During lunch, I noticed that the school cafeteria was quieter and calmer than usual. Even a few hours after the assembly I think students were continuing to process everything they heard during the performance. The troupe was able to touch on such serious topics as depression, suicide, substance-abuse issues, interpersonal conflict, and so many other areas in a short amount of time. I’m truly impressed with the dedication and high standards that everyone from the MWAH! troupe brought to the performance.’.” — Brian Bartoz Driver Education & American Government Teacher and Scholastic Bowl Coach https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/Listening-is-key monthly 0.5 2022-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/33b6d0bc-9d8a-47f3-a2cc-2b3fb49625a5/0C8F9894-AB9A-494E-93A6-5202E8F326A5.jpeg School Staff - Empathetic listening key to meeting needs. - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/three-sel-resources monthly 0.5 2021-05-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/1620094189856-EBFV37M47AMZ3VTTK7H1/student-performance.jpg School Staff - Three SEL Resources to Bolster Your SEL Toolkit This School Year https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/6bns4gyu3dmmqny8lme06qpctahe6e monthly 0.5 2021-05-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/1619914872302-BCVUXWUXIWTJ5CN0C619/jill.jpeg School Staff - Dr. Lori Cortez key in visit to Sauk Valley Community College by Dr. Jill Biden &amp; other national and state dignitaries https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/01b3xvsuas9sw7lf9rp684w3oj0qg4 monthly 0.5 2021-04-12 https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/g6c0lfh0qc2ll5j4zkdtkqbhlgizgk monthly 0.5 2021-04-12 https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/casels-sel-implementation-tools-and-resources monthly 0.5 2021-04-12 https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/blog-post-title-four-at73e monthly 0.5 2021-04-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/1618105609708-94A4QIYY0AKCM0V95E8E/mwah+5.jpeg School Staff - School plotters often are bullied, suffer from depression https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/blog-post-title-three-mnghk monthly 0.5 2021-04-05 https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/whatissel monthly 0.5 2021-04-16 https://www.mwah.net/schoolstaff/blog-post-title-one-4tcx7 monthly 0.5 2021-04-12 https://www.mwah.net/more-videos daily 0.75 2022-12-21 https://www.mwah.net/more-videos/blog-post-title-one-8slg9 monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://www.mwah.net/more-videos/blog-post-title-two-xp5ws monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://www.mwah.net/more-videos/blog-post-title-three-zts7s monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://www.mwah.net/more-videos/blog-post-title-four-hzmb6 monthly 0.5 2021-07-17 https://www.mwah.net/home daily 1.0 2025-02-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/b593f384-15c3-4664-a03b-e84f4acc411c/Ballard+Family.jpg Home - Bureau Valley Welcomes the Ballard Family Bureau Valley High School Principal Duane Price welcomed Landon and Amaria Ballard to Bureau Valley High School for four assemblies to students on March 16.

About Mental Health Students, teachers, and community members are in the process of coping with the Thursday, January 7 death by suicide of Dylan Buckner, football team captain and quarterback at Glenbrook North High School. The high school is located in Northbrook, Illinois, a northern suburb of Chicago. As is often the case in the aftermath of tragedy, people ask how such a loss could have been avoided. These somber situations provide an opportune time to evaluate which interventions might help students seek out necessary mental health care before the unthinkable occurs. Dylan, an 18-year-old senior, held school records for both passing attempts and completions and had offers of football scholarships from MIT, Oberlin, Augustana, and other colleges and universities. He said on Twitter that he had been selected to play in the Hawaii Tiki Bowl, whose activities would have taken place this past December 30-January 4 in Honolulu had there been a 2020 football season. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/1619749599267-W4A9RUDJ3T7E7BPF609U/mwah+11.jpg Students - Reaching Out, Seeking Help Essential When Encountering Tough Times. Feeling down or having a bad day at school, at home, or at work can make anyone’s day a little less pleasant. Whether it results from performing poorly on a test, missing the game-winning shot, arguing with a sibling, quarreling with a friend, or getting a customer’s order wrong at work, moments of defeat and short-term failure can leave a lasting impact. For most people, the bad day is simply a bump in the road, quickly forgotten as new, positive experiences replace the negative ones. In some situations, though, a person’s negative emotions can overwhelm the positive ones. Whether due to chemical factors in the brain or through one’s general outlook and disposition, some people have an easier time than others bouncing back from defeat. Having a support network can help you get through the tough times.

Students were glued to the edge of their seats and their message of recovery and hope was inspirational and timely! Many of the students at C4C have faced multiple traumas in their lives and finding the motivation and passion to achieve in school and life can be an overwhelming endeavor. Both Landon and Amaria spoke their truth, not always pretty and not always positive but that's not what our students need to hear. They need to know that life can give us challenges and sadly sometimes those challenges can come from the people that were supposed to be our family or our friends. For the first time, many of our students heard and saw firsthand that there is a way out of the trauma, there is a way out from repeating the trauma, and most importantly there is hope for a future! As an alternative school principal, I can say Landon and Amaria's presentation was one of the best we've had at the school. They are a true example of what we attempt to embody in our school's mission and mascot. We are the home of the Phoenix ~ Rising up from despair to a brighter future! Thank you, Landon and Amaria, you touched the hearts of not only our students but our staff as well.” -Mr. Mark Morris, Principal, Regional Center for Change (C4C), Regional Office of Education #47 (Rock Falls, IL) Presentation Date: February 11, 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/0d9a4e7c-3c4f-43a8-a93f-22980fc76862/287EAF9C-2A98-4CE3-8F8F-F2F796B0A6EB.jpeg Landon Reviews - “Having never met Landon and knowing that a 22-year-old presenter was planning on talking to our students and parents made me nervous when I learned about his presentation. Boy was I wrong. Landon's ability to articulate his message and connect to both students and parents was incredible. His message resonated with the students; his videos and images were woven into his message skillfully as he connected the students to his life. Landon's one-on-one with students after the whole group presentation was personal, meaningful and well attended. Students were eager to meet and talk to Landon. Landon's life experiences and story of hope will captivate both students and adults as well as help connect youth to answers they are searching for in this challenging time.” -Dr. Darryl Hogue, Superintendent, River Bend CUSD #2(Fulton, IL) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/74051c9e-6ff3-402f-9151-b2d6d7ff7bdd/image001-9.jpg Landon Reviews - Landon Speaks At Rochelle Middle School Pictured from Left: Assistant Principal Katie Smith, MWAH!

Performing Arts Troupe. When Landon Ballard was announced and took the stage, he captivated the audience with his authenticity and tone. He presented a personal narrative that was raw and illuminated the struggles of addiction and mental health faced by many adolescents. The life experiences that he and his wife Amaria shared will, hopefully, resonate with the young adults who experience similar personal battles or empower those not struggling to find ways to recognize and assist others to find means and resources to get the help that they need. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/606652f3f6cf610330682b55/25a640ce-509e-4dd2-ba83-57705e27df4d/Paw+Paw+Photo+12.5.2022.jpg Landon Reviews - Landon Ballard and his wife, Amaria, had the opportunity to speak with junior high students at Paw Paw Junior/Senior High School in north-central Illinois on December 5, 2022 on the topics of substance use, mental health, and family dynamics.
