To Save a Life:  A great movie you can watch during lunch today and Tuesday in Mrs. Ramsey’s classroom 614. All are welcome.

“Jake is the most popular kid in school and has a promising future, but his world is rocked when tragedy strikes his childhood best friend. Now Jake is forced to ask, ‘could I have saved him?’ With help from a few new friends, he embarks on a journey to live a life full of purpose, knocking down the sacred social barriers of high school life and befriending a loner, Jonny Garcia. But when Jake’s life spirals out of control , will Jake have what it takes to stop him from the same tragic end? Can one person really make a difference?”
