Dear Friends, Roland Park Community –
Thank you for about forty parents and members of the staff for coming yesterday to PTA general meeting and wellness event.Thank you especially for those who made the evening possible and inspired us: JoAnne Huey, our adorable PTA president, facilitated the event; Kathy Vizachero guided us through a reflection concerning life work balance, focusing on the concept of simplicity; Kirigo Kabuga led us into zumba and zumba we did, swirls, shakes, elevated hands, smile, and all; Jane Marinelli lined us up in a massage train, taught us to massage our heads, and relax our bodies; Kathy and Leslie Jamka came greetings from the Green Team and inspired us with some ideas for healthy lunch boxes; Christopher Gardner supervised the nine middle-school-age babysitters and the twenty elementary school children; Michael, Oliver, Sophie, Eva, Hailey, Peter, Anisha, Lukas, and Katrina earned service hours baby-sitting and getting all sweaty from running around. A warm thanks to all!
A lot is going on in this active community of ours. The Wellness Committee is pleased to do its share and steer us through the Healthy School Recognition process. Our school is signed up to follow the Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Healthy School program. They offer a great program and have fabulous resources for everybody – school, families, children. To learn more, please enjoy the site at www.healthiergeneration.org.
I overslept this morning, first time in about twenty years. Was it because Kathy taught us to simplify our lives or because Kirigo’s zumba just finished me off or because Jane made me so relaxed that I could care less about the alarm?
Be well! Enjoy! Celebrate life's lessons, zumba, massages, and all the other good stuff!
On the behalf of RPEMS Wellness Committee, Maiju Lehmijoki-Gardner, mother of Oliver (7) and Lukas (6)
