How can we promote positive mental health in our schools and communities? WE WAIT TO GIVE OUR KIDS CELL PHONES UNTIL 9TH GRADE.

Once again, we are grateful for our generous patron who has donated funds to purchase school supplies for all our students in preschool-6th grade! Students will still need to bring a few personal items, as noted, but all other supplies will be provided. Students will be allowed to bring any specialty item, like a different folder or notebook if they want. See you all soon!

How can we promote positive mental health in our schools and communities? ENCOURAGE OUR KIDS AND OURSELVES TO BE OUTSIDE. Enjoy nature. Breath in fresh air. Play a round of cornhole/bean bag toss with your family. Take walks. Plant a garden, even if it is just pumpkins for carving at Halloween. Eat supper or breakfast outside. Better yet, leave your phone in the house and just enjoy. For more information, please check out https://www.anxiousgeneration.com/

Just a reminder that all students in grades 7-12 who plan to participate in sports for the 2024-2025 school year need to have a sports physical. Sanford is offering sports physicals in Jamestown on July 31 from 5-7 PM. Call 701-251-6000 to schedule an appointment.

How can we promote positive mental health in our schools and communities? HAVE PHONE FREE SCHOOLS. What would you think if you walked into a classroom and saw students sitting at their desk with a monitor connected to their Xbox and Firestick? It would be a distraction to learning, right? When students have phones in school, they not only have access to movies, shows, and games, they are also bombarded with notifications of messages.

How can we promote positive mental health in our schools and communities? GROW OUR CTE CLASS OPTIONS.

How can we promote positive mental health in our schools and communities? We have continued to ADD MORE PLAY TIME DURING OUR SCHOOL DAY. Most of our elementary classrooms get 3 recesses a day. During this time, they interact with students of different ages. We teach them skills to communicate with others. Our students in grades 7-12, are able to be in the gym before school and during their noon time. Students get over 30 minutes to eat lunch and enjoy free time in the gym.

How can we promote positive mental health in our schools and communities? There are many recommendations for schools as well as parents, to grow less anxious children and adults. Here are the recommendations for schools: Play FULL schools, offering CTE and work-based learning opportunities, The Let Grow Project and going phone-free at school. Social media sites began in the early 2000s. The “like” button on Facebook and the “retweet” button on Twitter both started in 2009. This was the same time we began to see mental health issues arise.
