This Weeks Most Popular IDEAS
The student suggestion of the week is written by Student Advisory Council!
Madilyn W was looking at her webmail, and she was thinking about how helpful it would be to have an alert system for live lessons, dead lines, and tasks in general.
So for example when you get a webmail there could be a bubble by "move to" that says "Remind me" and what this button will do is at whatever time you say to remind you it will send you a webmail.
Or instead of sending you a webmail, the reminder could be added to your planner or to-do list.

This goes in line with a previous student suggestions the newsletter has received about webmail alerts! So here's some more suggestions:
- Although I always recommend off-system task systems, if they implemented alerts and custom schedule alerts through the browsers notification-- it would be useful!
- Adding an alert/"remind-me" button to the webmail would probably be for webmail only- unless it opens another tab to the planner where you'd set up the planner tasks yourself.
- I will still recommend other systems like Lifeat.io (which is safe) for ambience, tasks recording, and pomodoros all in one place!

Halee A feels that the media in the lessons are outdated, such a the Teachlet tutorial videos. From the clothes in the video, to the dull voice that narrates them. Halee feels like Pearson can update the media in courses.

You are correct about older videos / pictures! A casual reminder to all student that the Connections brand has been around for a while. Here's some ideas:
- Third-party sources for classes are welcomed but underappreciated for difficult classes like mathematics and social sciences. However I recommend asking your teacher about what you could watch!
- Some of these videos are getting updated! Like World History A/B or some of the science courses!
- Honestly we should just appreciate that the content has been updated upon request-- what we ask for gets the next generation ready for online learning. So keep on sending in requests!!

“Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.” —Mark Twain
- Try having a friend over! They can help you with focusing. Study groups are also beneficial, and you can all help each other with your work.

tips & reminders
Phones. We all love them. But while we all love scrolling and texting, they can be a distraction. Try putting your phone in an out of reach spot, or give it to a friend or family member until you’re done with work.

You can top this with cheese, broccoli or even bacon!
Adding a bit of salt can enhance the flavor!
Alternatively, you can put it in the oven for 40-60 minutes at 400 Fahrenheit.

Mental Illness Representation of the week-
Practice gratitude. Taking a few moments each day to reflect on what you’re thankful for can significantly boost your mood and overall outlook on life. Start by writing down three things you're grateful for every day, or simply think about them during a quiet moment. This can help shift your focus from what's lacking or stressful to what's abundant and positive in your life.

Cosplay
Cosplay
This week's written works is about cosplay. Have you ever heard of it? People dress as their favorite characters and go to conventions, or just on outings. Cosplay is inclusive and versatile. People of all skin, size, and gender can do it.
People from all over the world attend conventions to showcase their costumes and meet other cosplayers. It's a great way to connect with people who share the same interests! Cosplay is a chance to be someone else for a day and let your imagination run wild. Whether you're wearing a full-body suit or just a wig, whether you're 80 or 8, whether you're cereal-then milk or vice versa, cosplay is for everyone. So grab your Halloween costume, and let your imagination soar!
