Wednesday, June 26, 2019

The school year and finally calmed down and summer break is here! While some teachers are already hard at work planning for the new year, it’s important to take time and de-stress after a busy year. We asked our community of teachers on Facebook how they’ll be relaxing this summer and here’s what they said:

“Baking is a great way to destress! It’s great therapy and you’re baking stuff your family and others can enjoy, it’s a win/win.” – Rita E.

“Strategically plan activities that you enjoy and stick to the plan. So often, we sacrifice our plans to do for others, so we have to understand that our needs matter, too! You can’t be the best for others unless you first care for yourself.” – Julie W.

“End of year massage...yearly tradition” – Betsy B.

“My family and I go up to the mountains to enjoy the cooler weather, the wild life and some fishing ...no schedule, no where we have to be, just enjoying every moment.” – Sanchez S.
