Positive Mental Health

At this time of year, life can be stressful with how busy we all are with celebrations and family outings, and also with remembering those who are no longer with us. Remember to take the time to relax and think about the good things going on in your life. Research shows that if you write down 3 good things that happen each day, for 7 days, you will have a more positive outlook on life. Therefore, you will be better able to cope with stress.

You can write down 3 good things that happened to you or that you did each day. We challenge everyone (parents, students, and staff) to do this for this coming week. Use this graphic if you like:

CONCERT

Thank you families for joining us yesterday at the school to see our "Winter in the City" concert. We hope you enjoyed it!

We changed the format a bit this year. We held it earlier in December than we have in the past in the hopes that more families could attend before the busy holiday season started. Also, we held the concert all on one night so that families with several children do not have to attend two evening concerts. We would appreciate any feedback you have for us for future concerts. You can contact Ms. Couch at jcouch@sjsd.net or Ms. Amaral at samaral@sjsd.net
