Show Wed/Thurs/Fri, January 24-26, 2018 The Park Record A-9 A well-deserved yoga break TANZI PROPST/PARK RECORD Ashlee Jensen, an ESL (English as a second language) paraprofessional at Park City High School and a certified yoga instructor, speaks to a class of high school teachers during a yoga class in the dance room on Jan. 17. Jensen offered the class for free to help her practice teaching classes and to “create and spread happiness in the community.” Continued from A-7 Students fill others’ needs abusing the service, they do not advertise it to everyone at school. Instead, they tell teachers, who can then tell students or their parents who are in need. The pantry also contains laundry detergent and food that could serve a whole family. Students and parents can enter the room at the back of the counseling center and take what they need without the worry of someone seeing them or having to report what they took. Booth and Slobodow do not keep an inventory of the items that are taken, but they are certain students are making good use out of it. They know, at least, that they have gone through two cases of Top Ramen containing 48 packets each this school year.

CAROLYN WEBBER/PARK RECORD The pantry includes hygiene items, food and clothes and is available to any student who is in need. It is made possible by donations. Entering the room in the morning and stocking it up is the most fulfilling aspect of managing the pantry, they said. Even though they never see the people taking or even giving the donations, they still find joy in seeing the items gone. “It’s a nice way for us to constantly be involved but still have the time to be students and focus on our studies,” Slobodow said. “It’s a nice balance.” Insulate attic hatch access Upgrade to a smart thermostat Install energy-efficient windows Install low-flow showerheads Install faucet aerators Add insulation Caulk windows Insulate hot water lines Unblock air vents Turn heat down at night Install a high-efficiency water heater Reverse ceiling fans in the winter Change furnace filter regularly Do a little, save a lot.
