Lee's Summit CARES

The holiday season can be a challenging time for many people. Taking the time to check in on others or perform small acts of kindness can truly brighten someone's day. Here are some ways you can promote kindness and care in your community: - Donate old winter coats, gloves, and socks to a local charity. - Buy a coffee for someone. - Give a gift card to your teacher. - Contribute canned goods to a food drive. What are some other ways you can pay it forward? Let us know in the comments below! #lscareitforward #lscares #lscaresforall #leessummit #lsmo

As the holidays approach, the season can bring stress and anxiety. However, there are many ways to help manage these feelings. Here are ways you can improve your mood and reduce stress: Plan Ahead - If it's helpful for you, create a schedule that will help you stay organized. This can include shopping lists, meal plans, and tasks to keep you on track. Set Realistic Expectations - It's easy to get caught up in all the small details. Remember that you can't do everything, so focus on what really matters to you and your loved ones. This might involve setting a budget for gifts, delegating tasks, or asking for help. Limit social media use - Scrolling on social media can create unrealistic comparisons for yourself. Instead, do your best to limit screen time and focus on your family's holiday experience. Take A Break - It's common for many people to get overwhelmed during the holidays, so don't forget to take some time for yourself. Practicing self-care, mindfulness, staying active, or treating yourself can significantly help reduce stress. Which coping strategy helps you?

During our Mayor's Character Breakfast in January, we took time to acknowledge and share the stories of our Character Award Recipients. At this time, we'd like to share our Respect Award Winner - Jamar Mozee! Jamar Mozee is the head coach of Lee's Summit North football team. He is a great coach and leader who treats his team and students like a family. One of the few students who nominated Jamar noted that when they are in weight training class and its PR Day, he always supports the athletes and pushes them to be their best. He has built such an established reputation for the football team which shows in the offers his players get from different colleges all over America. This gives so many young men great opportunities that can help build the foundations for their lives after college. He has brought together this huge family in the football community. The stands are packed every Friday night for these games and it's because of this huge program he has built on respect, and that has brought thousands of people together. Congratulations, Jamar! We thank you for your admirable work ethic, exemplifying respect, and being a positive role model in the community. | | | | | | Would you like to nominate someone for the next upcoming Mayor's Character Breakfast?
