Worry Jar

It's normal to worry! But you don't have to carry your worries with you all day long. You can put them in the jar and make a special time to think about them. You can use an old jar and put in slips of paper with your worries or click here to print your own worry jar!

Try this!

Here's a quick mindfulness tool you can use anytime you need to calm down.

Why Mindfulness is a Super Power

Sun Valley is so fortunate to have Ms. Jen and her Mindfulness Program. Every year, she brings mindfulness practices to every student in their classrooms, helps us with our weekly assemblies, and even meets with students for Mindful Strategies. Follow this link for all of her wonderful resources to help you navigate these difficult days.


Mindful Mondays

Every Monday, our beloved Ms. Jen will lead us in a brief Mindfulness Meditation. Parents, caregivers, students - all are welcome to participate. Please note that this is completely optional and in no way a requirement of your school day. Depending on the size of the group, we can have a brief Q & A or group share after the mindful moment. If it turns out to be a popular virtual destination, we may break it into smaller groups.


Just click the link to join. Please mute your microphone as you enter and, as we like to say, put your mindful bodies on. We hope to "see" you and share a mindful moment as a community.

Kimochis Online

Shout out to Abby Truitt for her heads up on this great resource:

Ellen Dodge, best known from Kimochis, has started doing online Masterclasses for parents and a YouTube channel with little videos for children and parents. She also lives in Sun Valley on G street, so she is one of us! She launched the Masterclasses right before the COVID crisis for $279. She has now made it free! What a gift! The Youtube channel, of course, is also free.

Here is the link to the YouTube channel: The Parenting Partner

TheParentingPartner.org is where the Masterclass can be found.
