In this stressful time, it’s important to absorb some good news and be intentional about noticing happy moments. Here are a few things to help you keep your positive perspective! Animal Friends! Sometimes a dose of cuteness is the best medicine. #Caremongering: Let’s be like Canada! In the last few days they have started a movement to spread kindness by helping people in their community. They call it caremongering to counteract the “scaremongering” that is going around. It can even be something as simple as positive messages to encourage friends or helping out family at home. Look for ways to care for others this week. How To Make a Record Setting Paper Airplane Might as well use your time in the house wisely! Send kfriesen@lammersvilleusd.net a video of your paper airplane attempts or an update on how you are caring for yourself or others this week (#caremongering) and you may be featured in next week’s Positive Perspective! Over the next few weeks while the school is participating in Distance Learning, Counselors will be sending out daily tips, techniques, and activities to help support you during this time. We realize that a large change such as this can cause stress and anxiety on you and your family. Please take a look at the attached presentation in PDF form designed to target the anxiety or stress you may currently be feeling. 
 As we start to prepare for distance learning, now is the time to ensure you have an adequate space in your home to work.
If you haven’t done so already, you should establish a daily schedule. Creating a daily schedule will ensure you are dedicating enough time for your studies while also maintaining a healthy school/life balance. Teachers don’t expect you to work on assignments all day, every day. In fact, we encourage you to schedule time for yourself! If you need help creating a daily schedule that works for you, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your counselor. We are here to help you!  It is our goal to continue to provide comprehensive school counseling services related to academics, personal/social, and career development fields. We will just be doing this in a new way! As always- the fastest way to reach your counselor is through email or Google Hangouts! If you would like to make an appointment with your assigned counselor, we have set up a virtual meeting appointment request process during school hours. Please use the links provided in the chart HERE: https://tinyurl.com/MHHSCounselorContact2020 You will be hearing from us daily with various supports, information, and activities. Counselors may request a meeting with you during school hours. Please keep a close eye on your email, so you do not miss important information! During the next few weeks counselors are working on transitioning to more virtual experiences. This includes SUCCESS workshops, College Night, Coffee with the Counselor, and more!  |
