Dear Lowell Families,

Thank you for your continued, active support of our school.  In typical Lowell fashion, the last several weeks have been filled with examples of the powerful partnership our school enjoys with our families and community.  From our very well-attended parent-teacher conferences, to a wildly successful PTA Jog-a-Thon, an inspiring PTA Reflections program, a Learning Garden that is figuratively and literally thriving, and an on-going Meet the Masters curriculum to inspire our students’ artistic talents, our students are indeed fortunate to benefit from everyone’s contribution of time, talent and treasure.

On another note, as the Holiday Season gets into full swing, I want to wish the entire Lowell community peace, health and joy.  While there are sure to be countless memories made with family and friends, and plenty of time to reminisce about wonderful memories from the past, this time of year can also bring a bit of stress.  Here are some things that experts agree help to reduce stress (not only for our kids, but for their parents, tooJ):

1. Listen to calm music to reduce cortisol (a hormone associated with stress)
2. Eat right, avoiding fatty foods and replacing them with fresh fruits and vegetables
3. Breathe deeply for five minutes (shallow breathing actually causes stress!),
4. Watch your favorite comedy movie to produce stress-reducing endorphins,
5. Exercise – even for a minute, it can instantaneously improve your mood,
6. Get at least seven to eight hours of sleep – perhaps the best stress-reliever available (but also the hardest to do, especially if you have active young ones, like in my houseJ)

I hope that everyone has a wonderful, stress-free Holiday Season, and I look forward to a new year, full of success and happiness for each of our Lowell sea star scholars and their families!

With Gratitude,

 Sam Platis
