Supporting Our Students Through Winter 🌟
As winter break approaches, it's crucial we remember our most vulnerable students. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) affects 10-20% of people with depression, and students are particularly at risk during darker winter months.

Quick Facts About SAD:

Symptoms include low energy, difficulty concentrating, and changes in sleep patterns
Reduced sunlight in winter can disrupt our body's internal clock and serotonin levels
Early intervention and support make a significant difference

Our Cherry Hill school anxiety program is here to help students navigate these challenges. We're committed to ensuring every student has the support they need, even during school breaks.

📢 Did You Know? We offer FREE training on Seasonal Affective Disorder and chronic absenteeism for schools and organizations! Learn practical strategies to identify at-risk students and provide effective support.

Together, we can make sure no student faces winter struggles alone.

🐾 Special visitors at Cherry Hill today!

Our Transitions program students were thrilled to welcome the amazing team from paws4people this morning. These therapeutic paws brought smiles, comfort, and so much joy to our program.

Our students have been working hard running their weekly café, learning valuable lessons about entrepreneurship and how profits can help achieve goals. Today's visit was a perfect reminder of why that work matters - creating opportunities for experiences like these that make a real difference in their day.

Thank you paws4people for sharing your incredible dogs with us! 💙

🍂 Learning in Mrs. Schwartz's Class! 🍂

Last month, Mrs. Schwartz's class at First Children School explored Native American culture through hands-on learning! Students created beautiful Native American-inspired crafts, listened to traditional Native American music, and enjoyed meaningful read-alouds that brought these rich traditions to life.
