WELLNESS AT HOME
(Content created by Kristi Birch, LCSW)
Dear Students,
We miss you, and hope you are doing well! Earlier in the week we sent out a newsletter that reviewed some great tools and resources to help you navigate distance learning. As we enter into this new adventure of distance learning, we want to continue to provide support and increase your access to social-emotional learning opportunities. We will continue to send out newsletters on a weekly basis throughout the school closure. Please remember we are here to help and support. Take care and be safe.
Thinking of you!

THERE'S AN APP FOR THAT:
Calm is the #1 app for mindfulness and meditation for teens.
Hear and Now:
Hear and Now measures your body stress by taking the pulse in your finger through your phone's camera. You can set daily reminders for deep breathing exercises.
Down Dog/Great Yoga Anywhere:
“So that anyone who wants to practice at home can do so, we are making all of our apps - Down Dog, Yoga for Beginners, HIIT, Barre, and 7 Minute Workout - completely free until April 1st.”
