Mental Health America recently released a new resource rich Mental Health Toolkit for Mental Health Month. One item in particular we would like to highlight is a great infographic on COVID and Mental Health that can be printed out in color or shared with anyone in your family that you may want to share it with. Please remember you can also reach out to our Social Worker, Cate Jennings with any concerns about your child/family: cjennings@saintjamesschool.net.
Tomorrow we will continue with our Mid-Week Distance Learning Spirit Day, with tomorrow’s theme being Hat Day. Maybe it’s a baseball cap with your child’s favorite team, a fancy hat, a winter hat, a pair of mickey ears in honor of your last trip to Disney, or a “Cat In The Hat” hat like the picture below. We would love to see pictures of our students sporting their favorite hat while doing their assignments. Please send pictures to aguenther@saintjamesschool.net by 1:00pm on Wednesday, May 13th.
As a reminder, our virtue of the month this month is Gratitude. Here are two writings about gratitude from students in Mrs. Gangloff’s Kindergarten class.
Hopefully students are finding the check lists that Mr. Green put together handy for at-home daily exercise for students. Here is some additional information from Mr. Green about staying healthy while at home:
Father Cavanaugh will be hosting a special Mass this Sunday at 9:00am. You will be able to watch it Sunday by using this link: https://youtu.be/7bA6I2u2MUg
Please take a few moments to review the attached letter and information from Mrs. Jennings, our social worker here at SJS.
Wishing all our amazing SJS moms and grandmothers a very Happy Mother’s Day this weekend!
