MCHS Virtual Commons-Check it out!

 The uncertainty and disruption to our normal routines that we are currently facing because of COVID-19 can have a major impact on how we feel, our mental health.  Increased feelings of stress, anxiety, irritability and isolation are common.  

It is important to recognize the signs of stress in ourselves and others so we may take steps to reduce the impact.  Below you will find the link to a guide on handling the stress of a national health crisis from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/daily-life-coping/stress-coping/young-adults.html 

This guide provides both the signs of stress and healthy coping skills that can be used to help.  If you feel you are experiencing distress and need to talk with a professional, please remember we have mental health counselors on staff, Mrs. Losser and Mr. Durr, who would be glad to talk with you or help you find resources.  If you have any mental health questions or concerns you may e-mail either of them.

The Governor's School for Entrepreneurs (GSE) will begin accepting applications for summer 2021 on Monday, Nov. 16. GSE brings teens together from across Kentucky, immerses them in a creative space, and arms them with the tools they need to unleash their entrepreneurial spirits. Participants gain vital entrepreneurial skills through the program to use as they enter the workplace or continue into higher education, and they develop a valuable network of mentors and fellow entrepreneurs. In addition, as a direct result of their participation in GSE, entrepreneurs qualify for some $3 million in scholarship opportunities from Kentucky's universities and colleges.

11 new businesses have been launched by young alumni of the GSE program. Others have filed for multiple patents and developed new ideas and relationships that sow the seeds for more business formation.

GSE has scheduled virtual events on Hopin this fall for prospective applicants and their families to learn about the GSE experience and dive into the application process. The link to register is below, as well as the schedule for events.
