  • Where I find comfort…

    I read a funny little quip on social media early into our social distancing period that lamented our human response of ‘being over it’. The post then acknowledged that the only beings in our homes truly happy about everyone being in these close quarters are our pets.

     

    In the Hinote household, we have 3 dogs, yes, three dogs. As someone who didn’t grow up with many pets, and neverhad pets in the house, my dogs are kings of our home. They have the run of the yard and every room, and they couldn’t be happier to have me with them.

     

    As many of you know, I have just finished a weeks-long recovery from surgery, and after a brief stint back at work, like you, I am back at home. I am trying to figure out how to work at a distance from school and how to maintain a schedule. I am also trying to stay healthy, both physically and mentally.

     

    If you have pets at home, I am sure that you feel the same way about yours that I do about the three of mine. In an April 2018 Psychology Today article, the benefits of having pets are outlined. While I am not advocating pet ownership, I do think this is a wonderful time to be reminded that the furry members of our households can help us.

     

    • Stress Relief: In a study with college students who had the opportunity to interact with therapy dogs, as many as ten hours later, participants reported less negative emotion and less stress.
    • Empathy and Comfort: Studies indicate that dogs sense emotions, both good ones and bad ones. They are drawn to us, especially when we need them. Dogs are often reported to remain at the side of a human who might need them.
    • Decrease Loneliness and Depression: At a time when we are physically distanced from each other, and social media does not replace needed face-to-face interactions, studies also show that pet owners have a lower rate of depression.

     

    My dogs have been by my side these past four weeks and are competing for lap space with my laptop. I am extremely grateful for them, and I do believe they lower my anxiety and help with my overall outlook.

     

    Rely on your pets for these great benefits, and give your fur babies a hug from me!

     

    Fondly, Jennifer

  • COVID-19

    March 13, 2020

    In a world where there is a run on toilet paper, suspension or cancellation of sporting events, concerts and Broadway have darkened their doors, and Disney has closed its gates, we would like to offer some tips on what to do to not only prepare for COVID-19, but to deal with it, if it hits close to home.

    We have all heard the best ways to avoid contracting the virus. WASH YOUR HANDS! Sounds simple, right? But more than that, wash them properly and sing your ABC’s or that really cool song you have seen online to make sure you do it long enough. Cough and sneeze in your elbow and if soap and water is not readily available then grab that hand sanitizer to use throughout the day. Don’t go in public if you are sick or even feel sickness coming on and practice social distancing. Although most adults and children will experience only mild symptoms with COVID-19, there are those who are at high risk and it is important to do what we can do to keep this virus from spreading.

    If you or a family member does contract the virus, here are a few helpful items you should have on hand to help with symptoms.

    Kleenex—let’s face it, you’ll be using a lot of these.
    Acetaminophen (Tylenol) in 350 mg tablets
    Ibuprofen (Advil) in 200 mg tablets
    Mucinex, Robitussin or DayQuil/NyQuil (whatever your cold/cough medicine of choice is)

    Cough Drops
    A humidifier is also good, but not a must have, as turning your shower on hot and sitting in a steamy bathroom can open your airways.
    Go ahead and prep some sick day foods like a big batch of soup (or stock up on canned ones), crackers, bread for toast or your favorite food when you are feeling under the weather.
    If you have a history of asthma make sure you have your inhaler on hand. If you are in need of a refill contact your doctor.

    Once your first symptoms start, begin a medicine regime using those listed above. Rotate Tylenol and Advil for fevers, use cough expectorants and suppressants and drink lots and lots of water. Rest. Don’t feel it is necessary to visit the doctor or ER immediately, but if you do feel you have COVID-19 contact your healthcare professional for advice on next steps.

    As this virus continues to spread, we urge you to use caution and practice good health. Do not panic! Stay tuned to our website for updates on our school community.

  • Social and Emotional Learning during COVID-19 and Beyond

    Clarksville Academy believes in providing support students need in and out of the classroom. According to The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), “Social and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults acquire and effectively apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. The closing of school may trigger some serious emotions in your home, and the implementation of some of these strategies may help your child cope while out of school.

    It is important to know how to help your child. Let them know it is okay to be nervous, and you are there to support them. Children look to adults for guidance on how to react to stressful events.  Please reassure your child health and school officials are working diligently to ensure that people stay healthy.  However, children need factual, age appropriate information about the potential risks and appropriate preventive measures.

    Be mindful of what your child is being exposed to on social media, news, and personal conversations. Talking with your child about their fears and giving them a sense of some control can help reduce anxiety. Parents can support their children by being available, remaining calm, and reassuring them.  We encourage your child to turn off the television, play a family game, journal, read a book, and monitor technology. Twenty-four hour news coverage feeds anxiety and fear in children.

    It is comforting to many children to remain in a routine. Have a family schedule where you carve out time during the day for schoolwork, chores, physical activity, and encourage them to be consistent with the schedule.  If you feel you need additional support, please reach out to the counseling office at counseling@clarksvilleacademy.com.

    Youth In Government

    Clarksville Academy had over 30 students participate in the annual YMCA Youth in Government Conference from Thursday-Sunday of the past week. Students wrote legislative bills on a variety of topics and presented them in either the House or the Senate. Student Congressional members and Senators then voted on the presented bills. If the Senate and House passed a bill, it was sent to the student led Governor’s Cabinet and signed into YIG law by the student Governor. This was a wonderful learning opportunity for our students and CA showed up big. See below for a list of our highlights:

    • Will Mabry and John Knight served on the Governor’s Cabinet
    • Bella Allen and Caroline Johnston named to Leadership positions in next year’s Blue Senate—Bella will serve as Sergeant at Arms and Caroline will serve as Chief Clerk.
    • Caroline Giles and Caroline Pennington passed Legislation in the Red House and were awarded Outstanding Bill in the Red House.
    • Bella Allen and Caroline Johnston passed Legislation that was signed into law by the YIG Governor and were awarded Outstanding Bill in the Blue Senate.
    • Zoe Drake was awarded Outstanding Delegate.
    • Noah Goble and Zoe Drake also passed Legislation that was signed into law by the YIG Governor.
    • Hailey Ray and Selby Shipley argued cases before the Supreme Court.
    • Izzy Stapp and Haley Shannon had Legislation passed by the White Senate.
    • Victoria Hilfiker and Nikki Harnage had Legislation passed by the White Senate.
    • Jiya Patel, Molly Clark, and Katie Thrash had Legislation passed by the Blue House.

They will play Middle TN Christian at home tonight! Cost is $7. We need your support!!!

    Wrestling –  Annalynn Rackett is the first girl in school history to advance to the State Wrestling competition. A Sophomore, Annalynn has been wrestling for two years. She got into the sport after participating in Jiu Jitsu recreationally. Her favorite part about wrestling are the bonds she has made with teammates and all the memories she has made. When asked her thoughts about wrestling, she stated, “As you wrestle, you learn new things about yourself and your limitations, you also get to create amazing bonds with the people you share your time with.” Her record is 24-2 for the season and she is the first Girls Region Champion, and State Qualifier for our school. The state wrestling tournament is different from all other sports in TSSAA. In this sport you compete against all school in Tennessee, public and private. Annalynn will face competition from across the state, many with longstanding programs. We want to wish her the best of luck as she competes Friday and Saturday. Stay tuned to our social media accounts for updates throughout the day.
