Happy May Day!
Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month? During this time of many questions and much confusion, it is a good time for us all to focus on our own and each others' well-being. The Mental Health Association in NYS, inc. "is a community organization that strives to improve the lives of individuals, families, and communities by raising mental health awareness, ending stigma and discrimination, and promoting wellness and recovery." I think this BINGO chart offers user-friendly ideas to use right now; maybe you could encourage a friend or two to complete the board with you, in no particular order!

A Note from Special Areas
We hope you have been able to access and enjoy taking part in many, varied activities from all of our special areas like art, music, PE, library, and P2 through the Online Learning Portal. Activities are updated every week! This week check out the new "exit tickets" provided so we can keep track of our physical activity through the PE portal page. Let's see how active our OR kids can be, especially as the weather starts to get nicer! Fill out an exit ticket each Friday to track your week's participation.

Remote Learning
Many thanks to those of you who took part in the district survey regarding distance learning. We continue to analyze all feedback and provide ways to best meet our students' and families needs, all while we, too, learn to navigate online lesson planning and instruction. If you do have specific questions about lessons that are delivered on your teachers' Google Classrooms, feel free to reach out to your teachers during their "office hours." Also, please reach out to me at jclark@westgenesee.org if you have any questions that I may be able to help you answer.
