College Resource Roundup

5 days ago

The covid-19 global outbreak is creating local cascading effects on the nonprofits that serve our community.Unfortunately, this includes the cancellation of theJuly 2020 "Grant Napear's Fairway to the Future" golf event.The was a difficult decision, as this event is a very important annual fundraiser for the Future Foundation of Sacramento scholarship and mentoring program. Even though our golf event will be absent this year, our program and funding needs are still very present. This public health crisis is displacing students and creating new urgent needs for our students.

In lieu of an event sponsorship this year, we hope you will consider contributing a 100% charitable donation to help ensure we may continue to fund necessary college scholarships for exceptional and deserving students who are eager to succeed and achieve in education.

Folsom Cordova Unified School DistrictAs we head into our second full week of school closures, the District, its teachers, and its staff members continue to work hard behind the scenes to transition to a distance learning model and support our families and students during this challenging time.

Our full update today includes answers to common questions about our plans for distance learning.

But we also wanted to take a moment to share this heartfelt message of encouragement recorded by Student Board Member Scarlett Kniznik, a senior at Folsom High School.

Folsom Cordova Unified School DistrictBefore we dive into today’s COVID-19 update, let’s pause for a mindful moment. It’s been a stressful week for everyone in the Folsom Cordova community, so we thought we’d offer you something simple you can do, right now - with your loved ones, or alone - to help you de-stress heading into the weekend:

Gratitude: In the midst of widespread uncertainty, and as we embark on a whole new way of engaging with each other (at home, at work, and virtually) there is no better time to sift through all of the unknowns to identify what we can be thankful for. Gratitude is more than just saying “thank you” to someone who has been helpful; in fact, researchers consider it a “life orientation,” where feelings of gratitude stem from noticing and appreciating the positive things in life (Wood et al., 2010).

This mindset of gratitude can be especially helpful during periods of stress and transition (very much like what we’re experiencing now!).

People who regularly practice gratitude experience more:
-positive emotions,
-feel more alive,
-sleep better,
-express more compassion and kindness, and
-even have stronger immune systems.

Your District leadership team - appropriately socially distanced, of course - is trying this particular mindful practice today and would love to have you join us! Find a scrap of paper, or use a note taking app on your smartphone, and make a list of things you are grateful for.

Covid-19 – Education Update – Managing Uncertainty – Future Sacramento

Tips for How to Manage Concern About the Coronavirus
Vague updates create a feeling of continued anxiety about Covid-19. Here are five ways to help how this affects you.

Anxiety can be healthy.It alerts us to potential threats and helps us move toward safety. If you are feeling some anxiety right now, that makes sense. You’re having the right reaction to the emerging news about the coronavirus. Channel that discomfort into useful action, such as learning about and following the recommended health guidelines.

Build perspective. Do no overestimate the dangers or underestimate your ability to protect yourself from those dangers. There is a lot you can do to lower your risk – such as keeping your hands clean, not touching your face, avoid anyone who might be coughing or sneezing, and protect your immune system by getting enough sleep and eating healthy foods. Social distancing guidelines for our community are your best action to protect yourself.

Shift your direction. Turn your attention to supporting others. Health recommendations not only to protect you, but also to help to ease the strain on local medical systems and lower infection risks for the more vulnerable. Your sacrifice to stay home and cancel plans with groups or gatherings is helping others by slowing or stopping the virus reaching your close community.

Welcome healthy distractions. When we fixate on dangers, anxiety grows, and when we turn our attention elsewhere, it shrinks. Try to not compulsively check for news updates. Avoid ambiguous information as it does nothing to reduce anxiety. Remember to not rely on rumors or unreliable sources. Seek reassurance and facts. Take breaks from news updates (on purpose or accidentally encountering on social media or through friends) – for example, check once a day for most recent updates until you feel more calm.

If you need help, ask.
