Time for a nervous system reset. 🌀

In a world that asks us to go faster, healing begins when we choose to slow down. At Ojo Caliente, self-care is more than a moment, it’s a return to balance, rooted in the power of nature and time-honored tradition.

🛁 Thermal soaking for restoration

Immersing yourself in naturally heated geothermal waters helps relieve muscle tension, stimulate circulation, and encourage deep relaxation. The warmth penetrates beyond the body — it soothes the nervous system and signals the mind: it’s time to let go.

🌀 Mineral-rich waters

Each pool at Ojo Caliente Mineral Springs offers a unique blend of 4 unique elements — Iron, Soda, Lithia, and Arsenic. These minerals, absorbed through the skin, have long been revered for their therapeutic and restorative benefits.

🌲 Immersion in nature

Surrounded by high desert mesas and whispering cottonwoods, Ojo is a place where nature does the talking. The landscape invites reflection, grounding you in the present and dissolving the mental clutter of daily life. Every soak becomes a sensory reconnection to the natural world.

🤫 Meditative silence as medicine

In quietude, clarity emerges. Our quiet soaking areas are sacred spaces to listen inward, release mental chatter, and cultivate peace. It’s in stillness that we often find our most profound insights.

This is self-care, a return to what your body and spirit have always known, healing is natural, when we allow it to be.

A chronic challenge of parenthood is managing self-care. Kids, work, friends, community, exercise, relationships, neighbors, elderly parents, the list goes on.

How do I fit in all the demands? Most of us know what we need to do: meditate, exercise, connect with friends, be out-of-doors, eat nutritious food.

We don’t need a list of what to do, we need time to do it. How do I make enough time to nurture my own emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual well-being? Quite simply, you can’t make time. You are gifted 24 hours a day, not a minute more, not a minute less.

The better question might be, How do I manage priorities, so I have some time?

Maybe these questions can help you reflect on your life, consider your priorities, and assist you in sorting things out so you have more space within your 24-hour day to enjoy some self-care, some time to take a walk or a nap, read a book, breath deeply, sit under a tree, connect with a friend, or participate in a sport.

To demonstrate the impact of what can be accomplished through local collaboration, Santa Fe Public Schools (SFPS) and the City of Santa Fe’s Office of Economic Development have combined resources to expand and enhance the SFPS volunteer program.

This partnership reflects a unified vision centered on student success, lifelong learning, and building a stronger, more connected community.

Through a generous investment from the city, SFPS has been able to hire contracted staff to significantly increase the capacity of its volunteer program. With this added support, SFPS can now implement the SFPS Volunteer Program 2024–2027 Strategic Plan by strengthening infrastructure to support and match community volunteers with roles that best suit their interests, schedules, and areas of expertise.

These combined resources enable the expansion of several key initiatives, including the creation of volunteer District committees, school site volunteer teams, and operational support for the Help U Homework Hotline, a free, virtual tutoring program that connects SFPS students with volunteer tutors for academic support across a range of subjects.

Back-to-school season is here!

Here are a few ways to make the transition smoother for everyone:

✅ Start a morning routine now. Ease into earlier wake-ups before the big day.
🗓️ Use a family calendar to keep track of school events, sports, and aftercare.
🍎 Involve kids in prep. Let them help pack lunches or pick outfits to build excitement.
📚 Talk about feelings. Nerves and excitement are both normal!
💤 Prioritize sleep. Rested kids (and parents!) do better all around.

You’ve got this, families!

With the end of the summer season and thoughts of cooler weather that the fall brings, we as parents and caregivers are filled with excitement and anticipation for new beginnings for our children.

The start of a new school year also promises fresh learning possibilities for our young children.

Welcome and gather around for storytelling time focused on a theme of new beginnings that starts today with the Tumbleweeds Book Nook.

The narrative unfolds with fresh and inspiring perspectives for “spying” early math in everyday surroundings, routines, and books.

This theme celebrates and stimulates infants’ and toddlers’ creativity, positive mindset, and self-esteem, all while having fun.

The characters in this story find math in the most unlikely places, hidden all around them and their families, in gardens with its attractive geometric shapes, yards and parks with space for messy water math activities, at grocery stores where numbers are on display in every isle, when preparing meals where counting, comparing quantities, and measuring are front and center, in doing laundry sorting by sizes and shapes and making pairs, and when reading bedtime stories where children count their way to sweet dreams.

I love summer because it gives teachers time to recharge their passion and optimism for another school year.

It gives us time to improve our curricula, consider how to spark interest using current events and trends, and prepare for the strengths, weaknesses, and interests of the individual students entering our classrooms next year.

I love teaching middle school; students are on the cusp of adulthood, hungry for knowledge, ready to face what is hard about the world, and still are interested in the wisdom teachers have to share.

A huge inspiration for me as I return to my desk are my graduates’ reflections. At the Santa Fe Girls’ School, our graduates give speeches at graduation about how they have grown through the transformative years of middle school.

Some common themes for graduates include finding their voices, valuing learning through failure or challenging experiences, letting go of perfectionism, (re)discovering their love of learning, and creating and accepting their identities.

I would like to share two of my students’ hopeful, happy, personal reflections.
