Please share with your Poage Pioneers!
This is Mrs. Bowley your school counselor. As you know we are taking a break from school for a few weeks just so that we can be sure everyone can stay healthy. I know some of you have questions and may even be a little unsure of what is happening. I want you to know that this will pass and we will be back at school soon. In the meantime, here are a few things you can do for yourself.
1. Stay Healthy. Practice good hygiene. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze and wash your hands with soap and water.
2. If it is pretty and warm outside, go out and play. Ride your bikes, play ball, anything to get some exercise.
3. Work off some energy. Breathe in some fresh air. Take some deep breaths.
4. Keep up with your schoolwork every day.
5. Help around the house, do your chores. Remember how we talked about helping out without being asked? Parents love that!
6. Be kind to your brothers and sisters. And, mom and dad too! Kindness counts!
7. Talk to the adults in your house if you are worried about anything.
8. Write a letter, or draw a picture for someone. Great time to practice your art skills.
9. Play a board game or cards with your family. Have family time as much as possible.
10. Lastly, don’t worry too much and just be a kid. Play, laugh, and be happy.
See you as soon as possible,
Mrs. Bowley
