During class, Egypt noticed that one of her classmates was typing a very concerning message related to self-harm and was also acting in an unusual manner.

Because of Egypt’s bravery, awareness, and quick response, staff were able to intervene and ensure that the student received help and remained safe. Egypt demonstrated exceptional empathy, responsibility, and courage—setting a powerful example of what it means to do the right thing.
