Make a Difference Mondays! Today you can purchase snacks to make a difference for students at the Hope Center for Autism. Also, a shout out to Science National Honor Society who have planned events all this week (Earth Week) to help everyone learn more about how to save the earth.

Take Care Tuesdays! Today is take care Tuesday and here is another tip for how to better manage your life. This goes for our adults, as well as teens! Turn off smart phones (at least for part of the day). It’s hard. But really, you don’t need it on constantly, as if it’s stitched to your side. You can take a break, even for just part of the day. There may be some withdrawal or anxiety about not being right there for what you think is critical, but just stop and think. How many texts, Instagram stories or other digital communications do you need to see immediately? Very few! Once you try it, you may actually find it refreshing to have a break from the constant notifications.

Way to Go Wednesdays! and we want to shout out Zach Lehachi and Colin Sweeney who have stepped up to volunteer for a Rotary tennis tournament this weekend. If anyone else wants to help, see Mrs. Kohuth ASAP.

Thankful Thursdays! Did you know that a simple note of thanks to someone who has made a difference in your life, big or small, can totally turn their whole day around? Take a minute to think about someone you need to thank and then do it! You’ll feel good, too!

Fun Fact Fridays! Did you know that your nostrils work one at a time? When we breathe in and out of our nose during the day, one nostril does most of the work at a time, with the duties switching every several hours. This "nasal cycle" is dictated by the same autonomic nervous system that regulates heart rate, digestion, and other unconscious bodily functions and is the reason why—when our nose gets stuffed up—it does so one nostril at a time.
