Wood Elementary hosted the first suicide awareness and prevention session on Thursday, Sept. 19.
Courtney Long, director of community resources and grant management, and Neftali Perez, a counselor at Waynesville Middle School, served as the presenters.
The Waynesville R-VI School District will host two more opportunities for parents and students to learn more about suicide awareness and prevention from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. on the following dates and locations:

All parents and their students in Pre-K through 12th grades are welcome to attend any one of the above sessions, regardless of the school their child attends.
