Jaden Mejia

Recently, Jaden intervened during a difficult situation and potentially saved another student’s life. The student had frequently mentioned that she was unhappy due to personal issues at home. The situation escalated when the student not only stated she wanted to hurt herself but also wrote it on a note. Jaden took to heart the “see something, say something” initiative and did the right thing by alerting his teacher. He also kept the note where the message was written and turned it in as well. The student had already gone home for the day but Jaden’s quick action led to a chain of events to make sure the student was kept safe. Thanks to Jaden, the appropriate interventions and services were rendered and the student was able to receive the help they needed.
