Breathing Classes
Breathing classes will be offered before school and last approximately 15 minutes. These classes focus on topics of anxiety, stress, emotions, self-care, personal growth, inner peace and resilience while teaching breathing techniques. They help students find a calm and focus before class.
   
Relaxation Classes
Relaxation classes promote deep rest and relaxation. Body scans and breath awareness are used to calm the nervous system leading to less stress and better health. Essentially these classes are "active" naps.
   
Movement Classes
Movement classes combine a physical practice with breathing techniques to strengthen muscles and relieve stress. Similar to breathing classes, movement classes focus on topics of anxiety, stress, emotions, self-care, personal growth, inner peace and resilience.
Encourage your students to sign-up!
INTERNATIONAL SKILLS DIPLOMA SEALINTSKILLS
Dear Milton Senior Students and Parents/Guardians,
Last year, our school was approved to award the International Skills Diploma Seal to qualifying seniors. Why this Diploma Seal? According to the Georgia Department of Education, who is awarding the ISDS, they believe that in today's global marketplace, it is important for students to acquire the interdisciplinary skills they need to be globally competent and competitive. The International Skills Diploma Seal is awarded to graduating high school students who complete an international education curriculum and engage in extracurricular activities and experiences that foster the achievement of global competencies. It is a signal to employers and higher education institutions that a student is prepared to participate in the global economy. You can review the complete information about the International Skills Diploma Seal at: https://www.gadoe.org/Curriculum-Instruction-and-Assessment/Curriculum-and-Instruction/Pages/International-Skills-Diploma-Seal.aspx 
If you are a senior who is interested in pursuing this Diploma Seal, please complete the intent form (see below) and submit it to Dr. Glymph by February 18, 2020 in the AP Office 1360. You can also obtain this form and turn it in to one of the World Language Teachers. Then all coursework credits will be verified by the counselors. Once records are verified, students will be notified and invited to attend the informational meeting about the Capstone Presentation, February 24, 2020. The Capstone Presentation is a student reflection on his/her cross-cultural experiences, learned international skills, and competencies. Students will have a choice for the presentation format (video, presentation, performance, journal reading). The Capstone Presentation will take place on March 17, 2020 in front of the International Skills Diploma Seal Committee. Students who are absent or sick will have one more chance to present their Capstone Presentation on March 25, 2020. A list of the final International Skills Diploma Seal Candidates will be submitted to the GA DOE in April of 2020. Students receiving the ISDS will be recognized at the Award Assembly TBA and will receive the Seal during Milton High School Graduation Ceremony in May.
