Your present circumstances don't determine where you go; they merely determine where you start. Dr. Mersy

WHAT IS WELLNESS?​
Wellness is the act of practicing healthy habits on a daily basis to attain better physical and mental health outcomes, so that instead of just surviving, you’re thriving.
Several key areas of your lifestyle are considered dimensions of overall Wellness. They include: social connectedness, exercise, nutrition, sleep and mindfulness. Each one has an impact on your physical and mental health. By making simple and healthy choices on a daily basis, you will be well on your way towards reducing stress, having positive social interactions and achieving optimal wellness.
Start with small changes within each dimension and take it one day at a time.

Stay Hydrated
It is important to stay hydrated in your day to day life. This can help support good mental and physical health in the long run. A good idea is to take a reusable bottle to school and set a goal of how many times you need to refill it during the school day. Having improved brain, heart and muscle function will help you to excel in your academics and athletics.

Get Active
While school can be grueling enough and it may be hard to muster the energy or the time to do something physical, it is important to make time to focus on physical activity. This could mean participating in team sports, running, doing yoga, or another physical activity. 

Plan Ahead
As part of the Staying Ahead of the Game program, one of the areas we focus on is the importance of time management for students. This means increasing your awareness and preparation for big events, exams or assignments. Knowing where and when important events are going to take place is a vital life skill that prepares you for future success. 

Eat Well
Similar to staying hydrated, maintaining a nutritious daily diet is important. A healthy daily diet is crucial to maintaining good mental and physical health. A diet that’s good for your physical health is also good for your mental health.

Create Some Me Time
We cannot always control our stressors or life events, which is why it is so important to prioritize your mental health and to spend some time doing things that you enjoy. Self-care usually refers to activities that people engage in to relax or help themselves with their emotional well-being. Activities such as dancing, watching a favorite TV show, painting or reading are examples of self-care routines. 

Get some rest
The importance of sleep cannot be overstated. When we sleep, we cycle through different stages of rest. Studies have shown that the REM cycle of sleep helps our brains improve learning skills, memory, and our overall emotional health.  Try to maintain a regular exercise routine during the day so that you fall asleep more easily. All in all, By following the tips above, students can get ahead and stay ahead in all areas of their lives.

What is important about a small school setting--

A small class enables a classroom teacher to have personal contact with each student every day. " 

"Levels of extracurricular participation are much higher in small schools than large ones, and students in small schools have greater satisfaction from their extracurricular participation. The single best-supported finding in the school size research, this holds true regardless of setting. Because research has identified important relationships between extracurricular participation and other desirable outcomes, such as positive attitudes and social behavior."
