‘Teen Pause’ Club Gives NCHS Students a Much-Needed Place to Decompress

When Scarlett Stewart arrived at New Canaan High School as a ninth grader, she found herself struggling with anxiety that she didn’t know how to manage.
A competitive dancer who practiced four hours per day on top of her NCHS workload, Stewart “felt like I was taking on too much.”
“And I’ll be honest, my grades dropped because I didn’t know how to handle dance and school,” she told NewCanaanite.com during a recent interview at New Canaan Library. “And that just caused even more stress.”
