Calling all Rising 5th and 6th Graders

We invite our rising middle grade parents and students to come discover Evergreen’s Middle School Program!

UPDATE: We have rescheduled for February 26th. Hopefully this will allow more of you to come get to know our Middle School Teachers and chat with the Middle School Admin, SJ Smith.

Girls On the Run

Girls on the Run season will start the week of Feb 16th and run through May 3rd on Tuesdays and Thursdays each week, from 3p-5p.

We still need one more coach for Thursdays to make this season happen.

Grandfriends’ Day - February 13th @ 9am

The invitations have gone out! Want to make sure your folks were on the list? Please drop their info on this form.

Grandfriends Day is going to be a little different this year because we’re moving it a bit earlier in the day. The event will run from 9am-11am. This is important because it means that if your Grandfriend takes your child home/out after the event it is too early in the day to count toward attendance, and they would be marked absent for the day. Please encourage your Grandfriend to come- but to leave students to complete their school day!

Send some love to your favorite Evergreeners!

Know your loved ones won’t be able to make it? They can still send their love on the day by participating in our sliding-scale Spread The Love Fundraiser!

We hope to have a great turnout this year! So help us spread the word to Grandparents, Aunts and Uncles, Chosen Family, Beloved Neighbors, or Friends! All are welcome to spend the day with their favorite Evergreener/s!

Taking Care of Yourself So You Can Take Care of Your Children

Over the past several years, and especially in recent months, many families have experienced ongoing uncertainty, stress, and moments that feel overwhelming or even frightening. From the lasting impact of the COVID pandemic to hurricane Helene, social unrest, political division, and concerns about safety and the future, it’s understandable if you feel unsettled.

Parents and caregivers are carrying heavy emotional loads while trying to stay strong for their children. If that’s you, please know this: you are not alone, and it’s okay to acknowledge how hard this is.

Uncertainty Is Hard—for Adults and Children

Many parents ask thoughtful, important questions:

How do I talk to my child about what’s happening in the world in an age-appropriate way?
Should I bring up difficult topics if my child hasn’t asked?
What if my child is anxious but doesn’t want to worry me?
How do I help my child feel safe when I don’t have all the answers?

These questions don’t mean you’re doing something wrong—they mean you care deeply!

Put Your Own Oxygen Mask on First

You can’t pour from an empty cup! Self-care isn’t selfish, it’s essential. When adults are grounded and supported, children benefit too.
Chronic stress can take a toll on the body and mind over time (often called allostatic load). That’s why ongoing, intentional self-care matters, not just for you, but for your family.
Care for your mental and emotional health by noticing feelings without judgment and expressing them in healthy ways (talking with someone you trust, journaling, prayer, or professional support).
Support your spiritual well-being through grounding practices like meditation, prayer, time in nature, or quiet reflection.
Protect your physical health by prioritizing sleep, hydration, movement, nourishing food, and routine health care.
Build small daily habits: keep balanced routines, spend time outdoors, limit news and social media, connect and laugh with others, do something that brings you joy, and practice kindness—toward others and yourself.

Modeling Matters

Children learn as much from what we do as from what we say. When they see adults setting boundaries, coping in healthy ways, and asking for support, they learn it’s okay to do the same. When you care for your mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical well-being, you are better equipped to support your child.

We hope the following resources support you as you create intentional time and space for your well-being:

Remember: taking care of yourself is one of the most powerful ways you can take care of your child.
