As mentioned yesterday, this Friday is World Mental Health Day, a day to remind us that mental health is just as important as physical health. High school life can be overwhelming - between classes, social pressures, and figuring out future plans. This week, we encourage you to prioritize self care. Making time for things that recharge you. Take a break- step away from screens or homework to get outside or move your body. Prioritize your sleep. Your brain needs time to process stress and emotion. Connect with others- reach out to a friend, relative or a trusted adult. If you are struggling with your mental health, please know that our school counselors are here for you. Stop by the guidance office at anytime. Let’s commit to being a school community that supports one another.
