One of my fav pictures of Kathy and me at our NJSSNA Spring 2023 Conference! Kathy McCutcheon, MSN, RN, NCSN, did her school nurse practicum in my office in 2003. She was an experienced nurse who had returned to school for her school nurse certification. She landed in my health office, beginning a friendship of two decades.

Here’s a fun video about high school football coach, Kevin Kelly of Pulaski Academy in Little Rock, Arkansas, who never punts, regardless of his field position. On kickoffs, he kicks nothing but onside kicks. This is an excellent example of a coach who has re-examined conventional thinking about his sport and defied public pressure to use a strategy that seems to work better.

I am a firm believer in the power of storytelling. Our stories help us connect with others, build empathy and understanding, and inspire change. This is particularly true in the field of school nursing, where our stories can shed light on the vital role that school nurses play in the health and well-being of our students. Every school nurse has a story to tell, from the challenges we face in providing care to students with complex health needs to the joys we experience when we see a child thrive

Physical education is an important part of the development of the whole person: physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively. By providing education in movement competency, education on using movement to develop the ability to be self-regulated and motivated, and education through movement to develop ‘habits of mind’ for positive and constructive engagement with others, PE provides a basis for personal and community health and wellbeing.

The Native American Game Chunkey (which also goes by Chunky, Chenco, Tchung-kee, or the Hoop and Stick Game) has similarities to sports like shuffleboard or bocce ball. Another version of this game was played in the Northeast, known as the hoop and pole game. The game aims to get a throwing spear as close to a moving disc-shaped target as possible. One player would roll the stone, and another player(s) would throw their spear before the stone stopped.

As the warmer temperatures begin to roll across the country, most kids in school simply can’t wait to get outside and play. My favorite time in school was always recess. However, for many children recess is a time wrought with fears of social engagements and anxiety of being ridiculed on the playground. Being picked last or not at all for a quick game of kickball or basketball can leave a lasting impression on the social confidence of a child.
