Happy Spring NPS Families,
Ahhh! Doesn't spring bring with it a breath of fresh air? A renewal of sorts... It often motivates us to tend to spring cleaning, of both our physical and emotional environments. Spring brings opportunities to get outside, to be among others and interact more. We can begin to incorporate more outdoor physical exercise, breathe in that fresh air, and take some moments to clear our minds.
Something New on the Horizon...

SEL CORNER
Second Step Curriculum: Elementary and Middle
Middle school advisories have started their final Second Step unit of the year, Managing Relationships and Social Conflicts. They have been learning strategies for how to 1) keep problems from escalating, 2) resolve interpersonal conflicts, and 3) find solutions and make amends.
Spring Self-Care
Some ways to take care of ourselves this spring season:
- Get outside and soak up the sun! The days are warmer and longer for a quick walk or just a few minutes to get some nature and Vitamin D. Fresh air boosts our mood and increases energy levels.
- Start with a clean slate. A change in season can be a great time for cleaning, re-organizing, or donating items that you no longer need the NPS Community Closet. If a spring refresh feels overwhelming, start small. After a month, you’ll have made a lot of progress!

And Tina is working on balancing the growing list of outdoor projects and spring cleaning tasks along with carving out time to focus on personal health and well-being and spending as much time together with her family as possible before her youngest goes off to college in the fall.
