A huge congratulations to Mayo High School senior Adam Berg, who completed the Ironman Triathlon in Madison, Wisconsin, over the weekend. This incredible feat involved a 2.4-mile swim, a 112-mile bike ride, and a 26.2-mile run.

At just 18 years old, Adam was one of the youngest competitors in the race. He was inspired by the strength and determination of Special Olympics athletes and dedicated the last year of training and every mile of his race to them. What a remarkable accomplishment driven by a wonderful cause!

Sometimes, knowing what steps to take can be hard when you are worried that your student's emotional or mental well-being might be impacted. RPS families have access to a confidential screener online at http://mentalhealthscreeningtools.com/. If the screener results indicate a reason for concern, or if you want to talk with a provider, schedule a free consultation with a mental health professional (https://ffcstaffconsults.as.me/).

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is also available for people experiencing emotional distress, mental health crises, or thoughts of suicide. You can call or text 988 or chat online at 988lifeline.org to connect with trained counselors anytime, 24/7.
