Student Services- Wellness with Aley & Elli
Mindfulness Activity:
Set a timer for 10 minutes. Lie on your back and widen your awareness to include your whole body and your breath. Notice where you're feeling tense. Invite the tension to release by softening. Notice your breathing. How is your breath affecting your body?
Raye, J. A year of mindfulness.
Experiences Canada Career Choices
As youth prepare for life after high school, it can be overwhelming to search for career information and navigate between the many resources that are available to support youth. Our Career choices program aims to create online resources to support youth in planning for post-secondary – whether that is continuing in school, or venturing out to the workplace. The virtual series will cover a broad range of possibilities, both traditional and non-traditional, reflecting the diversity of opportunities in the marketplace. https://experiencescanada.ca/career-choices/

Download the SchoolMessenger App
Next Step Outreach and the Division use the SchoolMessenger platform for communicating with families—through both phone and email. Be sure to add communications@eips.ca and nextstep@eips.ca to your safe sender list to avoid having important messages funneled into your junk mail folder.
The easiest way to stay connected is to download the SchoolMessenger app. Get the latest updates direct to your mobile device and enable push notifications to never miss a message. Families can also check back on past messages—for up to 30 days—directly in the app rather than searching to find an old message buried in your inbox. Download the SchoolMessenger app from the App Store or Google Play today.
