Wellness Happenings Around Nipmuc

Wellness Week starts on Monday (Dec. 7) and 

The School Counseling Center and Student Health Services

 are buzzing with excitement and anticipation! 

We would like to give you a quick overview of what to expect next week so you can share our excitement about all the wellness happenings around Nipmuc...  

This Wednesday (Dec. 2) during advisory sessions, students will take a quick survey that will gauge how well students are managing their stress and what wellness practices they are currently using. One of the goals of Wellness Week is to help students identify one or more wellness practices that they can use to help manage their stress and regulate their emotions.

Students will be using Sched.com to sign up for an activity of their choice which they will attend during advisory sessions on Wednesday and Friday of next week (Dec. 9 & Dec. 11). The School Counseling Center has worked hard to organize sessions that include a wide range of wellness practices that highlight art, exercise, finding inspiration, music, nutrition, and relaxation/stress management. 

Activities in these categories include:

Making a Worry Stone

Regulation Emotions with Glitter

Relaxation through Coloring

Cardio Dance/Active Stretching

Weight Lifting

Recreational Games

Walking Outside

Yoga

Zumba

Motivation Speaker: Michael Wilson

TED Talks

Listening to Music

Along with attending these activities on Wednesday and Friday there will be wellness events happening other days of the week:

Tuesday: Free granola bars will be provided in the lobby during breaks as a healthy snack option
