Sandy Hook Hair Owner Offers Fall Hair Trend Advice

INDEX

BY TAYLOR GALLAGHER

Bonnie Fredericks, owner of the Sandy Hook Hair Company, recently offered a number of hair options that she predicts will be trendy this fall.

Ms Fredericks has been the owner of the Sandy Hook Hair Company for the better part of her 30 years in the hair industry.

Some fall hair trends that Ms Fredericks thinks will be popular are warm tones, browns and auburns, and cuts with fun movement and dimension.

“If you’ve got enough hair you can do a ponytail, which can be done so many different ways now,” said Ms Fredericks. “You can change the placement from higher up to the nape of the neck which gives a sleeker look. You can embellish with something like a headband, which has become really popular because they come in so many different colors and with bling on them.”

Ms Fredericks said that the best products to use depend on the hair. According to her, people with long hair should always use some sort of a leave-in conditioner, and a great product for every hair type is a salt spray.

“A salt spray will add texture to all types of hair,” said Ms Fredericks. “It’s really an allpurpose product right now.”

She also said she believes that everybody needs to own a blow-dryer and a total-control light-hold hair spray, which she said can help add texture as well.

And for the people with more off-beat hair colors, such as the pastels or the vibrant rainbow hues, Ms Fredericks said, “You definitely need to use a sulfate-free and color care product shampoo and conditioner.”

She also said that styling products should be carefully purchased and should contain zero alcohol, which will help hair color last longer by not stripping it from the hair follicle.

“For athletes I would recommend that everyone carry a small, travel-size dry shampoo,” said Ms Fredericks. “You can do a little spritz on your roots if you feel oily. If you’re going to shower after your practice, it’s important to do a conditioning or a detangling because if you wash your hair too frequently you’re stripping it of all its natural oils.”

The hair tools Ms Fredericks said she swears by are her blow-dryer, her thermal round brushes, and a two-inch round curling iron. She swears by these tools because, she said, they can help create a variety of hairstyles.

“I can make hair soft and wavy, I can give hair volume with no curl, I can give bend in shorter and sassy styles,” said Ms Fredericks. “My favorite part of working with hair is the people behind the hair.”

Ms Fredericks also said the Sandy Hook Hair Company offers a range of services, like coloring, cuts, highlights, and balayaging, which she said is a process of hand painting color on the hair for a natural look.

Readying Students For A Healthy And Hearty School Year

BY SAM COX

As grimy and sunburned kids mosey their way inside after being outdoors all summer, the realization that school is right around the corner becomes a concern bigger than just the purchasing of new binders and notebooks.

After a season free of homework and hard 6 am wake-ups, the idea of keeping in shape, both physically and nutritionally, may seem daunting.

However, experts from around town have tricks and tips that will no only ensure that the busiest of students stay healthy, but with a few key lifestyle fixes, students can increase their focus and attentiveness both inside and outside of the classroom.

NYA Fitness Center Director Cody Foss had a lot to say on the subject of exercise, but with one straightforward baseline: kids should try to exercise three to four times per week for a minimum of 30 minutes each time they get moving. But Mr Foss has important tips for what children’s exercising should entail.

“This is the stage in kids lives which can help shape their wellness strategies for the rest of their lives,” he said, “and I would emphasize variety over intensity for general health.”

This becomes increasingly important as students become interested in

one particular sport or activity, according to Mr Foss.

“Physical activities can range from recreational activities like hiking, biking, and karate, to more traditional forms of exercise like organized sports or weightlifting,” Mr Foss said. He added later people should keep in mind that, “The key is movement and enjoying the activity.”

The ultimate goal for kids should be the progression of physical activity as they age, according to Mr Foss.

On what should ultimately come of children’s fitness habits, Mr Foss said, “As [kids] progress, mature, and hone in on what type of exercise they enjoy, then they can begin to build a more comprehensive and balanced wellness plan that specifically combines strength training and cardiovascular activities.”

Carving out time in busy schedules can prove the biggest challenge in staying healthy during the school year.

Tumble Jungle instructor Jake Nezvesky recommended at the very least, a morning walk.

“Exercise relieves stress and keeps you alert,” Mr Nezvesky said.

Mr Nezvesky’s co-instructor Kenzie Ouellette reflected on the importance of simply doing things like stretching

in the classroom, reflecting on the benefits of simply standing up and bending over to touch toes.

Vasile Cioana, co-owner of Vasi’s International Gymnastics, said while static stretching can be beneficial, it is less helpful than one might think. Mr Cioana instead recommended, on top of walking, ten-minute activities like jump rope or kicking around a soccer ball, to get blood circulating, which in turn wakes up the brain and prepares it for a day of learning.

Mr Foss spoke to the importance of correct posture.

“Having kids sit upright, squeezing their shoulder blades back and creating some pressure in their abdomen will put the spine in the right position and engage an intricate system of muscles which support the brain,” said Mr Foss. “The brain can best send its signals to the rest of the body when its neural pathway is open and proper spinal alignment contributes to this process.”

On top of exercising, most of what is done physically will not be nearly as beneficial without the supplementation of a healthy diet, according to Mr Cioana, who puts a particular emphasis on diet, whether it is instilling the harm of sugary drinks with his own kids, or his welcoming of nutri-

tionists to his gym to teach his gymnasts good habits.

“Cereals and bagels don’t give you anything beneficial,” Mr Cioana said, when speaking about breakfast, the meal he believes is the most important of the day. Instead Mr Cioana emphasized the adoption of constant consumption of fruits and veggies, as did Mr Foss, who said if he could give one piece of dietary advice, it would be to eat at least one fruit or veggie with each meal.

Mr Foss believes fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins like fish and nuts are the best choice.

Mr Foss said that specifically, “blueberries, avocados, and salmon have all been identified as foods that improve brain function.”

Mr Cioana stressed the importance of avoiding sugary drinks and snacks, especially the summertime temptations of such foods.

“Water, water, and water,” said Mr Cioana, emphasizing the harm that empty calories in soda and sweet drinks can so easily bring to the body.

Overall, Mr Cioana said that parents hold all the power when it comes to healthy lifestyle choices.

“If the parents don’t pay attention,” Mr Cioana said, “it’s not the kids’ fault.”

Superintendent Is Looking Forward To 2015-16 School Year

BY ELIZA HALLABECK

Superintendent of Schools Joseph V. Erardi, Jr, said recently that there are a number of initiatives and programs that he is looking forward to in the 2015-16 school year.

“We’re excited that our incoming kindergarten students will be the first cohort of students that will have the opportunity to experience grade-k Spanish, as the board brings that forward as a pilot program,” said Dr Erardi.

The pilot for the immersion world language program for kindergarten was passed in the Board of Education’s budget for the 2015-16 fiscal year.

Dr Erardi said for 30 minutes a week for the Spanish immersion program, “it’s going to look like, feel like, and, most importantly, sound like Spanish.”

There will be “very little English” during the 30 minutes of Spanish each week for kindergarten students, and the kindergarten teacher, Dr Erardi said, will stay in the 30-minute session with a full understanding of the concept being taught.

Dr Erardi also said kindergarten teachers are expected to reinforce the learning outcomes from the Spanish programs throughout the school week.

“We’re pleased about that,” said Dr Erardi.

Throughout the elementary school level, the superintendent also said parents can expect class sizes that “we believe [are] optimal for teaching and learning.” That means, according to Dr Erardi, 20 students or fewer in kindergarten and first grade, and no more than 25 students per classroom in second, third, and fourth grade.

At the high school level, Dr Erardi said some changes are being made in response to student forums held with Newtown High School students and school and district teachers and administrators last school year.

“We’ve taken issue to some of the climate issues that we believe are prevailing at the high school, particularly our concern around youngsters and the exposure of drugs and alcohol,” Dr Erardi said. “We have said to all students… please be aware of outcomes in regard to consequences. We’ve tightened our belts in regard to consequences and we look to work in harmony and partnership with students to address that issue.”

In the 2014-15 school year, Dr Erardi explained, if a student involved in athletics or extracurricular activities was found to be in possession of a controlled substance on school grounds the student was removed from his or her athletic team or activity for 60 days, and if it happened off school

grounds the student was removed for 14 days. Dr Erardi said the policy is now consistent “across the board” with a 60-day removal.

“We think that sends a very clear message that it is not about the location; it is about the practice,” said the superintendent.

Dr Erardi also said the policy changes took place following the meetings with students, Board of Education meetings, and Board of Education Policy Subcommittee meetings.

During the student forums at NHS, Dr Erardi said the high school students were “very comfortable with endorsing a stronger penalty.”

“That to me, I thought, was refreshing,” said Dr Erardi, referring to the meetings with the high school students.

Dr Erardi also said two new advanced placement courses are being added to the high school’s class offerings. According to NHS Principal Lorrie Rodrigue, an advanced placement computer science course, which will teach students to design and implement computer programs correctly and efficiently to solve problems, and advanced placement Physics I are being added at the high school in the 2015-16 school year.

Due to space allowed by declining enrollment, Dr Erardi said the district will provide a Newtown Public School day care program for faculty and staff. The 2015-16 school year will be the day care program’s first year. The program will be housed at Reed Intermediate School.

The district’s pilot child care program will be similar to the program run in Monroe by Monroe Learning Center Director Dawn Ryan, who will also oversee Newtown’s program, according to information presented at a May 29 Board of Education meeting. The child care program will be for newborn to 32-month-old children and will take place in two classrooms at Reed.

The 2015-16 school year will also mark the first full school year for the Newtown Middle School school-based health center.

The grand opening for the school-based health center was held in March 2015.

“We see activity growing within that health center,” said Dr Erardi.

Another effort Dr Erardi said he expects to grow in the 2015-16 school year is an emphasis on creating kindergarten through twelfth grade personalized learning opportunities for students. Professional learning conducted throughout the

summer for the district’s leadership team before the school year, Dr Erardi said, will focus on creating those learning opportunities.

“I think what parents will also see is a stabilized site-based team,” Dr Erardi said. “I’m really pleased to share that every building principal is coming back and looking forward to coming back… In this district that hasn’t happened too often.”

Hiring and holding onto good leadership, Dr Erardi said, is an important “piece” for a district.

The 2015-16 calendar, which is available on the facing page, also has “a couple of significant changes,” as the superintendent said, from previous years.

As voted by the Board of Education when the calendar was unanimously passed in January 2015, the 2015-16 school calendar indicates professional development days for staff as either a two-hour delayed start to school or as an early dismissal for school. Dr Erardi said at the January meeting that there are three before-school professional development days planned in the calendar for the new pilot.

“Staff will come in on time and it will feel like a snow-day delay; students will come in with a two-hour delay,” said Dr Erardi.

Staff will also experience two days of personalized professional learning during the 2015-16 school year, according to Dr Erardi.

“We’re really looking with our professional learning for our staff to offer optimal opportunities at all times,” said Dr Erardi.

The 2015-16 school year will also bring a visit from the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). Dr Erardi said the decennial accreditation visit will be “one of the most important things” that will take place during the 2015-16 school year.

“It will be a confirmation of the two-year self-study done by the high school faculty,” said Dr Erardi, adding the visit will take place in October, “and we have prepared for the past two years for that study.”

To students, Dr Erardi said the Newtown Public School district is demanding “in regard to outcomes, but I think it is appropriately demanding.

“And my hope is that every youngster understands the opportunity that is in front of them and they do their best work every day. If that takes place, watch the dial move from good to great.”

Improving The School-Dog Connections In Newtown

Big Boy Roy hopped up on a stone wall with his tail wagging as owner Andrea Brosnan sat beside him.

A pup from Georgia rescued within hours of his life ending, he is now the “special” dog at his house, Ms Brosnan said, holding up his therapy vest. She and Bog Boy Roy are a Newtown-Strong Therapy Dogs team.

Newtown-Strong Therapy Dogs began as a subgroup of the Bright & Beautiful Therapy Dogs, Inc. They began in December 2014 and have since trained and certified handlers and therapy dogs, such as Ms Brosnan and Big Boy, and others who are in training.

Ms Brosnan saw dogs from out of state come to Newtown after 12/14. Later when she found Roy, she thought, “He is perfect for this.”

Therapy was “always something I wanted to do,” Ms Brosnan said, and after 12/14, “the dogs were everywhere,” she said. “I know that for me and [her children], seeing the dogs helped so much.” She returned to her longago goal of therapy dog work. When she met Newtown-Strong Director Ann Marie Cioffi at an event, she expressed her interest in getting involved.

She and Roy were in the first NewtownStrong class of 2013. They trained, and that fall she and Roy passed the test. “Roy got a perfect score,” Ms Brosnan said. “It’s like he knows he was rescued, he is such a good boy.”

Together, they attend events through Newtown-Strong “and help any way we can.”

Ms Cioffi said they “attend most every event that invites us, and most do.” Unlike therapy dog teams that flooded town from out of state following the tragedy, she said, “we live here and what sets us apart is we are primarily Sandy Hook and Newtown residents. We are pretty involved in the community.”

Part of that community outreach extends to the classroom.

Ms Brosnan subs at the schools and knows that therapy dogs from groups other than Newtown-Strong have visited Reed Interme-

diate School since 12/14. “Reed has them there every week, and it’s so beneficial.”

Ms Brosnan is just one of a growing number of people and groups promoting dogs in the classroom, including Charlotte’s Litter — a part of Newtown Kindness founded following 12/14.

According to newtownkindness.org, the group “is committed to fostering compassion in children and inspiring life-long contributors to society.”

Joel and JoAnn Bacon started the organization following the death of their daughter Charlotte Helen Bacon, an avid dog lover, on 12/14. As charlotteslitter.org explains, the group’s mission is to “advocate and support appropriate therapy dog programs in educational and societal settings by connecting resources and experienced people as well as providing input and guidance to parents and educators.”

Ms Cioffi’s group is willing to partner with Newtown Kindness and Charlotte’s Litter and feels they are “making headway with the schools” in terms of incorporating therapy dogs in the classes.

Dogs in the community, and in Newtown’s schools, are becoming more common since December 2012. “So many things have come into being since 12/14, that it has changed what therapy dogs do here,” Ms Cioffi said.

“Prior, dogs weren’t in schools or at town events.”

In the past few years, Ms Brosnan said, “It seems like, as soon as someone needed some kind of comforting, there was a dog. It wasn’t just kids, but anybody who needed reassurance, they went to dogs, and the dogs were great.”

Like many other dogs and their owners, Ms Cioffi and friends were in Sandy Hook “everyday until the [street] memorials came down.” She added, “That work there was the inspiration behind Newtown-Strong.”

What Ms Cioffi sees as “the wonder of Charlotte’s litter … I think dogs as part of the curriculum for a school is amazing. It’s new ground.” Regarding Charlotte’s Litter’s efforts to connect with the schools, she said,

“We will be there when they do.” She said, “Charlotte loved, loved, loved dogs.”

Jennifer Ballard and her golden retriever Esther are currently training with NewtownStrong. Esther came from a therapy dog breeder in North Carolina, Honor Therapy, after 12/14. Esther is in Newtown thanks to the group’s fundraising effort to bring the golden to town, Ms Ballard explained.

Recently as Ms Ballard opened the back door of her car, Esther, also wearing her vest, hopped out of the car at Hawley School for a quick stroll. Following was Ms Ballard’s son Blake, 9, who lost friends at Sandy Hook School in 2012. Dropping his skateboard to the pavement, he followed his mother and Esther.

“The magical part of [having Esther] … this was something new that would benefit [Blake].”

Blake was having a lot of difficulties in fall of 2013, his mother said. Working with Esther, training her, “and being exposed to the dogs and the process was beneficial to Blake and his friends, and our friends,” she said. Blake relies on Esther “just dealing with everyday feelings,” Ms Ballard said. “Her calmness gives him an outlet not normally there for him, and a connection that is very healing. She is soothing for him in all different situations.”

She has “been an unbelievable healing presence” that Ms Ballard has been able to share.

“We have been to different events in town.

Esther is amazing, with so much power of healing. She is part of us, and I am so blessed to share her with friends and the community.” She called Esther “an amazing gift.”

Getting dogs into the schools is an “amazing opportunity for the kids to connect at that level. We are unique in our community to have access to this therapy, and it’s ongoing.”

A dog in the classroom “could bring a lot of value, the interaction would be beneficial,” Ms Ballard said. Their presence “would be calming and therapeutic and could bring value to the educational setting.”

Through Esther, she has “learned the power of what a therapy dog means. I see so many smiles and I have learned a lot just watching her interact. I see the impact of what we’re doing,” Ms Ballard said. Esther’s test is on August 9. Soon after the test she will be an official member of Newtown-Strong.

Dogs At School Charlotte Bacon’s parents JoAnn and Joel started Newtown Kindness, which includes Charlotte’s Litter, in memory of their daughter, and have a close connection already formed with the schools. Charlotte’s Litter is an advocacy group that works with therapy dog groups through various contacts. There are a number of different groups available “If the schools have interest, we connect the schools with them. We are here to talk to educators and share our experiences. We have a big network of people we know. We want to advocate for the use of [therapy dogs] and we connect resources,” Ms Bacon said.

Through Charlotte’s Litter, comfort dogs have visited with Sandy Hook School, and other teams from Therapy Dogs International — an out-of-town organization from New York — have been visiting Reed Intermediate School in response to the tragedy. Ms Bacon said, “Sandra Cornell [of Therapy Dogs International] has been a huge part in actively advocating for therapy dogs in Newtown.

She has been a big support to Charlotte’s Litter, and we are thrilled to be working with her.”

Ms Bacon and Ms Cornell are in contact with Newtown School Superintendent Joseph V. Erardi Jr regarding the upcoming school year.

During a May Readathon at Hawley School, Ms Bacon’s group worked with the school and read Good Dogs Great Listeners — a story about Charlotte and her dog Lily — and since then she has had discussion with other schools about promoting a Charlotte’s Litter Literacy Program. “I think they want a literacy aspect with the therapy dogs,” said Ms Bacon.

Jennifer Ballard and her golden, Esther, are training to become a team with NewtownStrong, and have already worked events in town. Ms Ballard said her son, Blake, 9, has already benefited from Esther.

Dr Erardi see the benefits, she said. Learn more about the book at gooddogsgreatlisteners.com/.

Therapy dogs are currently in three of the schools as a response to 12/14, but “it’s up to principals how to expand.” Hawley wants the literacy program, Ms Bacon continued, “and others are ready to discuss. Newtown initiatives are moving forward; Hawley will be expanding and conversations are happening in other schools. I think Newtown is ready to move forward with programs other than in response to 12/14 and these dogs can be used in ways applied to all students.”

While Newtown’s conversation is ongoing, the Newtown-Strong teams are helping with the Charlotte’s Litter Literacy Program in the Brookfield school district this year.

And as they move forward with new schools there is the potential for Newtown-Strong to work with Charlotte’s Litter, but that decision is “up to the school what group of dogs they use,” she said.

Ms Bacon knows first-hand how dogs can

him and classmates at school.”

Dr Erardi recently said, “I support therapy dogs in our school, and I encourage those who are willing to assist our staff, and be in touch with our principals.” He has helped “create a path of conversation with principals,” he said, and although “all plans are not set at this time.,” he is “pleased that we will continue a strong presence of therapy dogs. I am appreciative that dogs will remain in the schools,” Dr Erardi said. He also mentioned Ms Cornell and Therapy Dogs International.

“Since the tragedy she has driven from [Wappingers Falls, N.Y.] every week” to help in Newtown.

Ms Cornell has worked closely with Ms Bacon through Charlotte’s Litter, Ms Cornell said. “The whole point of Charlotte’s Litter is to get dogs in schools and this is a great step.

We are moving forward one little step at a time,” she said. Already a therapy dog program, Tail Wagging Tutors, is in the Wappingers Falls Central School District.

She had told Dr Erardi that “we had been

help a student. “We have our own personal experience which is why my husband and I started this program. Our son [Guy, 13] benefited from the program, it’s been his type of therapy.” Read about the specifics of Guy’s healing experience with dogs in the schools when he returned to school after 12/14 at charlotteslitter.org/our-story/.

She said, “It’s personal, and our way to honor Charlotte and creating a legacy for her in something that she loves.” Ms Bacon also knows of several students in Newtown and other districts that have benefited. “And, we are gaining traction because it works. We are a resource and all volunteer. For schools to engage in this it doesn’t hurt their budget,” she said. “People are interested in this and I see this growing.”

Her son is writing a book that is now being designed, its manuscript already completed.

Guy’s book will be available for purchase at an upcoming walk-a-thon “It’s a tribute to dogs at his school,” Ms Bacon said. “He writes about the dogs and how they helped

coming since 12/14 and I think there are other ways we can use the dogs. We are looking at what we can do for other kids and set things up that will be useful with the dogs.”

Hawley will be staring a reading program this year, she said, and she will meet with two other elementary schools in August “to discuss the reading program — the dog goes in and the student read to the dog. Students chosen to read are those who may struggle or are shy, and it’s worked really well.”

She is also meeting with the middle and high schools “to see if they have any necessity.” Regarding Reed Intermediate School, Ms Cornell said, “I have been going there since January 2013, and I assume I will still be there this year,” in a recovery, therapy work capacity.

Your Child’s Vision!

School eye exams are only screenings and do not test for everything. They may test for distance vision in each eye separately, but do not test for near vision (reading) or how the two eyes work together as a unit. According to Prevent Blindness America, vision problems affect one out of every four school-age children. "If a child is struggling in school, it may well be an indication of a vision problem," says Dr. Joseph Young of Village Eye Care. Dr. Young tests for ocular problems that can impact learning and development. He also stresses the importance of proper eye movements, and the ability to read and comprehend. We have worked with many children whose reading and writing skills have greatly improved.

Another concern for parents is sports vision. According to Prevent Blindness America, there are 40,000 ocular sports related injuries per year. Dr. Young has many solutions for your "sports child", from contacts to REC SPECS Sports Eyewear.

Please visit our web site for more information, and we hope you see that an eye exam is part of "getting your child ready for a great school year!"

Back To School Fashion Trends

BY TAYLOR GALLAGHER

Trends come and go, often changing so quickly it can be hard to stay on top of them. But, luckily there are some local stores whose owners are dedicated to keeping on top of the trends, and have their eye on autumn 2015.

Liz Page, Amy Cameron, and Eve Schick are the owners of The Newbury Place, which is located in Southbury.

All offered advice for girls returning to school this fall.

“One trend we saw at the fall shows is layering,” said Ms

Page, a Newtown resident. “Layering is a great way to incorporate things you already have in your wardrobe into the new items you buy.”

One of the popular layering items The Newbury Place has to offer is a slip dress. Ms Page said that slip dresses are great for wearing under a dress that may be just a tad too short, or even under a shirt. They can also be put over leggings and worn like a tunic.

Christine Ruzek, owner of the self-proclaimed “eco-fabu-

lous” Sandy Hook store Labels + Tags, agreed that layering is a big trend for this fall.

“For maximizing the money you spend on your wardrobe for the fall season… take things like a romper and add layers to it,” said Ms Ruzek. “There are so many opportunities to do that, whether it’s with a denim jacket or a scarf, there are so many ways to add and embellish.”

But layering is not exclusively for clothing. Ms Page recommended layering necklaces or bracelets to add a different look to the most basic everyday clothes.

“How can we make something like a tank top relevant for the upcoming months?” said Ms Ruzek. “Embellish it with something pretty like a statement necklace. It doesn’t have to be brand name, just good quality and something that you love and feel super-confident in.”

Ms Ruzek also suggested rethinking pieces that are already in the wardrobe.

“Taking something like a button-up tank top that has a lace back and leaving it open changes the look,” said Ms Ruzek.

“Now, it isn’t just a shirt, it can be a vest or a jacket as well.”

Another trend that can help to maximize school-friendly wardrobe options is the denim jacket. Both stores had them in stock in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors. According to Ms Page, a multiuse wardrobe is essential, and a denim jacket allows the wearer to continue to wear summer favorites well into the school year without breaking a dress code.

“Taking something from the summer and being able to transition it to the fall and winter is a great way to save money,” said Ms Ruzek.

The fall trends are not exclusively for clothing. Kristen Bazuro is an independent Jamberry consultant. She describes Jamberry as “helping women have Pinterest-style nails at a fraction of the cost”. Jamberry is a “DIY, at-home application… nail wrap that will arm you with style and confidence while demanding very little of your time or money,” according to the website, jamberry.com.

According to Ms Bazuro, some fall nail trends will be ombrè, holographic, and jewel tones. There are different types of Jamberry nail wraps to help wearers stay on trend, such as nail wraps that can be designed with custom colors or that feature a sparkle or metallic finish, or even matte colors.

Katherine Tamaro, store manager of New Balance in Bethel, has back-to-school shoe shopping trends covered, for both girls and boys returning to school in the fall.

“We’ve got a lot of the ‘Lifestyles,’ that kind of classic, ‘90s vintage look,” said Ms Tamaro. “That look is coming back so we’ve seen it displayed in a lot of New Balance’s shoes. And then obviously, the cool new shoes that come out for the adults have versions for younger people and kids as well.”

Ms Tamaro also said how important it is to have a separate pair of sneakers for life’s different activities.

“You should always have a separate pair for work and, for younger people, to train in for sports,” said Ms Tamaro. “If you use one pair for just about everything, you’ll go through them pretty darn quick.”

But New Balance doesn’t just have shoes, according to Ms Tamaro the company has been working on making its workout clothing more adaptable into the everyday wardrobe.

“We love the sportswear trend,” agreed Ms Ruzek. “You get a lot of versatility out of it and you can wear it very comfortably.”

With all of the new trends that pop up, it can be hard to find the right clothes. Ms Ruzek and Ms Page agreed that one can never go wrong with some classic wardrobe staples such as a “great” pair of jeans that feel comfortable, a denim jacket to help transition and layer a wardrobe, shirts that can be layered to help change a look while keeping it school appropriate, a few great sweaters, and favorite accessories, which can help make outfits look different every time they are worn.

Members of the NHS dance team perform last fall. The dancers will show their moves during halftime of football games again this September through November.

Another Fall Sports Season Is Just Around The Corner Shortly after the calendar turns from August to September, Newtown High School’s sports teams will begin competition for the fall season. The Nighthawk squads will tangle with their South-West Conference rivals and look to contend for conference and state championships.

A complete season outlook section, which will be published in early September, will preview the football, soccer, field hockey, girls’ volleyball, cross country, and girls’ swimming and diving teams as they kick off what is sure to be another exciting campaign.

The three-time South-West Conference champion football team will not have a chance to challenge for another title because new regulations designed to limit football player contact in an effort to reduce injuries, have resulted in the elimination of the conference title games. Newtown’s football team will strive to get back into the state playoffs, and the season begins with a September 11 visit to Pomperaug of Southbury.

The home opener is scheduled for September 18 when Notre Dame-Fairfield visits Blue & Gold Stadium. Among the other schedule highlights is the annual Thanksgiving Eve contest with Masuk High which, this year, will take place in Monroe (November 25).

The return to school also denotes the beginning of youth sports campaigns. Check out each edition of The Bee for game scores and highlights from youth football, soccer, and other athletic activities.

Overview Of Bus Rules And Routes All-Star Transportation has released the bus routes for the 2015-16 school year.

Alan Colangelo is the manager for the Newtown terminal, Joan Baumgart is the dispatcher, and Sue Alves is the safety supervisor.

The main phone number for All-Star Transportation in Newtown is 203-304-9779. Hours for operating the phone line are 7 am until 4:30 pm during weekdays. Inquires can also be e-mailed to Mr Colangelo at alan.colangelo@all-startransportation.com.

Any updates to bus routes will be posted online, off of the district’s main website, www.newtown.k12.ct.us, by clicking the “Transportation” option under the “Departments” dropdown menu.

Bus Waivers/Stop Change Forms

Each elementary school sent bus waiver and stop change forms to parents and requested that they be completed and returned to the schools. If any parent has not yet done so, All-StarTransportation requests the forms be submitted to the school their child will be attending as soon as possible.

Bus waivers apply only to students in first to fourth grade. No waiver to get off of a bus unattended will be accepted for any kindergarten student.

The waiver is intended to allow the bus to release a student if no adult is visibly present. Cars parked in drivers can be misleading, and All-Star drivers will base the decision on whether an adult is visibly present.

Stop Change Form are needed if any family has moved or a student will be getting on/off at a stop different from the home address on a daily basis. This form must be completed. A stop change form is not intended to specify where someone wants a stop; it is solely for notification that their child will not get on/off the regularly scheduled stop, but rather at another regularly scheduled stop.

Bus Stop Rules Students should be out at the bus stop about 5 to 8 minutes before the bus is scheduled to arrive, according to All-Star Transportation. Times change slightly based on a number of factors (road conditions, weather, students at previous stops not there, etc). Students should not be inside the house at the top of driveways waiting to put coats on when the bus arrives. When the bus stops, students should be ready to board immediately.

It helps the driver out tremendously if parents go over these rules and behavior expectations to promote a safe, hassle-free ride for all students, according to All-Star Transportation. Students should never cross in front of a bus without a visible signal from the driver that it is safe to do so.

Likewise, no student should ever run towards/from the rear, alongside of a bus. A driver may not see a student in some danger zone blind spots. If a student drops something, never run up to the side of the bus to retrieve it. There is a danger zone around a bus where a driver may not see the student in a mirror. Always yell out to get the driver’s attention if you need them to remain stopped for any reason.

Bus Riding Rules All-Star Transportation released rules to follow to not lose riding privilege on buses are: 1. Observe the same conduct as in the classroom.

2. Be courteous, use no profane language.

3. Do not eat or drink on the bus.

4. Keep the bus clean.

5. Cooperate with the driver.

6. Do not smoke (this includes electronic cigarettes).

7. Do not be destructive to equipment.

8. Remain seated until the bus is stopped completely at student’s bus stop.

9. Keep head, hands, feet inside the bus.

10.Bus driver is authorized to assign seats.

Safety Notes For Parents From All-Star 1. Parents are not allowed to board school buses without prior approval from All-Star Transportation.

2. If your child misses the bus, drive him/her to school. Do not follow the bus and have your child run alongside the bus to board it.

This is extremely dangerous and is prohibited.

3. When buses are parked with their lights activated, and they are loading or unloading students; it is illegal for an automobile or any other vehicle to pass through their lights. This includes buses parked and loading or unloading both on the road, any public or private parking lot, and in the school yard. Any vehicles observed passing through the flashing lights of any bus will be reported directly to the Newtown Police Department, Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles, Newtown Board of Education, and will be subject to a $450 fine, under Connecticut State Law, Title 14, and Section 279. Buses will be sporadically fitted with cameras that will take pictures of violators.

4. The bus driver needs to focus on driving the bus and providing safe transport. If you have any concerns regarding the operation of your child’s school bus, contact All-Star at 203-304-9778.

Kindergartners: Getting By, With A Little Help From Their Friends — And Teachers especially the first two weeks. “It would also be helpful if parents gave their children a little time away from them by leaving them with a friend or relative for short visits, encouraging a little independence from the parent,” she recommended.

Children and parents will be more comfortable if the new kindergartners have mastered some basic knowledge before entering school. “Children should know how to write their names, and most do. They should have some knowledge of the alphabet,” Ms Vollmer said. “Make books important and read to them,” she encouraged, as this is a means of helping children to learn to sit and listen.

Do not worry about academic readiness, though, said Ms Schmidt. “That’s what we’ll be working on in kindergarten.

They’ll be fine,” she said.

“The big thing is for parents to read to children and talk about the stories,” Ms Kuligowski said. Having conversations throughout the day, and listening to children is very important. It teaches children about the give and take of conversations that are apt to occur in a classroom, she said.

“It makes the kids want to learn to read, even if it is just ‘reading’ pictures,” added Ms Dievert.

BY NANCY K. CREVIER

Even with a couple of years of preschool or regular day care under their belts, entering kindergarten in the public schools can be a time of trepidation for the youngest students of the Newtown School System, and for their parents, as well. It is also a time of great excitement as the 4-, 5-, and 6-year-olds embark on the 13-year journey that leads to young adulthood.

Four of Newtown’s kindergarten teachers, with more than seven decades of experience teaching kindergarten between them, shared tips for making the transition a smooth and joyous one. Janet Vollmer, Sandy Hook School; Dorothy Schmidt, Middle Gate School; and Lisa Dievert and Miryam Kuligowski of Head O’ Meadow (HOM) School, said that Newtown schools all have programs in place to ease any fears.

“Kindergartners fear the unknown. It can be scary to them — the new school, the new classrooms, the new teachers,” Ms Schmidt said, so allowing parents to take the children around and get a peek into the classrooms during spring registration is a good start to alleviating fears.

Springtime meetings at the schools with incoming kindergartners and their parents give the new students “some familiarity” with the space, Ms Vollmer said.

At Middle Gate, said Ms Schmidt, Bright Beginnings is another springtime program that puts new kindergartners and teachers together for an informal assessment and a chance to meet each other. Parents are provided with an information session in a separate classroom.

“It helps the kids get used to separation a little,” Ms Schmidt explained.

Then, before the school year begins, all of the schools host a bus ride to the school, allowing children to experience traveling to and from home by bus. Kindergarten teachers greet the children when they arrive at school, and a brief classroom visit with snack or a bus safety video is provided, before parents pick them up.

“Some of the kids are really excited,” Ms Kuligowski said, “and some are a little afraid. We strongly encourage that kindergartners do that bus run.”

“I tell parents to come to the school during the summer, and play on the playground,” advised Ms Vollmer, again giving the children familiarity with the school.

Another thing that helps, said Ms Dievert, is if an older friend or sibling can tell the new student what a day at school is like.

“Get the child involved in getting ready for school, too,” she suggested, allowing him or her to select the lunch box and backpack that will be used.

The Kissing Hand is a storybook that teachers highly recommend as prekindergarten reading material. It is a gentle book, addressing fears with a loving solution for those first days parent and child spend apart.

“There are many great books about kindergarten and the first days of school,” said Ms Kuligowski, and going to the library to pick out some of those books is a wonderful way to ease any anxieties a child may have.

It is important for parents and children to participate in the “walk-through” before school begins, said Ms Schmidt, when children meet their kindergarten teacher for the year. “They can find their cubby, check out the bathroom, play with the toys, and maybe find their desk. It gives them a good sense of what to expect that first day; and that first day can be tricky,” she said.

“The first week of kindergarten is like a blender without a top on it,” laughed Ms Vollmer. “Those first six to eight weeks, we go home, and wow!” she said.

Getting Rest “Kindergartners will probably be tired that first month,” said Ms Dievert. She and Ms Kuligowski recommend that parents establish a bedtime and a soothing bedtime routine for the school year. A brief nap upon returning home may be needed, until the child adjusts to the schedule.

Let the child nap upon returning home, if it is desired. “Par-

Hawley School kindergarten teachers and principal greet kindergartners getting off of Bus 40, last August, during the 2014 kindergarten bus run. Taking advantage of this annual event at Newtown schools is one way to ease anxieties for children and parents, say experienced kindergarten teachers.

—Bee file photo ents will have to see how each child reacts,” said Ms Schmidt.

Parents might want to start incorporating school year bedtime routines and other school routines before summer ends, she suggested. Routines, in and out of school, are a big part of a kindergartner’s life. At school, they will need to learn simple routines, such as getting into line, how to use the bathroom, and how to sit and take turns, she said. At home, parents can help by setting routines. “Have them help get their backpack ready for the next day, each evening, involve them in making a snack or lunch and make sure it is set for the next school day, set their shoes out each evening and decide what to wear. Have a bedtime routine, ” Ms Schmidt advised. Parents might want to help children practice opening snack containers that can frustrate little fingers, before the school year begins.

Newtown schools introduced full-day kindergarten two years ago. It has been a boon, in that it allows teachers to take more time throughout the day for teaching and playing, said Ms Dievert. The school day is developmentally appropriate for kindergartners in Newtown, Ms Kuligowski assured, but transition from home to a full day of school does have its challenges.

“We stagger the day,” said Ms Vollmer, to help the youngest learners make it through successfully. “At Sandy Hook we have academics in the morning, then lunch, and then we usually read aloud. Music, art, gym, and computer classes are integrated into the afternoons during the week, with plenty of breaks to allow the children to investigate,” she said. She believes in the importance of playtime and recess.

Other schools also stagger the school day between work and play. Playtime at recess is important, and parents should see that children are appropriately dressed to play on the playground. Teachers hope that parents realize that flip-flops are not the best footwear for recess.

Children who may have trouble with separation can bring along a family picture in his or her backpack, a kind of touchstone if the day gets stressful, Ms Vollmer suggested.

While bringing toys to school is not encouraged, Ms Schmidt does not discourage kindergartners from bringing with them a small stuffed animal that offers some comfort,

Tech Savvy Many of today’s kindergartners are technologically “savvy,” but may only be familiar with touch technology. Introduce an incoming kindergartner to the use of a mouse to control a computer. “And let them use pencils, pens, paper, and crayons,” Ms Dievert urged.

Technology is a part of 21st Century learning, Ms Schmidt pointed out. Interactive smart boards, weekly computer labs, and iPads are all things with which kindergartners will soon be familiar, if they are not already.

Not just the children, but the parents, particularly when it is the first child in the family to go to school, may have separation anxiety.

Parents and children are welcome to stop by as teachers prepare the classrooms, said Ms Vollmer, usually in mid- to late August.

How the child will find the correct bus home is a common anxiety for parents, Ms Kuligowski said. “Have your child wear the bus tags the school provides. It allows the teachers to see what bus the child goes on. If the tag is lost or one is not received before the first day of school, put the bus information, the school name, and the child’s name on a homemade tag,” she said.

Another fear that Ms Schmidt has found common among kindergartners is that of not having friends at school. “We give them the tools to make friends, and when they do make friends and have playtime, I find that is what motivates them to look forward to school,” she said.

Conveying a sense of adventure and excitement will help kindergartners adjust to the new situation, said these teachers.

Parents should be encouraging. Let them know that the teachers are there to help, that they will have a playtime, and assure them that they will make friends. What parents do not want to do, said Ms Schmidt, is tell the kindergartners fun things parents and younger siblings may be doing while they are at school.

No matter which of the four Newtown elementary schools will be welcoming your kindergartner, the system is designed to make the transition a happy one for the whole family.

“Typically, once the parents leave or the child is on the bus, the kids are fine. My experience tells me they like school,” Ms Vollmer said. “They play and have a good time.”

Attend the open houses the first weeks of school, said these experienced teachers. Much information is provided and many questions can be answered during these sessions. Above all, teachers all welcome a call, e-mail, or visit from a parent if there are ongoing concerns.

“If the parents are happy and positive, the kids will be, too.

There may be some tears the first few days. That’s okay. Put them on the bus and we’ll take care of them,” said Ms Kuligowski.
