  • Scroll through the App Store and discover some really cool apps

  • If you’re missing the seniors… watch the recordings of chapel talks (up on Canvas) and read through this year’s online yearbook

  • Make face-masks and share them with your frontline worker relatives (there is also the no-sew version)

  • Make cookies and brownies, but give them a twist with unconventional flavors!

  • Practice random acts of kindness to your family and friends

  • Try reading from a news website that you normally do not read from, and see how you feel about it and if there is anything different from the news websites that you normally go to. 

  • Do a book swap with your family or try reading your friend’s favorite book\

  • Do a diet swap with your friend– text each other what each of you would typically eat in a day and try each other’s diet for a day

  • Educate yourself more about racism (emails from Ms. Adams and Ms. Roussinos also provide very helpful resources)

  • Toss out all of your expired products or search if there are any ways to reuse them (for example, you can turn your expired moisturizer into a body scrub)

  • Sign up for cool online classes (and not more zoom math or English classes). Think of it as our Saturday classes, but only more diverse and self-paced!  Some of the coolest classes. Two recommendations are : Mental floss and Teachthought

  • Have a campfire at back-yard

  • Compare yourself to the teenage photos of your parents and/or grandparents

  • Make your own book… like Dr. Harwood is doing right now!

  • Make your own bath bombs and take a nice bath

  • Take a virtual museum tour.

  • Order cheap at-home movie projectors and set up a home movie theatre

  • Tired of staring at the screen all day long? Go on a 24-hour digital detox (off your phone and social media for 24 hours) 

  • Enjoy your summer!
