Wellness Tip of the Week!
Do you yearn for the days when your child was younger and they were eager to spend time with you playing a game or going on a hike? Does it seem like now all they do is say “leave me alone!” or “Go away mom (or dad)!” This is rather typical teenage behavior. But there are ways to connect with your teen. You just have to be open to connecting when they are available and that may happen when you least desire it! For example, my teenage daughter would often decide she wanted to talk right when I was ready to go to bed and she was getting ready to take her shower! Sometimes kids will want to talk when we are riding together in the car. Look for opportunities to connect. We may get tired of our children asking us to get them some food or something to drink, as we think they should be doing it for themselves. But if we can look at that time as an opportunity to connect with them, it can help us get out of a potential power struggle. -Sarah Edmonds, PhD, Certified Practitioner of Coherence Therapy

Blues & Brews - Volunteers Needed:
Hello all.
Blues and Brews Festival is coming up the second weekend of June
.
FALA is a beneficiary of the festival again.
Last year we received over $10K from the festival and this year it is an extra day, so we're hoping for even more.
In order to continue to be a beneficiary however, it is our responsibility to supply about 30 volunteers.
As of right now, we are low on the count and that does not look very good for us for future festivals.
If as many of you as possible could please sign up for just one shift (
B/B Volunteer Signup
) that would be very helpful.
This is one of the simplest and quickest ways for us to raise a large sum of money, and we'd like to keep this relationship going as long as we can.
In addition, the festival has given us 10 free tickets for each day.
If you sign up for a shift, we are giving these away to use to bring a guest.
And of course, for students, this counts as Service Hours.

Limit Lunch Waste:
FALA has received metal forks from the local non-profit group The Azulita Project
to replace the plastic forks used at lunch.
FALA used on average 30 plastic forks a day (which equates to 5,400 plastic forks a school year), most of which was discarded after a single use.
On its first day of using metal forks, FALA students returned 100% of the metal forks! Good work, FALA, for being the change we wish to see.
If you want to help FALA continue to be green, volunteer to wash the forks for some service hours
- like Brandon Osuna and Mazzy David!

Youth Conservation Corps:
The Youth Conservation Corps program (YCC) introduces members ages 17-18 to community service and resource conservation
through hands-on project work with the Coconino National Forest, Flagstaff Ranger District. Projects will include: trail construction and maintenance, as well as historic preservation. Through the projects, members gain on-the-ground conservation work experience, technical trainings, and work skills development. Through the crew experience, participants develop teamwork, communication, and leadership skills. Members work alongside public land agency professionals which provides career development and exposure to future jobs. Participants in the YCC program receive a weekly living stipend and an AmeriCorps education award upon successful completion of their term of service.
