Back in September, I shared with you that Anthony DiCarlo had been appointed to the interim principal position beginning November 16. While the local area prepared for some winter weather, it was already snowy in the front hallway at Kent Elementary School thanks to our kindergarten students in Caroline Thaler's class! Kent Elementary kindergarten and first-grade students practiced jumping, leaping and hopping from hoop to hoop while playing Pac-Man tag in the gym! There is no doubt that peer relationships begin to increase the importance and influence during the early years of elementary school.

As part of a required school health examination, a student is weighed, and his/her height is measured. These numbers are used to figure out the student’s body mass index . The BMI helps the doctor or nurse know if the student’s weight is in a healthy range or is too high or too low. Recent changes to the New York State Education Law require that BMI and weight status groups be included as part of the student’s school health examination. A sample of school districts will be selected to take part in a survey by the New York State Department of Health.
