The Teal Times
Cox Mill HS - Student Support Services (S3) - 9.16.20
Wellness Wednesday Topic: Goal Getter
Check out this two-minute video.
The positive feelings we get from accomplishing a goal can be a great boost for our mental health. Do you use goals to support your well being? How do goals impact your motivation and achievements? What is the downside of goals?
Charger Staff Playlist
A favorite viral video from the summer depicted two brothers, Tim and Fred Williams, experiencing a classic song for the first time (TwinsthenewTrend/Phil Collins In The Air Tonight). This video brought so much joy to those who viewed it, and it reminded us how music can connect us -- even across generations. Music tells our story and often reflects the collective voice of a generation.
Staff Playlist - Ms. Powell, OCS EC Teacher

Senior Strike!
Our tip of the week for seniors: do not compare yourself with others. Each senior in the Class of 2021 is on an individual journey toward a unique future. So much of high school can feel like a lesson on conformity. Senior year needs to be the opposite. Though you have all prepared together and shared some common experiences, all seniors should view their path to their future as a unique and special (if sometimes overwhelming) road trip.
Imagine yourself in your car driving on your first solo road trip -- the one you get to choose for yourself. With your favorite playlist as your only companion, focus on what is in front of YOU. You're the only driver (and the only passenger) on this trip, so stay focused.
Two goals for the week:
- Think about a unique quality you value in yourself.
- Check out these questions if you are having trouble with goal one.
