Before we leave for February break, the School Counseling Center and Student Health Services wanted to give a quick update on the March Wellness Week!
The second Wellness Week of the year will be taking place from March 28-April 1, with advisory schedules happening on Wednesday, March 30 and Friday, April 1 for wellness activities!
We are excited to bring back some of our most popular activities such as therapy dogs, yoga, and singing your heart out. After taking some student and teacher feedback into consideration, we will also be offering some new wellness activities that include more games, snacks, and crafts. Keep an eye out for an e-mail about sign ups in March...students don't want to miss out on these wellness events! There will also be another "No Homework Day" on Thursday, March 24. This means that students will not have any homework due, tests, or quizzes to study for on Monday, March 28. Planning this day for the Thursday before Easter will give students an opportunity to spend time with their family and friends during the long weekend. It will be a great way to kick off the week!
We want Wellness Week to be fun and relaxing, but it is important to remember why we do it. Taking time to focus on building skills to regulate emotions, learning how to practice self care, and managing stress improves student performance in the classroom and overall well-being. If a student is feeling stressed or overwhelmed with emotions, they will not be able to focus on learning. Having a tool box of coping strategies, knowing how to stay healthy, and participating in enjoyable activities is the key to being well!
