Research shows that taking a break from constant connectivity can help improve sleep and energy levels, reduce stress, sharpen focus, support brain health, and strengthen relationships through more meaningful face-to-face interactions. It can also increase productivity while giving our minds a much-needed rest from information overload.
As you enjoy the summer months, consider setting aside some screen-free time to read a book, spend time outdoors, connect with family and friends, or simply enjoy a quiet moment without notifications.
The Wellness Committee hopes you have a safe, relaxing, and restorative summer break!
Millet Learning Center’s Ms. Christine’s class had a wonderful school year and is ready for a fun-filled summer!

We wish everyone a safe, relaxing, and happy summer! ☀️
