April really is the cruelest month, especially if you are
in high school. AP exams begin soon, there are recitals, concerts, dances, and
research papers galore. All this activity can cause stress, stress can cause
illness, and no one has time for that!
The Ridgefield Library has partnered with the Ridgefield Chamber of
Commerce Health and Wellness Council to offer a series of programs for high
school students who are looking to lead healthier lives. These programs will
teach teens some “Life Hacks” they can use at any time. On April 27th a yoga instructor
and a meditation teacher will lead a program on Calming the Chaos. They’ll show
teens how to center themselves with movement, breath, and mindfulness. May 20th
brings a program that will help teens look and feel their best. A nutritionist
and skin care expert will show some simple approaches to eating healthily.
Finally, on May 25th, the RVNA’s director of community health and
wellness will teach teens some time management skills to maximize their
downtimes. All the programs will run from 4 to 5 PM at the Ridgefield Library.
High school students are encouraged to sign up through the Library’s website at
ridgefieldlibrary.org.
