Support Services News
For more than 40 years, the American Cancer Society has hosted the Great American Smokeout on the third Thursday of November. This annual event encourages people who smoke to commit to lead healthier, smoke-free lives, not just for a day, but for the long term.
The Great American Smokeout offers individuals, community organizations, businesses, and health care providers a meaningful opportunity to support those who want to quit. Participants are encouraged to use the day to make a plan to quit smoking or to set a quit date and begin a tobacco cessation journey. The event also highlights the many tools and resources available to help people quit and stay quit.

Any SUSD family member needing social/emotional assistance is encouraged to contact Shannon Cronn, Director of Support Services.
