Our “Take Down Tobacco” campaign was a BLOOMING success! ✨🌺
A huge shoutout to our incredible Students Against Destructive Decisions (SADD) for leading the charge and making a real impact! Hundreds of Seahawks stepped up and pledged to “LEI” off smoking and vaping, now that’s something to celebrate! 🙌
With colorful leis generously provided by the Worcester County Health Department, (funding provided by the Maryland Cigarette Restitution Fund), our hallways were filled with positivity, pride, and a whole lot of island vibes. 🌴
It’s inspiring to see our school community come together to make healthy choices and support one another. Things are definitely looking bright, and flowery, around here! 🌼

Morgan’s Message Pickleball a Big Dill! 🥒
Our 2nd Annual Pickleball Tournament, proudly sponsored by our Morgan’s Message Club 🦋, was a great success! From exciting rallies to lots of laughter, it was incredible to see everyone come together for such a meaningful cause.
Morgan’s Message is a nationwide movement dedicated to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health in the student-athlete community. Our group works to create safe spaces for open conversations, promote mental wellness, and ensure that no athlete feels alone in their journey.
All proceeds from the tournament go toward funding future club initiatives, events, and mental health advocacy efforts—helping us continue to make an impact both on and off the courts, tracks, pools, rinks, fields, etc.
Thank you to everyone who played, supported, and made this event so special, and congratulations to this year’s winners: Sam Krasner and Brody Kendall!
