SEL: Self Care

  • Self Care Calendar

    Good morning PPS, Hello June 2024!

     

    “It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.”-Sally Field

     

     

    In 4 weeks, we close the book on another school year! For all of us educators, June focuses on self-knowledge and purposefulness. We are public servants with only the empowerment and growth of youth at the forefront of our minds.  Between meeting deadlines, following NJDOE standards, general job pressures, and current events in the world and our personal lives, it is a challenge to practice self-acceptance.  Give yourself some grace – it is time to enjoy the fruits of your labor! You earned it!

    The Self-Care Calendar will also enjoy a summer vacation and will return in September.  CLICK HERE for self-care ideas for the summer season – take a screenshot, save it to your phone, and share it with your friends! How many can you accomplish?
