Good morning, Springfield High! Today is Monday Feb 3rd
Be A Senator’s focus for February is Self-Care. Senators show respect to themselves by taking care of their physical well-being. Research shows that exercise can be equivalent to medication in treating depression and getting proper sleep reduces stress and improves your mood. Teens need 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night and 30-60 minutes of physical activity each day. This week challenge yourself to get the recommended amount of sleep and exercise each day so you can be your very best!
