Are Your Kids Immune Systems Ready For School?

A fter plenty of fun in the sun, it’s time to get back to routine for many busy families. If you transition right, the

return to school can mean the renewal of healthier habits for your kiddos (and yourself). Make this school year their healthiest yet with these immune boosting health tips. Make superfood smoothies for breakfast or travel meals, loaded with nutrients to sup-port healthy growth and immune function. Some great add-ins include: grass-fed colla-gen powder, MCT oil, chia seeds, coconut oil, turmeric powder, bee pollen, colostrum, butter oil, vitamin c powder, aloe vera extract, l-glutamine, d-ribose, Accell therapeutic pow-der, Paleogreens powder, FBR fiber powder, grass-fed whey protein, probiotic powder and stevia to sweeten (all available at our store). Pack healthy lunches including a wide variety of organic veggies and proteins and healthy fats. Some ideas include organic tur-key lettuce wraps, sliced hard-boiled eggs, carrot sticks and guacamole, grass-fed yogurt cups with raw nuts, and chocolate-avocado pudding. Get ‘em moving! Encourage them to join sports teams or recreational leagues. Bonus points for getting outside, the socialization aspect, and practicing team work.

Limit screen time and have a set bed time. We all need boundaries and can find freedom in discipline.

Have kids order from the “adult” menu restaurant versus the kid’s menu, where they can choose from an array of clean proteins, veggies, and non-GMO starches (ex: wild sockeye salmon with roasted broccoli and sweet potatoes).

For great meal ideas the whole family will enjoy, check out the recipes in our Cellu-lar Healing Diet cookbook (available at the store).

Crouse Run Nature Reserve by Gail Scott

A local walking trail on Wildwood Road is getting a facelift as part of the Crouse Run Nature Reserve restoration project. The work is being performed thanks to a grant re-ceived through the support of our local Harrisburg officials, Hal English and Randy Vulakovich. The RAD grant of $18,500

is to help with repairing and extending trails in the valley. The trail work is part of a restoration project for the entire Crouse Run Na-ture Reserve under the management of Pine Creek Land Conservation Trust. They will extend and open trails that display how the valley has been used by groups from the Native Americans up to the present day. This includes the tracks of the Butler Short Line that ran through

the valley and Bongiovanni's garden house, built in the 1920's. The foundation of that building which was later a dance hall, will be exposed and identified with signage. The work is being done by LandForce, a non-profit group which

HTSD Welcomes New Building Principals

The Hampton Township School District welcomes to the team Mr. Joshua Cable and Mr. Michael Silbaugh. At the August 7th meeting, the Board of School Directors unanimously approved Mr. Cable as the Assistant Principal at Hampton High School. Mr. Cable’s effective date of hire is August 1st, 2017. He is replacing Dr. Stephen Pellathy, who resigned in June. Mr. Cable previously served as an assis-tant principal and social studies teacher with Colleton County High School in Walterboro, S.C., from July 2009 through June 2017. He also has experience in a STEM School within a School Model, Project-Based Learning and developing positive cultures of learning. With his background as an assistant principal at Colleton County High School, he exhibited a sound decision-making framework based upon the law and best practices for high school ad-ministration. He possesses a master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Purdue Univer-sity, Calumet. “It is an honor to be joining the Hampton High School staff,” said Mr. Cable. “Coming from a one-to-one, project-based learning environment, I am excited to be involved in the Digital Transformation the District is un-dertaking. It is going to add a new avenue of learning and engagement for our students.” The Board also unanimously approved the appointment of Mr. Michael Silbaugh as the Assistant Principal at Hampton Middle School.

He is filling the former role of Mrs. Marlynn Lux, who was appointed by the Board of School Directors to serve as the HMS Principal on June 12th, 2017. Mr. Silbaugh previously served as the As-sistant Principal at Pine Richland High School from May 2012 to present. He holds a Level II Permanent Administrative Certificate and a master’s degree of science in curriculum and instruction from St. Vincent’s College. He is working toward a doctoral degree with Gan-non University. "I am extremely honored to be part of the Hampton Township School District,” said Mr. Silbaugh. “I look forward to collaborating with staff and community members to meet the needs of the students and carry on Hampton's tradition of excellence. Engaging in the work to ensure Hampton's vision for innovative teaching and learning will be an exciting op-portunity for my professional growth, which in turn will have an impact on the growth of our educational community as a whole." Mr. Silbaugh will be starting his new posi-tion at HMS on October 9th. Dr. Roberta Good – who has been serving as Acting Assistant Principal since June 2016, will graciously con-tinue serving the Middle School in that capaci-ty until Mr. Silbaugh’s arrival. “I am really looking forward to working with Mr. Silbaugh,” said Mrs. Lux. “He not only comes with a lot of administrative experience, but he also is very passionate and excited to work with middle school students.”

Breast Cancer Fundraiser

by John Kohler

Breast cancer affects everyone—it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman. That’s why I’m stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have. Since I’m in a position to make a difference within my community, I believe I have an obligation to do so. I’m wearing pink so that families like mine do not have to see their grandmothers, aunts, wives, sisters, mothers, and friends go through the trials of breast cancer and all the effects that it has on them and their loved ones. My hope is that in a short amount of time, no one else’s family members will have to go through what my fami-ly has endured with breast cancer. By raising money and awareness through REAL MEN Wear Pink, I’m helping to save more lives from breast cancer. Mark your calendar for Wednesday, October 18th at Jergels in Warrendale. If you would like to get involved, please visit: http://jergels.com/events/real-men-wear-pink-fundraiser/

Now that the new school year has started, it is time for all those interested in participating in Cub Scouts to find a home. Luckily Hampton Township has two local packs for Cub Scouts to choose from. Both offer great programs for young boys to learn important life lessons, build friend-ships, experience new adventures, and start the path to Eagle Scout. Pack 13 meets on Monday evenings at Park-wood Presbyterian on Mount Royal Boulevard, and Pack 195 meets on Tuesday nights at St. Catherine of Sweden Church (off Vitullo Drive, by the Wildwood post office). This program year starts in September and ends in May, with summer activities abounding. The two important dates for information and registra-tion are:

Pack 13 – Meeting on September 11th at Parkwood Presbyterian; please contact Bjorn Dakin at 412-400-2409 or [email protected] for more information.

field trips to the 911th Airlift Wing, Phipps Conservatory, Camp Guyasuta, Camp Heritage, Beechwood Farms, and many other in-teresting places around Pittsburgh. Our existing dens are always looking for new members so all ages in grades 1st through 5th are welcome. Pack 195 is also piloting a Kindergarten Program this year called Lion Cubs. It does not meet as often as regular dens but it is a great introduction to the full-blown program. This year all newly registered scouts will receive a rod and reel, new tackle pack, and big smiles. This program is highly rewarding program for those that invest in it.

That is the opportunity that a few local boys got to partake in this summer. Boy Scout troops from all over the world, including a few from right here in Hamp-ton, got to travel to a special reservation

in West Virginia and participate in the National Jamboree. This National Jambo-ree only happens every 4 years, and it is a great honor for the boys. The boys, ages fourteen to seventeen, participated in

various high adventure activities, such as rapelling and shotgun shooting. A total of over 40,000 people includ-ing the Scouts themselves along with the Scout Leaders met in this conglomerate, and for most, it was a once in a lifetime experience. Yes, President Donald Trump

came and spoke to the group; but addi-tionally, and even more importantly, the boys got a won-derful team building as well as an inde-pendent growth ex-perience. From white water rafting to shooting shotguns, what a character building experience this was. “It really is an amazing oppor-tunity for the boys,” said Jen Colwell,

mother of two from Hampton that got to participate in the Jamboree. “It was a high adventure experience!”

Jamboree (Continued from page 1) Hampton is proud to host these brave Boy Scout troops, and proud to have sent them to the Jamboree. The Scouts’ pride is mirrored throughout Hampton as well. What an experience for these boys, and what a story for this community! Now, would you like to travel to West Virginia to join a force of 40,000 boys in activities such as rock climbing, white water rafting, or ziplining?
