| Weekly Wellness Message | http://eas.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/190 | Weekly Wellness Message | <p></p><div>The Wellness team wants to remind you about the importance of sleep. As we get back into a more regular routine, we may notice that our sleep schedules are out of sync as a result of holiday routines. Did you know that adolescents need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night? Getting enough sleep is important for so many reasons. Sleeping well can help you manage your moods, leaving you feeling a little less irritable or moody. Good sleep helps important parts of your brain function better, improving your memory, attention, decision making, and can promote creative thinking. </div><div><br></div><div>What can we do to improve our sleep? Try to maintain a sleep schedule, go to bed and get up around the same time each day. Create a comfortable, cool, quiet and dark place for sleeping. Before bed try to “wind down” by doing less stimulating activities, such as reading or listening to calm music and, try to avoid screens in the time before bed, as the blue light can signify to your brain that it’s time to wake up.</div><div>Even small changes can help improve sleep. Start tonight.</div><div><br></div><div>Sleep Well and Keep Well Wildcats!<br></div><p><br></p> | | | |
| Announcements Week of December 7 | http://eas.scdsb.on.ca/about-us/news/school-news/189 | Announcements Week of December 7 | <h1><span class="ms-rteFontSize-4">Monday December 7</span><br></h1><p>Just a reminder to those involved with the boys basketball skills and drills, we will practice Wednesday December 9 at 2:00pm<br></p><h1><span class="ms-rteFontSize-4">Tuesday December 8</span><br></h1><p>No new announcements <br></p><h1><span class="ms-rteFontSize-4">Wednesday December 9</span></h1><div>Eastview’s Wellness Team wants to let you know that practicing gratitude can be really helpful with our mental wellness. What does that mean? Well Gratitude is a warm feeling of thankfulness toward another person or even the world. We can bring about that feeling by paying extra attention to the reasons we have to be grateful. All of us, no matter what we’re going through, can practice gratitude, and find things to be grateful for.</div><div><br></div><div>Practice today by expressing your gratitude to someone, this can be as simple as a thank you, or more involved like a note written to express your thanks. Try to spend time each day thinking of two things you are grateful for. Small things like a door held open, or big things, like a warm school building on a cold day can bring about a feeling of gratitude. </div><div><br></div><div>This holiday season is the perfect time of year to start practicing gratitude. The more you practice, the better you’ll feel. The wellness team is grateful for you.<br></div><div><br></div><h1><span class="ms-rteFontSize-4">Thursday December 10<br></span></h1><h1><br class="ms-rteFontSize-4"></h1><h1><span class="ms-rteFontSize-4">Friday December 11</span><br></h1><div><br><br></div><p><br></p> | | | |
