This is a great time for prospective students to ask about Stinger sports, clubs, student government, theater, or whatever is on their minds about becoming part of The Seven Hills School. Parents of  prospective Middle and Upper School students will have a chance to talk with current parents as well.

Creating Conversations

Bedtime and sleep are recurring themes that have grabbed the attention of people of all ages, especially now. Seven Hills’ counseling department hosted a two-part Zoom Sleep Discussion in December and early January. During the early January Zoom event, Behavioral psychologist Dr. Sarah Skoch shared her thoughts on the sleep habits of teens and how parents can help their older children get more quality rest at night. Skoch said many people, young and old, have had trouble getting to sleep because quarantine has placed them in a new, unknown routine. Skoch said those who are developing insomnia or waking up in the middle of the night should think about a more structured bedtime routine. “Go to bed earlier,” said Skoch. “Sometimes 30 minutes makes a difference. Over the course of weeks, that can add up to a significant sleep deficit, if you aren’t getting those extra minutes.” Register now for Seven Hills’ next and final Creating Conversations speaker series event for the 2020-21 school year, “Mindful Classrooms” with early childhood educator and author James Butler. To register and for more information about Seven Hills’ speaker series, please contact Angie Bielecki, school counseling department chair, at 513.728.2326 or angie.bielecki@7hills.org.
