Teacher Appreciation Week!

Here at Evergreen we do everything just a little differently and the same goes for Teacher Appreciation Week! The National Week of recognition is next week, but since 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th & 8th Grades are on End of Year Trips next week it seems unfair for us to have a Teacher Appreciation Week when almost half of our teachers would not be here to enjoy it. We end up scheduling an alternate week almost every year, and this year, that falls on:

May 18th-22nd.

Please stay tuned for ways to get involved in this week of celebrating our wonderful teachers!

May: Balancing the Busy with Mental Wellness

May at Evergreen is a whirlwind. Between end-of-grade testing, field trips, final projects, and celebrations, it’s easy for students and families to feel stretched thin. That’s what makes it especially meaningful that May is also Mental Health Awareness Month.

This can be a great month to make space for meaningful conversations with your student/family about the importance of Mental Health. Mental health is something we all have, and is just as important as our physical health! We invite you to learn about tips and resources to stamp out stigma. 

Open, honest conversations help reduce stigma and remind our students that it’s okay not to be okay and that support is always available. We encourage you to take the opportunity to check in with your child about how they’re doing. Sharing your own experiences and "holding space" for theirs can help normalize these important discussions.

Note:  We will be recognizing Mental Health Awareness Week May 11-15  right here at Evergreen!

  • Wear Green: We invite everyone to wear green on Wednesday, May 13th to show support and remind our community that we’re in this together. 💚

Get Involved: Check out the graphic below for other ways to participate throughout the week. 💚

Sunbucks will be available Summer 2026!

Health Benefits of Nature

Time Outside is More Than Just Fun, It’s a Healthy Choice!

As the days grow longer and everything begins to bloom, this time of year offers a natural opportunity to step outside and recognize the beauty and flow of life around us. Spending time in nature is more than just a seasonal activity–it’s a simple, powerful, and usually free (!!!) way to support both physical and mental well-being for children and adults alike. In fact, intentional time outside has a multitude of whole-health benefits, such as:

  • Physical Health: Outdoor environments invite natural movement which supports strength, coordination, and overall health. Whether it’s walking, climbing, playing, or exploring, moving our bodies on a regular basis also supports health and longevity for our muscles, bones, and joints.

  • Sleep Health: Fresh air and sunlight can help regulate sleep patterns and boost energy levels. 

  • Emotional Health: Nature has a grounding, calming effect on the body and mind. Spending time outdoors can help reduce feelings of stress, frustration, and overwhelm, while supporting a more positive mood. Even brief time outside has been linked to reduced stress hormones and improved immune functioning. For children specifically, regular access to outdoor time is associated with increased emotional regulation, fewer behavioral challenges, and a greater sense of overall well-being.

  • Cognitive (mental + brain) Health: Stepping away from busy, structured environments and into nature gives the brain a chance to reset. Outdoor time has been shown to improve attention, focus, problem-solving skills, and frustration tolerance. This can be especially helpful for students who may feel mentally fatigued or overstimulated during the school day. 

  • Learning & Development: Nature-based play encourages curiosity, creativity, and flexible thinking. Whether children are building, imagining, or exploring, they are developing important skills that support both academic learning and social growth. Time outdoors can also promote cooperation, communication, and confidence.

As we enter this season of growth and renewal, consider finding small ways to incorporate nature into your family’s routine. Whether it’s an after-dinner walk, time at a local park, or simply playing outside for a few extra minutes, these intentional moments for connecting to the natural world around us can have a positive impact on our health and well-being. So ditch those screens and SPRING into better health for your mind, body, and heart space by getting outside, connecting with nature, and experiencing all of its magnificence around us.

“Post- Spring Break Blues”: Navigating the Return to Routine

We hope your family had a restful spring break! As students return to school, it’s normal to see a mix of emotions, including excitement, fatigue, and sometimes anxiety about getting back into routines. The "Post-Spring Break Blues" are common, but for some students they may feel overwhelming, showing up as reluctance to attend school or difficulty re-engaging.

Signs Your Child May Be Struggling:

  • Hesitation or refusal to go to school

  • Frequent complaints of stomachaches or headaches

  • Increased need for reassurance or difficulty separating

  • Trouble focusing or feeling overwhelmed

  • Changes in mood, such as irritability or withdrawal

As we enter the final stretch of the school year, we want to partner with you to ensure every student feels supported and ready to learn. Here are some ways to support a smooth transition back and for the remainder of the year: 

  • Check In and Validate: Keep conversations open and supportive while maintaining clear expectations about attending school

  • Rebuild Routines: Consistent sleep and morning routines help create predictability; preparing the night before can ease stress

  • Use the "Bridge" Technique: Help your child find a "bridge" between home and school by focusing on something they look forward to. Is there a favorite teacher to see, a friend to sit with at lunch, or a club meeting? 

  • Start Small: Encourage manageable goals and celebrate progress

  • Practice Coping Skills: Use strategies like deep breathing and positive self-talk

  • Stay Connected: Reach out to teachers or the school counselor for additional support

If your child continues to struggle, extra support may be helpful. Please don’t hesitate to reach out. As always, we are here to support you and your child.

Sunbucks will be available Summer 2026!

April 2nd

Hi Evergreen,

Spring is in the air and the excitement about spring break is palpable in the halls today. We’re looking forward to seeing you all at student led conferences this evening or tomorrow, and really loved having you all here last week for Exhibition Nights!

Before you leave for spring break, here are a few things on the radar here at school:

As you saw in my email last week, now is a crucial time to advocate for public schools to the NC general assembly - they are about to reconvene for the spring session and it’s vital that they hear from parents and families about how the lack of funding is impacting public schools and our teachers’ well-being! 

In staffing news, James Wilson, who has run EverAfter for years, will be stepping out of that role next year and we will be looking for a new afterschool director. We are going to miss his leadership in the role but are happy that we will still have him as part of the community!

You’ll keep getting reminders, but there are 4 more snow makeup Mondays where we have a 1hr delayed dismissal.

After spring break, time will just start flying and there are lots of events happening! Please stay tuned to hear more about Earth Day and our annual plant sale, end of year trips, the Annual Meeting in May, hiring, staffing, and budgeting updates, teacher/staff appreciation week, End of Grade Testing, and all of the celebratory end of year events! Many of these are already posted on the Evergreen calendar (found on the website and able to be added to your google calendar for ease!) so check it out!

Reminder - check out the Infinite Campus parent portal for child’s Trimester 2 progress report if you haven’t already.

That’s all for now - enjoy conferences, spring break, the warm weather and sunshine, and buckle up for the rest of the school year!!

For more info on the NC Budget Impasse and why it matters for our community, please refer to the “Letter from our Board Chair on NC Budget Impasse” that was sent to families on March 23rd.

It'll take you a few minutes to do that; please plan accordingly so that you are not late to your conference time--your child's teachers' time is both valuable AND limited! If you prefer not to use EverAfter, please keep your children with you, or just outside of whatever classroom you are conferencing in. Unsupervised kids will be sent back to their parents or to the main office. Thanks for keeping kids supervised and safe!
