Wellness Wednesday: Be Dependable
Happy Wellness Wednesday Red Devils!
Because YELLOW stands for happiness, positivity, energy, optimism, and joy, we are asking for our campus community to wear YELLOW on Wednesdays to help promote our Wellness Wednesday efforts.
Being a dependable person can improve the quality of your life. If you are dependable
people know they can count on you to be on time, do your best at something, finish the job and
even do what’s right when no one is watching. You have earned their trust, they know you are
dependable.
You, as a student, can show you are dependable in many ways. You can have perfect school attendance, never miss turning in an assignment or fail to study for a test. Others are never late to a class or a practice and try their best at everything they do. They work hard to meet all their obligations. They dislike disappointing anyone, especially themselves.

Kindness Challenge: Offer a helping hand to someone who is facing difficulties.
We all need someone to talk to, someone who listens, and someone who understands. Your Sweetwater High School Counselors are here for you. Click here to complete the SUHi Wellness Check-In. Your counselor will reach out to you 😀
Virtual Wellness Room
Please visit our Virtual Wellness Room to take a break from your daily routine. Do some breathing exercises, stretch, or play a game. It's OK to take a time out for a "brain break".
