Happy Mother's Day
We want to wish our Mustang moms a very happy day!
To all of our moms at Oak Ridge: You are a leader, caregiver, supporter, cheerleader, mentor, confidant, hero, and best friend. You are the hand that guides us. You are the rock that weathers the storm. You are the glue that binds us. You gave us life. You gave us hope. Thank you for all that you do. We could not be where we are today without you.

Parent Resource
Our skills for managing stress, anxiety, excitement, and many other emotions are always with us, but it takes practice to learn how to access and call upon these tools. Teaching children simple skills in emotional awareness and mindfulness at a younger age helps them to craft lifelong, healthy habits and better manage the ebb and flow of life. See these activities for children.
