πŸŽ‰πŸΎ Tool of the Week: Ride, Glide, Slide! πŸ›΄πŸ’š

This week, our River Otters are practicing the power of movement! πŸ’™ Whether it’s riding a bike, swinging, sliding, spinning, or taking a walk, moving our bodies can help us feel refreshed, improve focus, and regulate our emotions. 🌈✨

Remember to check in with your body, find a movement that feels good, and reflect on how it makes you feel! πŸ’šπŸ’›β€οΈ

❀️ October is Cardiac Arrest Awareness Month! ❀️

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, including seemingly healthy children, teens, and adults. Knowing the warning signs and recognizing when someone needs help can save lives! πŸ«€

Take a moment to learn the signs of cardiac arrest and remember: call 911, start CPR, and use an AED as soon as possible. Together, we can spread awareness and help save lives!
