How are you?
Now that school is back in session,
you might have mixed emotions. This
year has thrown us some curve balls,
right? All of us at OWL hope that you
had a great summer and were able to
make some really fun memories.
Adjusting to a new school routine
might seem like a lot to get used
to, but we have your back! Part of
overcoming fear, anxiousness, and
even sadness is looking closer at
those emotions and understanding
why you feel them. Turn to page 12
to read what I'm talking about.
Also remember, it's okay to feel all
the feelings! Happiness, excitement,
nervousness—whatever you're
feeling is totally normal.
And you know what? WE feel lucky
to have you as our readers. Thanks
for being so amazing!
Have the best school year, everyone!
