2. Please join us for our next SCHOOL COUNCIL meeting and parent workshop: SLEEPY NOT LAZY! TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT ADOLESCENTS' SLEEP AND HEALTH Robyn Stremler, RN, PhD, Assistant Professor, Lawrence S. Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, University of Toronto (Adolescents are often in limbo in the health care system, beginning to develop maturity and independence, yet often treated too much as children or adults. In particular, the sleep patterns of adolescents are unique and, in spite of the importance of sleep during this developmental stage, often overlooked. Adolescents who complain about waking up early for school or other activities may be perceived as lazy by their parents and teachers, but there is a biological basis for the need to sleep later. Robyn Stremler, Assistant Professor, University of Toronto, will facilitate discussion of issues related to sleep for adolescents and share research evidence related to healthy sleep habits, barriers to achieving sleep of adequate quantity and quality, consequences of sleep loss and strategies to improve sleep for adolescents.) When? Wednesday, April 9th, 7:30 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Where? Room 215 3. Maytime Melodies, our major music event of the year is fast approaching. Please plan on attending one or both nights Thursday, May 1 & Friday, May 2. More information to come.
