🦃 Don’t Let Stress Gobble You Up! 🦃

The holiday season is full of joy and gratitude — but it can also bring extra stress. Between family gatherings, finances, and busy schedules, it’s completely normal to feel overwhelmed. 💛

Remember: Even if you have a lot to be thankful for, life happens — and it’s OK to ask for help.

Washington Elementary School District employees have access to AllOne, our confidential Employee Assistance Program, offering:

✨ Counseling & emotional support
✨ Help with family or relationship matters
✨ Guidance on general health and wellness
✨ Financial tools & resources, and more

If you don’t need support right now, take a moment to download the AllOne App and save this number in your contacts:
📞 888-993-7650
That way, it’s there for you — or a co-worker — whenever it’s needed.

This season, be kind to yourself. You deserve care, too. 🍂❤️
