Update #8
Dear MHS Students,
It's a short week of virtual learning this week. We hope you all enjoyed the long weekend and took a moment to honor those who have died while serving.
As the weather heats up and summer vacation approaches, social distancing can become more challenging. While we recommend that you follow guidelines from the CDC, the Board of Health, and the Governor's office; check out this article from NPR about the potential risks/benefits of different summer activities: https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/05/23/861325631/from-camping-to-dining-out-heres-how-experts-rate-the-risks-of-14-summer-activit
As always, reach out to us if you need anything at all. We miss you!
Sincerely,
The MHS Counselors
Mrs. Worthley, Mrs. Mahoney, Mrs. Lodge, Mrs. Padden, Mr. Ormberg, & Mr. Becker

Strengths Explorer Assessment
Naviance is an online platform that is used for career exploration. Later on in high school you will be using it for college searches and applying to schools. Sophomores have already created an account and freshmen received an email from Naviance with their login information last Thursday. Please contact your Guidance Counselor if you can't login.
Once you login, we invite you to take an assessment that will highlight your personal strengths and the types of careers that may be a good fit for you. Here are the directions to take it:
Login to Naviance--> Click on ABOUT ME (top right)-->Under Assessments, click on STRENGTHS EXPLORER. Make sure you take it all in one sitting (10min).
Naviance has offered this assessment until the end of June. If you would like to save your results, make sure to download them since your data won't be saved in Naviance after June 30th.

Developing a Regular Exercise Routine
Developing a Regular Exercise Routine
Exercise reduces the overall activation of your amygdala and sympathetic nervous system – the parts of your brain and body that generate your stress response.
Research suggests that aerobic exercise (such as walking, cycling, and jogging) provides the same benefits as non-aerobic exercise (such as yoga and pilates).
Studies also suggest you need around 21 minutes three times a week to experience the benefits. So, you don’t have to spend hours doing it – it’s something most of us can fit in to our lives when it becomes a priority.
It’s important to find something that you enjoy when it comes to building an exercise habit. Now more people than ever are interested in fitness, you have endless options. These include ‘bedroom fitness’ resources and tools that make it easy to keep moving indoors.
Here are some ideas. Check out the ones you may be interested in adding to your Stress Resilience Action Plan:
Schedule a daily walk.
Complete YouTube video workouts.
Do a free trial of Les Mills at home workouts.
Do online yoga with Yoga with Adriene.
Do the 5 week strength and flexibility plan from the NHS.
Set yourself a challenge to run 5k with the support of the Couch to 5k running plan for beginners.
Invest in some indoor exercise equipment.
Do this 10 minute home cardio workout from the NHS.
Find an outdoor gym to visit.
Browse Pinterest for indoor workouts.
Do an affordable at home cardio workout with a jump rope.
Invest in a Fitbit to track your progress.
