As we welcome the month of May I have decided to run a weekly raffle to
celebrate taking care of yourself mentally and physically. Every Friday in
May I will draw four names to win a special prize from my office. All you
have to do is stop by the office and complete a short survey noting how you
took care of your self during the week. Examples might be that you read a
book for enjoyment, played your instrument for enjoyment, played a sport,
or simply took a walk. We are encouraging everyone to be mindful of the
importance of being your best! To be at your best, means finding time to
relax. Thank you and good luck! Ms. Markofski

The high school football parent meeting has been rescheduled due to the
conflict with 8th grade graduation. It will now be held on Wednesday, May
30, at 5:30pm at the high school.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month! When you or someone you love is
dealing with a mental health concern, sometimes it is a lot to handle. It
is important to remember that mental health is essential to everyone’s
overall health and well-being, and mental illnesses are common and
treatable. So much of what we do physically affects us mentally. That is
why this year’s theme for May is Mental Health Month – Fitness #4Mind4Body
– is a call to pay attention to both your physical health and your mental
health, which can help achieve overall wellness and set you on a path to
recovery. May is Mental Health Month was started 69 years ago by Mental
Health America to raise awareness about mental health conditions and the
importance of good mental health for everyone. This May we are focused on
how a healthy lifestyle may help prevent the onset or worsening of mental
health conditions, as well as heart disease, diabetes, obesity and other
chronic health problems. It can also help people recover from these
conditions. Eating healthy foods, managing stress, exercising, and getting
enough sleep can go a long way in making you both physically and mentally
healthy. Each day during the month of May, Mental Health America will post
a challenge on our website atwww.mentalhealthamerica.net/challenge and on
our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts. Each daily challenge will be
designed to take relatively little time, and be accessible to individuals
no matter their level of physical fitness of where they are on their mental
health journey.
May 14-The Gut-Brain Connection: That gut-wrenching feeling in the pit of
your stomach is all too real – your gut is sensitive to emotions like
anger, anxiety, sadness, and joy – and your brain can react to signals from
your stomach. All the more reason to eat a balanced and nutritious diet –
so that your gut and your brain can be healthy.
