Hummingbirds are being celebrated around the state this weekend, but Rim Country photographers celebrate them every chance they get. With the help of contributing photographer DJ Craig, a call was put out to area photographers to share images of hummingbirds they have captured around the Rim Country. The response was astounding. Thank you all, so much for helping out. While we were unable to use them all in this edition of the Review, look for some of the images in one of this week’s editions of the Payson Roundup.

Celebrating hummingbirds National Hummingbird Day is always the first Saturday in September. In Arizona the “day” may be July 28 through July 30. A check of the state events calendar published by the Arizona Office of Tourism shows three different hummingbird celebrations scheduled around the state this weekend. Down in Sierra Vista Thursday, July 28 is Hummingbird Banding Season; over in Sedona, July 29 through July 31 is the Fifth Annual Sedona Hummingbird Festival; and up in the White Mountains, the 14th Annual High Country Hummers Event is taking place in the Springerville-Eagar Sipe White Mountain Wildlife Area. Details about these events are the cover story in this week’s edition of The Rim Review. Below is a little bit of background about the “holiday” from the website www.gone-ta-pott.com. The holiday is for honoring and celebrating the beautiful and unique bird called the hummingbird. It is a treat to watch them eat and fly; so on this special day — or this weekend here in Arizona — go out and buy a hummingbird feeder and enjoy watching the life of a hummingbird. The origin of the celebration could not be found through

research, nor are there any congressional records or presidential proclamations for the day. Still, it’s a holiday that is publicized to celebrate. To celebrate, efforts are made to educate the public about hummingbirds and how to take care of it in gardens. According to Wikipedia “Hummingbirds are birds in the family Trochilidae, and are endemic to the Americas. They can hover in mid-air by rapidly flapping their wings 15-80 times per second (depending on the species). They can fly backward, and are the only group of birds able to do so. Their English name derives from the characteristic hum made by their wings. “Hummingbirds are small birds with long, thin bills. The bill, combined with an extendible, bifurcated tongue, allows the bird to feed upon nectar deep within flowers. The lower (mandible) can flex downward to create a wider bill opening; this facilitates the capture of flying insects in the mouth rather than at the tip of the bill.” While hummingbirds are small and delicate-looking, their appearance belies a ferocious, tenacity that enables many of them to fly thousands of miles from their winter range in Central and South America to summer in North America.

STRANGE BUT TRUE BY SAMANTHA WEAVER

2016 KING FEATURES SYND.

• It was notorious American self-described “gonzo journalist” Hunter S. Thompson who made the following sage observation: “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a ride!’” • Spread out your fingers as far as you can, then measure the distance between the end of your thumb and the opposite side of your palm. That distance is known as your shaftment. • Roto-Rooter, the plumbing and drain service company, conducts an annual survey of its technicians to find out what sorts of things are being found in customers’ pipes. Among the more interesting items over the years have been

Barbies, false teeth, TV remotes, alligators and sixpacks of beer. • Over the past 100 years, the life expectancy of the average American has risen from 47 to 78. • Those who study such things say that, on a per-capita basis, Canadians consume more macaroni and cheese than citizens of any other country in the world. • Railroads in Japan have a persistent problem: turtles. It seems the reptiles have a habit of wandering onto the tracks, and many of them get stuck between the switching rails. This prevents the switches from closing properly, causing train accidents. To address the problem, the West Japan Railway Company consulted with the Suma Aqualife Park in Kobe; together, they created tunnels under the tracks to allow the turtles to pass freely without endangering railway passengers — or themselves.

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

The mysterious rise in meat allergies BY KEITH ROACH, M.D.

2016 NORTH AMERICA SYND., INC.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I heard that there is a sudden surge in people coming down with severe meat allergies. Is there any information as to why, after years of eating red meat, you suddenly can become extremely allergic? -- E.V. ANSWER: Meat allergies are uncommon; however, there has been a recent surge of meat allergies due to tick bites. I have read that over 5,000 cases of meat allergy have been estimated in the U.S., mostly in the Southeast. The allergy is most often caused by a bite of the Lone Star tick, which carries the carbohydrate alpha-gal. If introduced into the bloodstream, it can cause a reaction from eating meat, especially beef, pork and lamb. Interestingly, it is much more likely in people with blood types A and O. It isn’t yet clear if the allergy will be temporary or long-lasting, but it can be very severe, and people who develop this allergy should avoid meat and carry an epinephrine device in case of exposure. DEAR DR. ROACH: A few days ago, I heard a report on breast cancer recurrence. I had cancer in my left breast in 1995, and on my right side in 2003. What are your thoughts on the subject? There is no history of breast cancer in my family. -- P.M. ANSWER: Breast cancer sometimes runs in families, but 70 percent to 80 percent of women with breast cancer have no family history. Once a woman has had breast cancer, she is at higher risk for developing a second breast cancer. Survivors of breast cancer should get regular physical exams and mammograms. A team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University re

cently published a study promising that in the near future, a new type of blood test may be able to identify DNA from breast cancer cells and find recurrence much earlier than current methods. If confirmed, this would be a big relief to the many women (and a few men) with breast cancer at risk for recurrence. DEAR DR. ROACH: Would you please address stem-cell treatment for a torn rotator cuff? My son is facing his second surgery for this problem and is considering stem-cell treatment instead. He had such terrible pain from surgery the first time. -- L.P. ANSWER: A torn rotator cuff is a common sports injury in athletes. Complete tears usually are repaired surgically. A new surgical technique is to inject the body’s own stem cells (obtained from the bone marrow) to help promote healing. It is too new of a technique for me to be able to compare it with standard surgical therapy, but the preliminary studies are very promising. I often have said that only an individual’s surgeon can decide the right surgical procedure, based on far more information than we could include in this column. It’s really true that you never trust anyone quite the way you trust your surgeon. There are surgeons who are using the stem-cell technique, and it would be reasonable to get a consultation with one of them. Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual letters, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Readers may email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu.

IN THE KITCHEN

Give new school year a healthy start BREAKFAST BITES

It is well-known that the best way to start the morning is with a balanced breakfast — it’s not called “the most important meal of the day” for nothing, after all. Breakfast is also linked to many health benefits, including weight control and improved performance. Studies show that eating a healthy breakfast can help you enjoy a more nutritionally complete diet that is higher in nutrients, vitamins and minerals, improved concentration and performance at the office or in the classroom, more strength and endurance, and lower cholesterol levels. According to the USDA’s MyPlate Food Guide, a healthy breakfast should contain a well-balanced variety of foods from the major food groups, including fruits, vegetables, whole grains, low- or non-fat dairy and lean protein. These recipes for Protein Pancakes, Pumpkin-Banana Bread and Oat Bran Blueberry Muffins from registered dietitian Shanna Stewart, of Wellness For The Win, can help you put your best foot forward to tackle everything the day ahead throws at you. Find these healthy recipes and more at culinary.net/bb. POWER-UP WITH PANCAKES

Breakfast food is delicious at any time of the day, but is the most beneficial when it packs a flavorful punch to help jump-start your day. Packed with protein, hearty whole-grain oats and banana, and topped with mounds of walnuts and sweet, delicious berries, such as strawberries, these mouth-watering pancakes will help give you the energy you need for any task at hand and keep you feeling full until lunchtime.

PROTEIN PANCAKES

1-1/2 cups quick oats 1 scoop vanilla protein powder 1 ripe mashed banana 1/2 cup fat free Greek yogurt or cottage cheese 1/4 cup almond or skim milk 2 egg whites 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/4 teaspoon baking soda Dash of cinnamon Berries (optional) Walnuts (optional) In blender, combine oats, protein powder, banana, Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, vanilla, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon. Blend until smooth batter forms. Cook on griddle until golden brown. Add mixed berries and walnuts (or other toppings) as desired.

Do not over-mix. Fill prepared muffin cups about three-quarters full. Bake 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown.

Variation: In place of blueberries, stir 1 medium mashed, ripe banana or any other fruit of choice into batter before baking. Source: Family Features/Culinary.net

WHY KIDS NEED PROTEIN AND HOW MILK CAN HELP

Family Features and Metro Creative Services photos

As families get ready for school to resume in the Rim Country, a new wrinkle is thrown into the day’s routine — getting the kids out the door fortified with a good breakfast: try pancakes; pumpkin-banana bread or healthy muffins for a start.

In medium bowl, whisk together flour, oats, sugar substitute, baking powder, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, ginger and cinnamon. Add flour mixture to banana and pumpkin mixture and beat until just moist. Pour batter into loaf pan and sprinkle with chocolate chips, if desired. Bake 50 to 60 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Note: It is best to store bread in airtight container in refrigerator for up to 5 to 7 days as healthy ingredient substitutions do not stay fresh as long. BREAKFAST ON THE GO

Muffins are perfect for an on-thego breakfast or as a healthy snack option. Homemade oat bran muffins are a great alternative to large, store-bought muffins that are usually packed with calories and fat. Oat bran is a good source of soluble fiber, which can help reduce cholesterol. Not only do these muffins offer health benefits, the recipe is also effortless, making it a morning time-saver when you need to get out the door in a hurry. You can also switch out blueberries for different fruits, such as a banana, giving you the option to have something new each time.

Serving suggestions: Pour the juice from the fruit on top of pancakes as “syrup” or top with reduced-sugar strawberry jelly and light syrup.

HEALTHY SPIN ON A BREAKFAST CLASSIC

Banana and pumpkin make for a delicious duo, so bringing them together in this spinoff of a classic recipe only seems right. Moist and delicious, and made with healthy substitutions your family will love, Pumpkin-Banana Bread makes for a quick, easy breakfast or a healthy anytime snack.

Making sure kids eat nutritious meals is often a parent’s top priority. Moms know good nutrition is essential for their child’s health, since developing and maintaining healthy habits as a kid can lead to lifelong benefits. That’s why it’s important to make sure kids get enough protein. Not only that, but it’s also important kids choose good-for-you protein foods, like milk. In addition to being a good source of high-quality protein, milk offers eight other essential nutrients, including calcium, vitamin D and potassium, which are three of the four nutrients most Americans — including children — are most likely missing in their diets. It’s important for kids to get protein at every meal, especially breakfast. Getting enough protein in the morning can help kids feel fuller, longer, so they can start the day off right. Beyond helping the body build and repair lean muscle, protein also impacts many different functions in growing bodies. For example, protein works together with key bone-building nutrients like calcium and vitamin D to help build healthy bones. Each 8-ounce serving of milk provides 8 grams of high-quality, natural protein. Milk is a complete protein, which means that every glass contains a full mix of the essential amino acids our bodies need. Without milk in their diets, it’s hard for kids to get nutrients they need to grow up strong. For kids 9 and older, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend three servings of lowfat or fat free milk and milk products each day and two and a half servings daily for children ages 4 to 8. You can feel good serving milk to your family since it’s one of the original farm-to-table foods and a wholesome, naturally nutrient-rich choice. Almost all U.S. households have dairy milk in their refrigerators and kids are some of the biggest fans. According to a survey, nine out of 10 kids age 8-12 said they love to drink milk for reasons such as because it’s good for them, it will help them grow and they love the taste. With nine essential nutrients in each 8-ounce glass, milk is a delicious and simple way to give kids a natural source of high-quality protein plus other nutrients they need. Try pairing this kid-friendly recipe for breakfast sushi with a glass of milk for a fun way to start their day with milk and protein.

PLEDGE TO PACK A HEALTHIER LUNCHBOX

If good eating habits have fallen by the wayside during the summer break, you can kick off this school year right by pledging to guide your family toward healthier lunches. “Back to school is a great time for families to make a healthy resolution they can carry on through the duration of the school year,” said Trish James, vice president, Produce for Kids. “As a mom of two boys, I understand the challenges parents face when packing a healthy, nutritious lunch for their children and for themselves. The Power Your Lunchbox Pledge was designed to help families tackle this universal challenge.” The initiative gives parents tools and tips — such as this time-saving makeahead pizza pocket recipe — to achieve a great start for back to school, while giving back to children in need.

Set the stage for success this school year TIPS FOR A SMOOTH TRANSITION BACK TO SCHOOL

For parents putting bright-eyed students on the bus for the very first time and for seasoned moms and dads who know the drill inside and out, gearing up for another year of school is a process. The shopping extravaganzas, trips to the doctor for physicals, endless forms and paperwork all culminate in a single moment: the first day back to school — Monday, Aug. 1 for Rim Country schools. Often, it’s this first day (or days) that set the tone for the school year to come. Help your child feel prepared and confident to tackle whatever the school year brings with these tips for a successful start. PLAN WELL-BALANCED MEALS

Summer break brings a lax approach to many aspects of life, and healthy eating is often one of them. However, nutrition plays an important role in overall development and countless studies show correlation between academic performance and good nutrition. As the school year approaches, work at creating healthy menus. If hectic scheduling makes it difficult to get well-balanced meals in lunchboxes and on the dinner table through the week, allocate a portion of the weekend for a family prep session. Check out the multiple resources on cooking once and eating for a week — it takes a lot of organization and a big chunk of time, but the time saved and the stress relieved during the week make up for the sacrifice. REINSTATE BEDTIMES

Easing back into earlier bedtimes will make things smoother for everyone when the alarms start ringing on early school day mornings. Well before the start of school, gradually back off more time each night — in 15-minute increments, for example — to get kids back in bed early enough to capture at least 10 hours of sleep, the amount recommended for school-aged children and adolescents by the National Institutes of Health. GET CREATIVE TO BOOST ENTHUSIASM

Part of the fun of heading back to the classroom is a shiny new set of supplies. Build your kids’ excitement by letting them select the tools they’ll use to bring home good grades, like pens and pencils. Despite a keyboard and touchscreen-driven world, sales of col-

or-focused products like felt-tip markers, porous (fine line) pens and colored pencils are on the rise. EXPLORE OUTSIDE ACADEMICS

Developing interests outside the classroom builds confidence and character, teaches discipline and may help reveal hidden passions or talents that translate into future scholarships or career choices. Now is an ideal time to explore the options available in your community and complete necessary registrations as many extracurricular activities are closely linked to the traditional school calendar. FOLLOW THE PAPER TRAIL

The volume of paperwork associated with sending a child to school can be

overwhelming. From registration forms and emergency contact sheets to physicals and immunization records, the list goes on and on. Keep on track with a list of all the materials you’re responsible for completing, along with special notes for those that require visits to the doctor’s office or other appointments. TAKE A TOUR

Especially for new students, but even for experienced kids, spend some time getting familiar with the school before the big day. Seeing the bus drop-off location, classroom, bathrooms, cafeteria and any other major features ahead of time can help soothe jitters and lets you proactively answer worries or questions about how those first days may unfold. HAVE A TRANSITION TRADITION

Celebrate the end of summer and the fresh start ahead by creating a special family tradition. It may be a final backyard campout for the season or a scrapbooking project that captures memories from the summer and describes goals for the school year. The time together to talk about what lies ahead can help get the family geared up for a successful school year. EXPRESS PERSONALITY WITH STYLE

Photo courtesy of Zebra Pens

While school supply lists are quite specific these days, there is no harm in letting your child enjoy some individuality in the choices of supplies they use during their “down” time.

Encouraging your child to develop his or her own unique personality can be tough with social “rules” and official policies that determine dress code, supplies and more. When you get down to it, though, there are dozens of ways to let kids explore personal expression without breaking any rules or subjecting them to unwanted attention. Accessories: Even at schools with uniforms or dress codes, there is some latitude when it comes to accessorizing. Dress codes vary, but many allow flexibility in things such as socks, shoes, hair bows and jewelry. School supplies: Let kids choose their own writing implements as a personal statement of self-expression, which is especially important to middle and high school students. With so many options, it’s easy to bypass the basic bargain selection and choose from an array of new designs and creative features. Personal space: For younger students, the area designated as a student’s own may be limited to a backpack or

storage cubby. For older kids, there’s an entire locker to consider. Customizing these personal areas lets kids assert a clear stamp of individuality. Photos, artwork and treasured mementos bring these personal spaces to life. Source: Zebra Pen

NEW (SCHOOL) YEAR, NEW YOU MAKE FAMILY RESOLUTIONS THAT STICK

Forget Jan. 1 — Parents know the real new year begins when you can smell the fresh pink erasers and hear the clatter of brand new pencils on stillsmooth notebook covers. Even if you don’t have kids in school, the end of summer and the beginning of fall is a great time to reassess, realign, hit the restart button and make resolutions that will help carry your family smoothly through until next summer — or at least until the holidays. Here are some tips from parents about resolutions they’ve made for the coming school year: LEARN TO LOVE MORNINGS

My Life and Kids blogger Anna Luther said she used to hate mornings. “It was a disaster,” she said. “There was a lot of yelling, a lot of missing socks, a lot of arguments about eating a good breakfast — it was just not the way to start a productive, happy day.” Luther decided to turn the first — and worst — hour of her day into one of the best by waking up earlier, exercising and turning on music. Luther also changed the way she looked at breakfast. “It doesn’t have to be from scratch,” she said, “but it does have to have protein — and be fast. We love frozen breakfast burritos, for example.”

EMPOWER THE KIDS

Luther said that another thing that made mornings exhausting was that she tried to do everything herself, from finding socks and brushing hair to heating up healthy breakfasts. But kids are eager to help, she said. Just like adults, they feel empowered when they can do things for themselves. Luther decided to empower her kids and simplify her life at the same time by creating “Get Ready Buckets,” which hold everything they need to get moving CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

Celebrating hummingbirds around Arizona BY TERESA MCQUERREY RIM REVIEW EDITOR

This weekend hummingbirds are being celebrated around the state at several different events. SIERRA VISTA

Down in Sierra Vista at 4 p.m., Thursday, July 28 it’s hummingbird banding session. There are 10 species of hummingbirds that use San Pedro River as a freeway between tropical winter retreats and northern nesting grounds. At the Sierra Vista event enjoy a fascinating and close up look at these tiny travelers as staff and volunteers from the Southeastern Arizona Bird Observatory capture, band, measure, and release them as part of a long-term study of the bird life of this internationally important migration route. To learn more, go online to http:// SierraVistaAZ.gov. SEDONA

The Fifth Annual Sedona Humming bird Festival, headquartered at the Sedona Performing Arts Center, is Friday, July 29 through Sunday, July 31. The facility is at Sedona Red Rock High School, 995 Upper Red Rock Loop Road, Sedona. The event includes presentations by hummingbird experts in many interest areas: science, gardening, photography, conservation and regional species stud-

While we expect hummingbirds to go for the nectar in blossoms, apparently they are aware of other places on a plant where sustenance can be found

ies. There will also be tours, $25 for a one-day pass to presentations and $70 for at three-day pass to presentations; children under 12 free with a paying adult. Some of the featured speakers this year are Julie Zickefoose, Dr. Ross Hawkins, Dr. Susan Wethington, Mark Fleming and Beth Kingsley Hawkins. Most tickets for the event were sold online and some of the programs have sold out. To learn what events remain available, call 800-529-3699 or go online to: http://www.sedonahummingbirdfestival.com/ SPRINGERVILLE-EAGAR

The 14th Annual High Country Hummers Event is from 8 a.m. to noon, Saturday, July 30 at the Sipe White

Mountain Wildlife Area south of Eagar. It is hosted by the Arizona Game and Fish Department. This year’s event will help celebrate the centennial anniversary of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, a federal law that has had significant impact on conserving the nation’s migratory bird species. The festival is one of the featured events in the state to celebrate this important milestone. Sheri Williamson, one of the nation’s foremost experts on hummingbirds, will lead a capture and bird-banding event with a group of volunteers. Guests will also have the opportunity to observe researchers up close as they handle, measure and band these flying jewels. Additionally a program on humming CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

bird life history, a program on beginning bird-watching and a live wildlife exhibit are planned. There will also be plant displays for attracting hummingbirds, live wildlife from the department’s Wildlife Center, a wildlife walk with a naturalist, activities and talks designed for children, informational talks about hummingbirds, and a workshop on photographing hummingbirds. This is a free, family-friendly event, taking place from 8 a.m. to noon. For more information go online to: http://www.azgfd. gov/outdoor_recreation/hummingbird.shtml. While the festival is free to the public, the department is asking guests to consider donating new, unopened bags of pure cane sugar to help feed all of these magnificent birds. Every year, Sipe uses up to 700 pounds of sugar to make the hummingbird food for the feeders around the property. A donation station will be set up in the Visitors Center. The Sipe Wildlife Area is located southeast of Eagar and Springerville. From Eagar, take Highway 191 toward Alpine for about two miles to the signed turnoff at the top of the first hill. Drive south five miles to the Sipe property on a gravel road suitable for passenger cars. The Round Valley Chamber of Commerce will be providing breakfast items and lunch concessions for purchase. Pets must be kept on leash and are not allowed near live wildlife. For more information, visit www.azgfd.gov/outdoor_recreation/hummingbird.shtml.

Capturing a hummingbird at rest is quite a feat. About 90 percent of the time we only see them in motion.

Work with your children as they decide which extracurricular activities in which to participate. Outside the classroom they will meet different people, learn life lessons and begin to build more well-rounded lives. And while you are helping get your own children ready for a new school year, if you can, help Payson Community Kids get children in need ready too.

School starts August 1 – are you ready? FROM PAGE 5

in the morning, from hairbrushes to socks. That same message of empowerment can simplify and improve other stressful times of day. Do the kids walk in the door hungry and cranky and leave you feeling the same way? Stock the freezer with hearty snacks that kids can heat up on their own. APPRECIATE OTHERS

Blogger Kristyn Merkley of Lil’ Luna, has resolved to show the teachers in her life how much she and her family appreciate them. “Our teachers put so much time and effort into their jobs,” Merkley said, “and we’re so grateful for that.” While she usually gives teachers a gift card at the end of the year, she doesn’t wait until then to send notes and emails with a simple, “Thank you.” She also makes sure to say thanks in person — and in front of her kids. MAKE FUN A PRIORITY

There are plenty of must-dos on your list every day, but is fun one of them? Merkley said it should be, and she’s making family fun a resolution this school year. She collects activities on her blog that kids and adults can do together and plans family fun nights around them. “When we laugh and make things and learn things together,” she said, “we’re making memories. I want my kids to remember their childhoods as more than just getting to school on time and cleaning their rooms.”

BE A TEAM

Kristy Denney, of the Boys Ahoy blog, is raising three wild boys, as she calls them. But even the wildest of kids wants to know that you’re on their team — and they’re on yours. Denney and her husband, Brett, chose a family motto for the school year so that everyone on their family team knows what they’re working toward. As their motto, the Denneys chose, “Work hard and be nice.” It’s simple, succinct and sums up what they want for their family.

FUEL UP WITH REAL FOOD

Kids have to eat, and most insist on eating three or more times a day. Denney said she loves to cook from scratch, but she doesn’t want time in the kitchen to keep her away from her fami-

ly. So, this year, she’s resolving to focus on what’s important: real ingredients. “Sometimes I’ll buy the ingredients myself to cook from scratch and sometimes I’ll look for foods I recognize on the label,” she said. MAKE SNACKS WORK HARD

Jess Kielman, who writes the blog Mom 4 Real, said that snacking can sometimes be a problem in her house. Kids (and adults) sometimes snack because they’re bored — or just out of habit, so she’s reining in snack time and making snacks work just as hard as meals. “Protein and real food — that’s what I’m going to look for in afternoon snacks,” she said. “Something that fills the kids up and gets them ready to get back out the door and play, or buckle down and do their homework.” Source: El Monterey

WAYS TO MAKE MORNINGS LESS HECTIC

Many families find the rush is on to make it to school and work on time each morning. Feeling rushed in the morning is a recipe for added stress. Rushing through things is a poor way to begin a day, and those feelings of uneasiness can put a damper on the rest of the day ahead. Making mornings less hectic involves a few different strategies that parents and kids can easily incorporate into their daily routines. • Wake up slightly earlier. Getting up earlier than normal, even if it’s just 15 to 20 minutes before you’re accustomed to getting out of bed, can help reduce morning stress. Resist the temptation to hit the snooze button over and over again. A few extra minutes each morning can make you feel more relaxed and make for a smooth, stress-free start to the day. • Get some work done the night before. Prepare lunches the night before and have them ready in the refrigerator. In addition, lay your clothes for the following day out each night. This saves time and takes a couple more things off your morning to-do list. • Prep backpacks in the evening. Look through folders, sign paperwork, check assignments, and do whatever it is you need to do the night before to save your family from having to scramble in the morning. This ensures those permission slips get signed and items make it back into school bags.

• Opt for school lunch a few times. Look ahead on the school lunch menu and speak with children about which meals they enjoy. Let kids purchase school lunch on those days to give yourself a day off from lunch detail. • Have quick breakfast foods available. Smoothies, cereal bars, oatmeal and whole-grain cereals are fast and nutritious ways to start the day. • Carpool whenever possible. Busy families can save themselves extra work by proposing a neighborhood carpool. Sharing school drop-off detail frees time up for parents once or twice a week, and kids may enjoy traveling to school with their friends. Mornings can be tricky when family members are getting ready for school and work at the same time. By practicing a few daily rituals, it’s possible to curb the rush and start the day happier and more relaxed. HOW TO CREATE A GREAT HOME STUDY ENVIRONMENT

A student’s academic performance is influenced by a host of factors, including the learning environment both inside the classroom and at home. While students may have only limited control over the environment in their classrooms, they and their parents can do much to create home study environments that are conducive to learning. • Create a “distraction-free” zone — Today’s students are inundated with distractions. Whereas students were once most distracted by radios, televisions and the great outdoors when studying at home, nowadays kids must also find time to focus on their studies with their tablets and smartphones just a stone’s throw away. When choosing a study area at home, parents can designate a “distraction-free” zone where no televisions, radios, tablets and smartphones are allowed. Children are increasingly dependent on their smartphones and tablets, and while such devices can sometimes prove useful to students, that benefit is often outweighed by the distraction they present. When kids study at night, be sure they turn off their smartphones and only use their tablets as study aids. • Emphasize organization — Various organization techniques can help kids be more efficient when studying. Encourage kids to separate their learning materials by subject, and keep a calendar or daily planner at home listing when their

assignments are due and which days they will be tested. Encourage youngsters to keep their home study areas tidy as well, as unorganized areas can make it harder to focus or force kids to spend some of their study time cleaning up. • Establish quiet hours at home — Quiet hours at home while kids are studying can help them better absorb their coursework, and that may lead to improved performance in the classroom. While it’s important that a kids’ study areas remain distraction-free, it can also help if distractions outside those areas are minimized. Keep televisions and other potentially noisy distractions turned off while kids are studying. If you want to catch up on a favorite television show or watch a movie, do so on your tablet instead of the television, connecting earphones so kids are not overhearing anything while they’re trying to study. • Keep healthy snacks on hand. Hunger can be just as distracting as electronics or noisy housemates, so keep healthy snacks on hand. In lieu of unhealthy fare like potato chips or empty calories like pretzels, keep your home stocked with fruits and vegetables and protein-rich snacks like Greek yogurt. Such snacks will quell kids’ hunger pangs while also providing a boost of energy. A strong home study environment can help students do their best in the classroom.
