Great work last week meeting our attendance goals! This week starts the last 9 weeks. Let's finish strong and remember #EveryDayMatters! #DeSotoStrong

How to Boost Your Mental Health? The key to boosting mental health is about focusing on different areas of your life, one at a time. For example, one week can be spent performing activities like yoga, mindfulness, and meditation—these can help you live “in the moment.” This means letting go of past and future worries and focusing only on what’s going on in the here and now. The next week can be spent looking at resting and relaxation. Though keeping busy is wonderful, make sure you’re taking breaks and not being too hard on yourself. Lack of rest, both physically and mentally, can lead to burnout and unhealthy coping mechanisms. Another week can be spent focusing on time with loved ones. This is a wonderful way to boost mental health. A day with your best friend or family can help you better cope with trauma, increase your self esteem, and enhance your mood. #DeSotoStrong The next week can be spent looking at resting and relaxation.
