☀️ Summer Wellness Series: 3 Simple Ways to Exercise As a Family
1. Go for pre- or post-dinner walks
-Whether you head into town or just cruise the neighborhood, building a walk into your daily schedule ensures that it won't get put off.
2. Crank up the music and boogie down.
-Play your favorite song and dance together! Dancing is a great way to feel energized and it doesn’t feel like you are in “exercise” mode.
3. Sneak workouts into other activities.
-By making simple swaps to your daily activities, you can model to your family how simple it is to get moving. Some ideas are: take the stairs whenever possible, park further away at the grocery store and park your car before getting your mail. ☀️
💙📦 Yesterday, our incredible staff and volunteers distributed 500 meal kits to our community, providing nutritious food to families across the area. Thank you for your continued dedication and support!
☀️ Summer Wellness Series: July 4th Firework safety
Fireworks are a staple of summertime celebrations, but they can also be very dangerous. Each year, thousands of people are injured by fireworks.
Never allow young children to play with or ignite fireworks.
Older children should only use fireworks under close adult supervision.
Be sure to have a bucket of water or a fire extinguisher handy in case of emergencies.
Light fireworks one at a time, then move away quickly.
Never try to re-light or pick up fireworks that have not fully ignited.
Keep fireworks away from buildings and vehicles.
Never point or throw fireworks at another person.
Pets should be kept indoors during fireworks displays.☀️

☀️ Summer Wellness Series: Embrace the Sun
After applying appropriate sunscreen, head out and enjoy the weather! Did you know? Exposure to sunlight is said to increase the serotonin released by your brain. Serotonin is a hormone associated with improving and boosting your mood. It can also help a person feel calmer and more focused on their tasks.☀️

☀️ Summer Wellness Series: Social Media and Mental Health
Did you know? Those who spend more than 3 hours a day on social media are twice as likely to experience symptoms of anxiety and depression. Recent surveys show teens average about 3.5 hours per day on social media.
Families can support healthy habits by creating tech-free zones, encouraging face-to-face connections, modeling responsible online behavior, and discussing digital safety.. ☀️

☀️ Summer Wellness Series: Keep a Routine!
It is helpful for everyone, children and adolescents, as well as adults, to have a routine and to allocate time to a variety of activities. Create a plan that centers on being healthy and connected. A daily schedule doesn’t always have to look the same. Be flexible and give yourself something to look forward to each day: get outside, connect with family and friends, make time for yourself, make time for fun, and especially create moments of joy throughout the day. ☀️

Our students gathered in the auditorium today to enjoy the world premiere of the 2026 MHS Lip Dub! It is our pleasure to share it with the community.
The entire recording was completed over just two hours on Tuesday of this week. It captures a moment in time at MHS that students will be able to share over and over again in the coming years. Most of all, it was a community-wide effort that brought our students and staff closer together.
A special thank you to Pete Wyndorf for his leadership of this effort. He was aided by countless MHS students and staff members who gave time and energy to the project.
