Please join us on February 6, 2025, at Northern Burlington County Regional High School (Main Cafeteria) for our Relay for Life Kick-Off event from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm. There will be free food (catered by La Piazza) and lots of information about Relay for Life! Our students and teams have been working hard to set-up their fundraisers (bake sales, beef stick sales, face painting, games, etc.), so we hope you can come and enjoy dinner, learn more about Relay, and support our students and Relay teams.

I hope you took time for yourself and encouraged your students/teens to do so as well to reflect on 2024. Since January is often the month to declutter and organize basically anything and everything, it is also a good way to give your mental health a boost right at the start of the New Year. Here are some key points as to how decluttering helps your mental health:

Reduces stress: Clutter can trigger feelings of overwhelm and stress, while decluttering provides a sense of order and control, lowering cortisol levels.

Improves focus: When your surroundings are organized, it becomes easier to concentrate on tasks and reduce distractions, leading to better focus and productivity.

Boosts mood: The act of decluttering and achieving a clean space can provide a sense of accomplishment, leading to a more positive mood and increased self-esteem.

Enhances sleep: A tidy bedroom can promote better sleep quality by creating a calming environment for relaxation.

Increases creativity: Clearing out unnecessary items can open up mental space for new ideas and creative thinking and writing.

NB’s six-week SAT Prep program continues in person on January 25, February 1, 8, 15, 22, and March 1.

This program will prepare you for the March 8th or May 3rd SAT.

The program is contingent on sufficient enrollment of at least 17 students. An afternoon session will be added if needed to meet all registration requests.
