BACK TO SCHOOL!
We hope everyone enjoyed a refreshing summer and had the chance to spend time outdoors. As the school year approaches, the Youth Team has partnered with local organizations to support back-to-school efforts, including distributing supplies and connecting with youth and their families.
To help ease the transition into the school routine, here are a few simple tips:
1. Establish a consistent sleep schedule – Aim for regular bedtimes and wake-up times to stay well-rested.
2. Create a dedicated study space – Minimize distractions by setting up a quiet, organized area for schoolwork.
3. Set realistic goals and stay positive – Use daily, weekly, or monthly goals to stay focused. (Refer to our S.M.A.R.T. goals activity.)
We also want to remind families about the Johnson O’Malley (JOM) program, available to tribal members and descendants. For more information or to apply, please visit the PITU Youth page on the Tribe’s website or speak with a Youth Team member.
