LMHS NEWSLETTER
January 2025
From all of us at LMHS, we hope you had a joyous winter break and a healthy new year! As we look to finish up first semester, just a note that we have final exams coming up January 15, 16, and 17 (schedule is included in this newsletter).
This can be a stressful time for a lot of students while they deal with studying for exams, working on papers and finishing up group projects. Not only are students wrapping up academic responsibilities but they are also thinking about things in their personal life. With that being said, here are some tips to help your student stay healthy and feeling great during the last few weeks of the semester!
🔷Make A Schedule – Make sure you know when your finals are for each class and make a schedule of when you will start studying or working on projects ahead of time. It is good to start working on your finals two weeks ahead so you don’t procrastinate. Make sure to manage your time and stay organized.
🔷Get Sleep – Getting more sleep can help your mind refocus, recharge, and rebalance. This can mean a quick nap, a night when you go to bed early, or a promise to yourself to stick with a regular sleep schedule.
🔷Practice Stress Management Techniques – Everyone is different on how they relieve stress. So try different techniques to see what works best for you:
√Stay Active - If exercising outside is not your thing because of the cold, the L-Cat Fitness Center is
open before and after school, Monday thru Friday.
√Try Stress Management Exercises - There are many great techniques to manage stress such as
meditation, yoga, guided imagery or deep breathing. Search YouTube for great videos on each of
these activities.
🔷Disconnect From Technology – Make an effort to shut down your computer, turn off your phone or stop watching TV for at least 15 minutes per day. This will allow you to socialize with friends, get outside to enjoy nature or to start studying for that upcoming exam. Technology can sometimes add more stress to your life. You don’t need Facebook, InstaGram, or Twitter 24/7.
