Thanks to an anonymous donor, WHS is able to teach a new mental-wellness course to 9th graders in their Health classes. The Wayfinder program is designed to create awareness and coping strategies for youth as they navigate difficult situations in their lives. Wayfinder stands for Wasatch Aware Youth and provides tools for students to help find their way and develop their personal compass. These lessons will be starting in November and continue once a month throughout the year. If you have questions about the program please Jennifer Roskelley at 654-0640

The Utah Women & Leadership Project is hosting an online workshop for high-school aged young women titled “Emotional Wellbeing for Young Women: Understanding Your Brain, Body, and Behavior.” The workshop will be held on Tuesday, November 17 from 6:00pm-7:30pm.

She will help unpack some underlying beliefs and thought processes around body image, anxiety and depression, and other emotional struggles, which will help increase mental health stability.

Its that time of year! Time to start planning your next school year! Can you believe you will be picking out classes for 11th grade? 10th grade students have participated in career exploration lessons this week from the counselors in their math classes. They have been given a list of electives and a course selection worksheet. Please take a few minutes to discuss course options with your student. We have told them to pick classes based on their interests, future career ideas, and a desire to try new things; don't pick classes based on your friends' choices! Choose classes that will benefit you, and help to guide you into your next step after high school. We have so many to choose from, this should be fun for you to pick new classes for next year and get you one step closer to graduation!

Please visit www.myconferencetime.com/wasatchhs to schedule an appointment with your assigned counselor. Please bring your course selection with you to your appointment(filled out already!)
