The junior high girls basketball team had a very good and productive summer. The team consisted of five 8th graders, four 7th graders and one 6th grader. Our ladies started out the summer going 3-3, then won 13 of their next 15 games to finish 16-5 during the summer campaign. They finished 3rd in the tough sonic shootout in Bolivar losing only to 5A Bolivar in 4 overtimes and then to conference foe Walnut Grove by 3. Wins over the next 10 games included 3A power El Dorado Springs, Warsaw, Osceola, Diamond and several conference teams. All signs point to a showdown with Walnut Grove for the conference championship this coming fall. Great job team! #MCPirates
The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline has arrived in Missouri. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Missouri Department of Mental Health, there is tremendous need for 988 services in Missouri:
1. Suicide is among the top 3 leading causes of death in Missouri for ages 10-34. 2. Approximately one in five Missourians above the age of 18 has a mental health condition. 3. Approximately 377,000 of Missourians age 12+ (or 7.4 percent) live with a substance use disorder. 4. Prior to the pandemic in 2019, 8.5% of adults in Missouri reported an unmet need for mental health treatment in the past year.
Behind each of these data points, there are people, families and communities who have been impacted. Yet, in the face of these urgent realities, there is hope. On July 16, 2022, Missouri joined the rest of the United States in beginning to use the 988 dialing code. 988 will be the new three-digit number for call (multiple languages), text or chat (English only) that connects people to the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, where compassionate, accessible care and support are available for anyone experiencing mental health–related distress. The chat feature will be available through the Lifeline’s website. People can use 988 if they are having thoughts of suicide, mental health or substance use crises, or any other kind of emotional distress. People can also dial 988 if they are worried about a loved one who may need crisis support. For more information please use the following link: https://988lifeline.org/chat/ #MCPirates
With triple digit temperatures forecasted into next week, please be careful Pirates! Please check on your elderly neighbors and make sure everyone in your family is able to stay cool and hydrated! If you need a place to "beat the heat" during the day, the Macks Creek Senior Center and the Macks Creek Library are open and available for anyone needing to cool off. Stay safe Pirates! #MCPirates
