One more day to Reach our goal:
23K In the Month of May
Evergreen Community Charter School receives 25% less funding from state and federal agencies than a traditional public school.
That’s where the *community* part of our name comes in. We rely on the support & generosity of our community.
We need to raise 23K in the Month of May. Please click the Donate Button to check out our new, secure donation software and see how easy it is to Give to Evergreen with GiveButter.
$5 would offset the cost of a lunch
$25 would offset the cost of a box of paper
$50 would offset the cost of filling up the bus’ tank
$100 would offset a professional development course
If everyone reading this gave $33 today,
we would reach our goal!
If that amount is a stretch,
*any* amount will help us get across that goal line!

Maintaining Social-Emotional Skills and Good Mental Health During Summer Break
For kids, summer break is usually a time to kick back and relax, but for some, the change in routine can be disconcerting. Children who are neurodivergent or who may be navigating anxiety, depression, or other mental health related issues may find that summer break takes them away from the “safety” of their school routines. These kids may actually experience increased anxiety when summer break begins. Parents may also struggle as they try to balance work while making sure kids are happy and fulfilled all summer.
In fact, a study by the American Physiological Society found that people are more likely to have higher levels of stress hormones in the summer than in winter. Summer weather can wear our bodies down physically. Extended periods in heat can cause sleeplessness, lethargy, lack of appetite and dehydration, all of which can lead to challenging behaviors and anxiety. That’s why it’s important to take a proactive approach to maintain social-emotional and mental wellbeing this summer.
When we approach summer break with intentionality around preserving social, emotional, and mental health, we increase the likelihood that transitions into and out of summer break will be smooth, and students and their families will be ready to start the new school year feeling connected and rejuvenated. Creating structure through schedules, planning fun activities, making time to connect with others, enjoying time outside, making quality family time a priority, and finding a healthy balance between downtime and planned activities are all strategies that can help ensure a fun, meaningful, and restful summer.
Follow the links below for more tips and strategies for creating a balanced, fun, and restorative summer break. We are almost there!
