Teaching and walking through hard stuff and joyful things with our students is something that we take great pride in. While we are away, we hope that you will make choices to be well.
We encourage our students to keep the routines they have set up for themselves over the past few weeks. Set an alarm, welcome the new day and set some small goals for each day. ☀️ This is a great time to move your body, enjoy the warm fall days outside or try a new hobby. We have seen that they are capable of limiting their screen time at school and we are hopeful they will be mindful of it at home too. Alarms or screen time limits can help to keep them from losing themselves to social media. Do some art. Try a new recipe. Create something. Call a grandparent or a younger cousin. This could also be a great opportunity to connect in-person with family, friends or others that might be needing connection too. 💥
As always, just like we encourage our students to do at school, please ask for what you need. You can reach out to Sherri Monday - Thursday from 8:30- 4:30pm at 780.294.9362 and Kids Help Phone is always there to listen over the phone at 1-800-668-6868 or through text at 686868.
Be good to yourselves and take care of one another. We miss you already.
