The Counselor Connection
As winter has made its forces known, we know it’s important to keep our bodies active. This can feel difficult when there’s snow in the ground and activities are limited due to COVID-19 restrictions. If you’ve got the right gear, you can do almost any activity outside. There’s no better time to try than this year: If the risks of COVID-19 have you steering clear of indoor workout spaces this winter, consider mixing up your activities! You can bundle up and try...
Sledding, building a snowman, making snow angels, snowball fights, ice skating, snow shoeing, taking a brisk walk, jog, or hike, or shovel snow for someone in need.
If your student is in need of winter gear, please contact me, we can assist!
Don’t forget the resources Covid Recovery Iowa has available.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Sincerely,
Jourdan Van Wyk, School Counselor
