School’s Out! Time to Exhale, Refresh, and Rejuvenate
Share
Cue the confetti cannons and crank up the summer playlist—you made it. After 180 days of herding cats, wrangling Chromebooks, and answering “Is this for a grade?” on repeat, you’ve crossed the finish line.
Summer break is here, and it’s officially time to exhale.
1. Permission to Actually Rest (No, Really)
Let’s get one thing straight: you’re not “wasting” your summer if you’re not learning a new language, planning 42 weeks of lessons, or alphabetizing your spice rack.
Summer is for living room dance parties, questionable sunburn lines, and the kind of naps that make you forget what year it is.
Give yourself permission to rest, guilt-free. EDUHaHa says so. That makes it official.

2. Reclaim Your Routine (or Ditch It Entirely)
You want structure? Go for it. Want to eat ice cream for breakfast and wear pajamas ‘til noon? Even better. Summer is the reset button for your soul.
This is your time to reconnect—with yourself, your hobbies, your pets, and the 27 books you swore you’d read last year.
Pro tip: “Self-care” isn’t just a scented candle (but also, buy the candle).
3. The Great Outdoors: Your Classroom Now Has a Sky
Swap fluorescent lights for sunshine. Let your only “classroom management” be keeping sand out of your snack bag. Whether it’s a local trail, a backyard hammock, or a full-on road trip, change your scenery and change your mindset.
And if you want to make your own “summer rules?”
Check out the Sandy Toes Rule T-Shirt — the only dress code you need until August.
Wear it to the beach, the backyard, or while napping on the couch. No judgment. Total approval.
4. Laugh, Create, and Let Loose
We’re all about humor here. Laughter isn’t just the best medicine—it’s the soundtrack of a summer well spent. Try something silly. Paint. Bake. Binge-watch documentaries about otters (you’ll thank us).
And if you must lesson plan, do it poolside, with a mocktail and zero pressure.
5. You Deserve This
You showed up, gave your best, and made it through another wild ride. Now, it’s time to put the “fun” back in “functional adult.”
So, here’s to you—rested, recharged, and ready to take on whatever comes next (but not until August, thank you very much).
Share this with your fellow educators who need a reminder:
Rest isn’t a reward, it’s the right way to kick off the summer. You earned it.
