I received a flyer this week from the Stoughton Youth Commisson regarding Operation Horizon - a program that offers a variety of activities and trips for the youth of Stoughton. Activities include things such as a tour of Fenway, a trip to the zoo and other fun trips. Past students have shared that they have enjoyed participating in these trips.

Our students in grades 3-5 have been working hard preparing for and taking the MCAS tests during the last 2 months. Some students take this in stride and don't feel any additional stress, however, some students find this time to be very stressful and anxiety provoking. While it's important that we prepare our students to the best of our ability, it's also important that we remember that they are kids and that they need time to do things that they enjoy. During times of increased stress it's especially important to take the time for fun family activities. Now that the weather has changed, my husband and I have been taking our children on family hikes. While they may initially resist leaving the company of their friends, once we are exploring outside they love our hikes and it gives them an opportunity to share any of their concerns or things they are excited about. I would encourage everyone to work to find something that you and your children can do together as a family that is FUN! Making the time for fun helps to reduce everyone's stress and also helps to build family cohesiveness! Have |
