North Sanpete High School
Jon Hafen, counselor at North Sanpete High School, talks to students during a Hope Squad assembly Tuesday. The Hope Squad is a group of students who try to identify other students who might be contemplating suicide.
The theme of the assembly was “ask”—ask your kids, ask your friends if they are okay, if they are happy, and if not, if they are thinking about suicide.
Hafen and Mazie Talbot, a member of the student council, gave out phone lines students can call for help as well as a list of resources.
In connection with the assembly, Mayor Mike Olsen of Mt. Pleasant proclaimed Tuesday as “A Day of Hope” in Mt. Pleasant and encouraged citizens to join together “in any way that is personally meaningful.”
