Happy Wednesday Faithful Shepherd Community! I hope you are all staying healthy. Last week I started highlighting some favorite health-related websites for learning, for caring for yourself, and just for fun!  Here are this week’s Website Wanders:

This short video was put together by a group of district196 nurses to help everyone understand why these basics are important.  Look for a cameo appearance by one of our own students mid-video!

https://www.district196.org/about/calm-room  District 196’s virtual calming room is designed to assist in identifying different strategies for managing emotions, and it’s huge! Take a break here; relax and de-stress; find a brain boost.  My favorite sections are the nature sounds and the zoocams!

https://www.co.dakota.mn.us/parks/parksTrails/SpringLake/Pages/schaars-bluff-trailhead.aspx  Take a mini road trip and a hike!  Dakota County is chock-full of wonderful places to move your body and restore your soul.  This one is about 20 minutes from school.  Buildings are closed but trails are open and there is a portable latrine on site.  See how many new places you can discover!
