time). The event, organized by the Coppell ISD School Health Advisory Council (SHAC), emphasizes the importance of exercise to be healthy in both body and mind, and is part of a global exercise initiative that began in 1989.

Austin University; she was a CISD elementary school student and member of the student committee that first proposed this facility years ago.
