Sea Kings,
This year we are introducing a new weekly newsletter called "Tyner's Top 10" in honor of our principal Dr. Tyner. Each week Dr. Tyner will focus on 10 things happening here at PVHS to highlight our students, staff, and all of the amazing things happening on campus. We will also show the upcoming week at a glance with information about any bell schedules or main events happening on campus.
Enjoy!

Our brand new Mindfulness class is off to a great start. Introduction to Mindfulness is a year-long (UC approved “G” elective) course that introduces mindfulness, the science surrounding it, and careers associated with it. Students will develop a personal mindfulness practice for stress resilience and learn to improve self and social awareness, relationships and decision making. Interested?

PVHS is lucky to have two student support specialists on campus, Ms. De La Rosa and Ms. Washington! Students can stop by the wellness center at any point to say hi, take a break, or get some homework done after school. The Wellness Center is a safe space for all students and is located next to the main office.

During the month of September all students have the opportunity to play
PV High BINGO.
The rules are simple, complete as many BINGOs (up, across, diagonal) as you can in a month. Each BINGO you complete is another chance at a prize. Prizes include red tide gear, free homecoming dance tickets, and more. Every time they complete a task, they will get a signature to verify completion.
All BINGO cards will be turned in at the end of the month to the office and winners will be chosen then.
Good luck Sea Kings!

Health and Wellness
Welcome back to the beginning of the 2018-19 school year. Thanks to the interest and concern the PVPUSD administration, I have been asked to write a weekly column addressing emotional, behavioral, drug, and alcohol issues, and we are hoping to help you navigate through some issues and challenges that many teens and families face. My goal is to provide clear, and helpful insights and suggestions, on topics such as depression, suicide, cutting, anxiety, social media, latest drug use, vaping, alcohol use as well as to provide tips for increasing well-being, self-esteem, positive thinking, and happiness. Whew! That covers a lot!
As a psychologist practicing for 42 years in this community, I have a good amount of knowledge and insight that I would like to share with you. In addition, we would like to know what topics or questions you would like to see addressed. You can submit anything you would like to be covered t to
askdrgelbart@gmail.com
. Your inquiries will always remain anonymous.
When children experience difficulties, it generally takes parents months, if not years, to become clearly aware of the problems they are having. A goal of this column will be to increase awareness and knowledge, and decrease the time it takes to provide the proper assistance. I look forward to your feedback, your questions, and to a great year.
Moe Gelbart, PhD

Executive Director, Thelma McMillen Center
