Hey kiddos!

Spring Break is next week. I don’t even need to elaborate on the subject. Go have immense amounts of fun, but remember to be smart about your actions as well. Here are some tips to follow as well as some general Spring Break information: 

Schoolwork – If you have something due the week we get back, get it done before you leave on Friday! Or at least get it started. The last thing you want on your plate on the Sunday we come back is schoolwork that is due on Monday morning. 

Stay active! – Being on break doesn’t always mean you should be a couch potato.. okay, maybe for a couple days.. but try to stay away from being dormant for the whole week. It will only make getting back into the swing of things that much more difficult when you get back. Exercising or even just walking around a mall for an hour is much better than sitting and watching TV.

Safety – This is so important that it gets its own bullet point list. If you plan on vacationing anywhere with some friends, safety needs to be your top priority. 

• Buddy System – Don’t go anywhere alone, especially at night. The bigger the group, the better.
• Drinking – Do your best to limit your alcohol consumption. If necessary, make someone your Designated Driver or call a cab if you are unable to operate a vehicle on your own.
• Contact Info – Give your parent/guardian all of your trip and contact information before you leave. If anything happens, notify them right away.
