Summer Street School
Summer Street School Newsletter November 2017 Issue 3 Dear Summer Street Families and Friends: What a pleasure to return to school last week and find everything functioning so smoothly! This is a credit to Assistant to the Principal Lorie Kelly and the entire staff! By all accounts, Ms. Kelly did an outstanding job supporting teachers, addressing inquiries from parents, organizing professional development and committee meetings and teaching her fourth-grade students while I was away on my trip. Special thanks as well to Emily Schelzi, a former Summer Street teacher who co-taught Ms. Kelly’s fourth-grade class during this period. Many people have asked me about my trip. My wife, Katy and I over a year ago planned a month-long trip to Rwanda and Tanzania to learn more about these two countries and to see the game. This was my third trip to East Africa but Katy’s first. In Rwanda, we visited the Genocide Memorial Museum and learned about the reconciliation process that has taken place since the 1994 genocide in which almost a million Rwandans were killed within a 100-day period. Having visited Rwanda 28 years ago, just before the strife that led to the genocide erupted, I was amazed by the progress I saw during this trip. Rwanda is a dynamic country experiencing remarkable economic growth. Paul Kagame, the president since 1994, has put in place a number of reforms to both heal and modernize the country, including universal health care, universal primary and secondary education, internet service covering 95% of the country, and a nationwide community service program which requires every Rwandan to complete service in his or her village the last Saturday morning of every month. -
March 3, 2017 the Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States of America the White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
March 3, 2017 The Honorable Donald J. Trump President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20500 Dear President Trump: On behalf of the more than 500 undersigned organizations, we are writing to warn of the dire consequences of repealing the Prevention and Public Health Fund (the Prevention Fund), authorized under the Affordable Care Act. Repealing the Prevention Fund without a corresponding increase in the allocation for the Labor-Health and Human Services-Education appropriations bill would leave a funding gap for essential public health programs, and could also foretell deep cuts for other critical programs funded in the bill. Today, more than 12 percent of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) budget is supplied through Prevention Fund investments. This includes core public health programs that provide essential funds to help states keep communities healthy and safe, such as the 317 immunization program, epidemiology and laboratory capacity grants, the entire Preventive Health and Health Services (Prevent) Block Grant program, cancer screenings, chronic disease prevention and other critically important programs. For example, the Prevent Block Grant provides all 50 states, the District of Columbia, two American Indian tribes, and eight U.S. territories with flexible funding to address their unique public health issues at the state and community level. Despite the growing and geographically disparate burden of largely preventable diseases, health threats such as the opioid epidemic, and emerging infectious disease outbreaks such as the Zika virus, federal disease prevention and public health programs remain critically underfunded. Public health spending is still below pre-recession levels, having remained relatively flat for years. -

Student, Family, and Staff Perspectives on a New School
RESEARCHARTICLE ‘‘Can’t We Just Have Some Sazon?’’´ Student, Family, and Staff Perspectives on a New School Food Program at a Boston High School a b c d e f AVIK CHATTERJEE, MD, MPH GENEVIEVE DAFTARY, MD, MPH MEG CAMPBELL,MA LENWARD GATISON,BA LIAM DAY,MA KIBRET RAMSEY, g h ROBERTA GOLDMAN, PhD, MA MATTHEW W. GILLMAN,MD,SM ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In September 2013, a Massachusetts high school launched a nutrition program in line with 2013 United States Department of Agriculture requirements. We sought to understand attitudes of stakeholders toward the new program. METHODS: We employed community-based participatory research methods in a qualitative evaluation of the food program at the school, where 98% of students are students of color and 86% qualify for free/reduced lunch. We conducted 4 student (N = 32), 2 parent (N = 10), 1 faculty/staff focus group (N = 14), and interviews with school leadership (N = 3). RESULTS: A total of 10 themes emerged from focus groups and interviews, in 3 categories—impressions of the food (insufficient portion size, dislike of the taste, appreciation of the freshness, increased unhealthy food consumption outside school), impact on learning (learning what’s healthy, the program’s innovativeness, control versus choice), and concerns about stakeholder engagement (lack of student/family engagement, culturally incompatible foods). A representative comment was: ‘‘You need something to hold them from 9 to 5, because if they are hungry, McDonald’s is right there.’’ CONCLUSION: Stakeholders appreciated the educational value of the program but stakeholder dissatisfaction may jeopardize its success. Action steps could include incorporating culturally appropriate recipes in the school’s menus and working with local restaurants to promote healthier offerings. -
