Self-care is the word of the month from the Happiness Advantage. It is important to take care of your mind and body each day, so you are able to give your best each day. We are constantly giving and taking care of others and sometimes we must reflect and step back to take a moment for yourself. Please take the time for yourself to create that healthy balance between work on home. Do something amazing for yourself that will fill your bucket!
 
Thoughts to ponder...
Self-care is simple; it encompasses a few basics that, when added together, make you a happier, more centered person. A person who can function well at work and still have bandwidth for the important stuff at home. A person who can find the right balance. What are the magic ingredients to sanity? There are four main components: lifestyle, nutrition, hygiene and environmental factors.
 

Admin Intern Report
It was a busy and productive full week back at Westwood! I am looking forward to getting into classrooms over the weeks ahead to observe all the wonderful learning and teaching taking place. Enjoy the weekend everyone! Remember to do something just for you!
 

It was an amazing week of getting into so many classes this week. I know that it might feel like the trees get lost betwixt the forest some days, in the chaos of trying to manage it all; but we are making an impact. The level of thought that we put into our lessons, into crafting our environments, and being the caregivers breathes life into our students. We provide them safe spaces to challenge themselves. They do make growth and ALL can find success. 
 
I look forward to our reflective conversations during data retreats- I get the pleasure of hearing how our wonderful teams are working to touch each and every little wildcat, who enters our doors. I encourage you to bring a snack and a mug (coffee, tea, and cocoa will be provided).
