FREE FUN IN THE MUD The Galloway Patriot held its first Magnus Mud Run of 2015 on June 13th at the Galloway Twp. Municipal Complex. There was quite a crowd and great weather. For the first time everyone participated in a flag ceremony led by the Absecon VFW color guard. The Absecon VFW color guard is considered to be one of the best in the state and presented the colors as well as fired a ceremonial shot into the air to begin the event. The Galloway Fire Department joined the children on the field right at the beginning of the event immediately after quickly extinguishing a raging car fire at the Pitney Road Wawa. We are very proud of our fire department and admire the great professionalism they exhibit. The next mud run is scheduled for August 15th at 11am. It is FREE and open to children 3 to 8 years old. Children participating in Galloway Twp. summer program will also get to run it in July. The Galloway Patriot will also set up the course for the Boy Scouts at their annual “Camporee” in October. Thanks to all our volunteers, Clayton Self Storage & Home Depot. To find out more or rigister your child, visit GallowayPatriot.com

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY !!!! We light up the skies with spectacular fireworks across our nation in celebration of the Fourth of July, our Country’s birthday. On that day in 1776, the members of the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to adopt the final draft of the Declaration of Independence. John Adams predicted that the anniversary of the day “will be celebrated with pomp and parade … bonfires and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other.” He was so right ! As we get ready for our parades, festivals and get-togethers, there is an elephant in the room: the heat. Recently, it’s been so hot that by the time I get home from the grocery store, my loaf of bread is toast. OK, that might be overstating things, but here is Dr. Nina’s What You Need to Know about staying safe in the heat on the Fourth of July and throughout the summer. How do we “chill out?” Our body temperature normally remains within a narrow range - 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, plus or minus 1 degree. Our skin plays a pivotal role when it comes to keeping us cool. As our internal temperature rises, blood flow automatically increases to the upper layers of the skin so heat can dissipate into the environment. Concur-rently, water diffuses through the skin (aka perspiration, sweating), and heat is removed from the body when it evaporates. Can I get a chemistry and physics refresher course? We all know that a hot cup of coffee will cool over time (heat dissipates into the environment), but will never become cooler than room temperature. Heat is a form of energy and always flows from high temperature to low temperature, a phenomenon known as equilibrium. When the temperatures between our body and the environment are equal, there is no net flow of heat. Consequently, hot weather makes it difficult or impossible for us to cool down. What can happen if we cannot cool down? We can experience heat-related illnesses ranging from rashes to heat cramps, exhaustion and stroke. Heat cramps are painful spasms in our legs and abdomen that are accompanied by heavy sweating. Heat exhaustion describes confusion, dizziness, fainting, headache and vomiting. This can progress to heat stroke, a medical emergency, where our body’s temperature increases to greater than 105 degrees and can literally fry our brain. How do we keep safe with skyhigh temperatures? •Limit strenuous activities to the morning and evening hours, when it is cooler.

•Pretend we are fish. Not only does drinking fluids cool us down, it is necessary to replace what is lost from sweating and perspiration. The key is to drink consistently throughout the day, not just when we feel thirsty. If we are engaging in strenuous activities, set a goal to drink two to four 8ounce glasses of fluid every hour. Additionally, we need to be aware that alcoholic, caffeinated and sugary drinks increase urination and, hence, cause fluid loss. •Dress for success. Lightweight clothing allows our body to dissipate heat instead of insulating it. Light-colored clothing reflects heat whereas darker colors absorb it. •Don’t get burnt. In addition to increasing our risk for skin cancer, sunburn prevents heat dissipation. The red that we see is actually superficial broken blood vessels that will decrease blood flow to the skin’s surface. •Know who is at risk. Young children (their bodies heat up three to five times faster than an adult’s), people aged 65 and older or those with chronic illness (heart disease, hypertension) are at greater risk for heat-related illness. •Retreat to air-conditioned areas whenever possible. •Hot Cars. Heatstroke is the leading cause of non-crash, vehicle-related deaths for children. Temperatures inside a car can increase, putting anyone in danger - especially children. When buckling our children in, make sure that the belt buckles are not too hot, especially when the car has been parked in the heat. We have been entrusted with a rare treasure that Our Founders fought to establish and more than 1.3 million men and women have died to protect. Let’s stay cool and safe as we celebrate our “Life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.”

Roland’s Rogers Bird and Butterfly Garden New and Improved New Greenhouse & Expanded Garden Area. Pumpkins were placed in our flower bed this fall with some Kindergarten students after reading and learning about pumpkins. Those Seeds became buried. Then, this spring, pumpkin plants began growing from those seeds and now we have a beautiful pumpkin plant! Some Kindergarten and 4-6th grade ELL Students also planted tomato, pepper and bean seeds in March as we were studying the life cycle of plants. As the plants began to grow and get bigger, they were then transplanted into larger containers in our greenhouse. Several of the ELL students also weeded and prepared the garden prior to planting flowers for Earth Day. Many grade levels and their teachers participated in this wonderful event. Mrs. Saur’s chorus even sang a few songs in our garden! Mr. Diaz, who installed our sprinkler system last summer is also looking into expanding it and could use help from any parent or business in regards to this area! Roland’s FSA members came out to support us on Earth Day by planting flowers and donating an umbrella, a beautiful magnolia tree, a rhododendron bush, bird seed, and various flowers. In addition, a lovely child’s table and chair set was also donated by a parent and FSA member. It was then put together for us by her 5th grade daughter Samantha Tavarez and her dad. Then, Mrs. Randsdorp coordinated a time that the set could be painted by Samantha and her two 5th grade classmates, Gianna Cox and Chichi Wokocha. Please make sure you take a look in the garden at what a wonderful job the girls did! The chairs and table look so pretty!! Thank you again for your wonderful support girls! New cedar birdhouses have been also placed in the garden and were made and donated to us by Mr. Joseph Randsdorp. As soon as they were placed, House Wrens made their nests in them and now we have two expecting bird families! We have now expanding our garden with the help of Dr. Moore and the student council as more fencing has been purchased and installed! Thank you Dr. Moore and student council! Finally, we are very thankful for our maintenance staff as they spent many hours putting together the greenhouse for Roland! We also want to thank our custodial staff for their support too! Parents, please feel free to participate in any way you can towards our organic growing projects and further building of our wildlife habit. Currently, we are in need of some birdseed, potting soil or flowers. We look forward to providing enriching and wonderful learning opportunities for all students at Roland and their families with our school garden and greenhouse! So come on out and read a book with your child by the picnic table, or watch the beautiful birds and butterflies as they come into our garden area! Mr. Juan Tamayo and Ms. Angela Ospina helped put up 70 feet of garden fencing. With our expanded garden, automatic sprinkler system, and new greenhouse, our garden is growing indeed!

ASSUMPTION REGIONAL CATHOLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS HOST THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY’S RELAY RECESS EVENT Students from ASSUMPTION REGIONAL CATHOLIC SCHOOL Become Cancer Fighting Superheroes on MAY 29, 2015 from 8:00 am to 8:00 p.m. Cancer fighting superheroes invaded local elementary school, Assumption Regional Catholic School, where students came together to fight against cancer. The Relay Recess event benefited the American Cancer Society. Relay Recess gives elementary schools the chance to educate and involve their students in a philanthropic event, while learning about cancer causes and prevention. Students become part of their grade level classroom teams with their teachers acting as Team Captains. Together they fundraise as a team and take turns walking laps at the event to support cancer research. “Students at these ages have such a passion for learning, so what a better time to teach them about cancer prevention than now,” said Mary Ellen Schurtz - Principal Assumption Regional Catholic School. “They learn together as a team about how nutrition, physical activity, sun protection, and tobacco prevention can help them avoid cancer.” “We wanted to bring the Relay for Life experience to our school and local community to create greater awareness in the fight against cancer,” said Mrs. Cindy Walker, Teacher and Co-Chair. “It’s an opportunity that engages our students in the fight against cancer and allows them to make a difference in their community.” “Community Relay Recess events help provide students the opportunity to celebrate survivors, honors loved ones, and raise funds to help the American Cancer Society fight cancer. They include an emotional luminaria closing ceremony that pays tribute to those for whom the cure did not come soon enough and for those who continue to fight so valiantly,” said Mrs. Cathryn Flammer, Advancement Director and Co-Chair. Some Highlights and Attractions for Relay Recess included: Food Vendors, Activities, face painting, bounces, Ojeda Sports Performance, Grow Yoga, Maserati of The Main Line Car display, Mascot Race – Included several local high schools, Assumption Ram, The ACUA Can Man…to name a few, Boxcar Derby – In memory of Christian Clopp sponsored by Cub Scout Pack 254 Den 2 Special appearance by former Miss New Jersey, Lindsey Petrosh, and 3 Live bands. This year at Relay Recess, they had a wall with the stories of fighters, survivors, and caregivers! The Dr. Jan Astin Mobile Mammography van was on site from 9am-8pm. Each year this event grows and grows. Keep up the great work ARCS!
