We Need Your Feedback Parents

Good day to everyone!

We are almost 1 month away from our 2019 Parent symposium, Embracing our Community to Ensure a Stronger Future, April 27, 2019, at Montgomery HS.  We are asking for your support in spreading the word, sharing and announcing this event at your schools.  In addition to having workshops that will address: Cyber Bullying, Success in College, Micro-Aggressions, Restorative Practices, Trauma Informed Care, Teen Depression, Building Relationships, Overcoming Failures, and more, the Parent symposium will also have a Community Resource fair attended by several agencies and Colleges. 

Parents are highly encouraged to bring their Middle and High School students to the event, where students can speak directly with some of our local colleges & outreach programs from SDSU, UCSD, USD, Point Loma Nazarene, SWC, San Diego City & Mesa college.  Many of our community partners are making donations and will give away gifts at the end of the event such as Padres tickets, Museum passes, Gift cards, Cruise tickets, Electronics, Gym memberships, Middle and High School reading books and more.  Have your parents register by scanning the QR Code on the attached flyer or by going to http://bit.ly/2019SweetParents

#WellnessWednesday: Identifying Strengths

Happy 27^th Wellness Wednesday of the school year!

This week was the third session of our SUHi Rising Stars support group. This week we had our students interview one another to identify 5 strengths. Then, they had to list five more self-identified strengths. We had a very productive session!

In order for us to be the best version of ourselves, we need to focus on our strengths and grow from our weaknesses.  

Self-Care

Make a list of 10 things you are good at and post it where you can see it often.

Kindness Challenge

Learn how to say “please” & “thank you” in 5 different languages

Affective Statement

I am feeling frustrated about/by/to see/to hear that…

Our relaxation room in the counseling center is housed in office #141. Many students have been using this space during the school day as a calming place in the hustle and bustle of student life. We are still looking for donations of a lamp or market lights, wellness books, decorative fountain, zen garden, and anything else to help make our wellness room a calming space.

See here for photos of our relaxation room

Please continue to encourage students to experience the Wellness Wednesday Relaxation Lounge in the Counseling Center at lunch on Wednesdays. It’s the perfect spot to de-stress and decompress. Nurse Wegener also has a relaxation space for students who need.

Have a wonderful day! #BeWellRedDevils
