March: "Relax, Recharge, Revive!"

Get Lost in a Book

Reading is a great way to unwind after a long, busy day. Taking your mind off your own problems can have a therapeutic effect. Not only does reading stretch your imagination and open your mind to new possibilities, it helps maintain a sense of self by being alone in your thoughts. Picking up a book allows our minds to relieve the stress of everyday life as our imagination is guided through a new and exciting world. Escape with some recommended books from the HighReach Learning staff.
