NICE THINGS TO DO FOR YOUR SLs

Bring them tea / coffee during wake ups.
“Sneak” them cookies and candy.
Bring fresh fruit (non-ODS stuff).
Watch their cabin for 5-10 minutes while they sit on the porch and chill (also a good time for them to be able to talk to their cabin partner and plan ahead).
Eat a meal as and extra adult at their table if you can (you get to talk to them, and also take some of the responsibility of keeping up table conversation off their shoulders for a meal).
Write notes of encouragement and feedback.
Try to have some of PM time be to decompress / chill.
Put their kids to bed for the night or take care of waking them up and getting them going in the morning.
Give them a bead / some sort of unity thing.
Let them know ahead of time if it’s going to be your night off and who else will be around covering for you so they’re prepared.
Keep them as informed as you can based on what you know, especially with schedule changes.
Draw them pictures and leave them on their bunks as a surprise.
