Headspace Thursdays and Scrabble Club
Headspace Thursdays
Looking to reduce stress and relax? Join Mr. Helsabeck on Thursday mornings for a dose of meditation to help you find the perfect headspace to finish out the week strong! Meditation has the potential to help you find more joy, catch your breath, relax your mind, and feel less stressed. What better way is there to start your day! We’ll meet on the front steps of Deal at 8:15 am each Thursday and walk together to COT10, Mr. Helsabeck’s classroom, where we will utilize Headspace, Calm, YouTube creators, and other sources for a morning dose of meditation for middle schoolers. Ohhhhhhmmmmmm.
Scrabble Club
The Deal Scrabble Club is back! Students will learn words, tactics, and strategy in the classic board game—with an opportunity to compete in tournaments, including a national championship. The club is led by former Deal parent Stefan Fatsis, author of the book "Word Freak" about the world of competitive Scrabble, and Deal special education reading support teacher Quisetter White. Join us Mondays after school from 3:30-4:30. Our introductory meeting will be Monday, November 1, in the cafeteria.
