In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk about ways to create healthier more sustainable schools and give great tips on making school lunches. As you can imagine, Shoshana makes sure to have a voice in the decisions that are being made in their children's school. Everything from nutrition, fitness, mindfulness, and waste is important to us in our family, and we want our children having those values carried over into their school experiences from themselves and their friends. The tricky part is how to institute change without getting pushback before you even open the door; something she has done somewhat elegantly. Hopefully, by the end of this episode, Adam feels like he understands why Shoshana spends this time at the school instead of with the family.  Please share this episode with any value-driven parents who want to see a change in their children's schools. In this episode we discuss:  Schools committees  Why make the commitment  What vocabulary to use Make a list  How to approach topics Full inclusion School lunches Buying junk and fundraisers Special events The environment Charities 

Gun violence, leading to the deaths of two Baltimore students, cast a shadow over the start of the school year. Annette Anderson, deputy director of the Johns Hopkins ‘Center for Safe and Healthy Schools,' is a former principal--and the parent of three teens in Baltimore City public schools. She says violence prevention starts with positive relationships, “Our young people may not always connect with their classroom teacher, but it may be a lunchroom aide, it may be the custodian, it may be the school secretary that they connect with. We need to have enough caring adults trained in the building to help our young people connect and learn how to diffuse conflict.” Check out this Hopkins' Hub article on preventing gun violence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today's guest is is Kristin Moore, the Vice President of Market Segments at Armstrong World Industries. We'll talk about the importance of indoor environmental quality in creating and maintaining healthy learning spaces for kids. We'll cover initiatives like the Armstrong Healthy Spaces Ecosystem, the Clean Air in Buildings Challenge, and the Lancet COVID-19 Commission. She'll also provide some suggestions on how schools can use ESSER funds to address environmental quality issues in schools before the funds expire. This episode is sponsored by Armstrong World Industries.

Erika and Monica go back to school to understand the dire state of indoor air quality in the buildings at the heart of the Healthy Buildings Movement: U.S. K–12 schools. They connect with healthy schools advocates around the country and talk to Tracy Washington Enger at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency about the rock stars who are making an impact in their school districts.Click here for the show notes.

"Six air changes per hour and HEPA grade filtration of indoor air for our children is an investment in their futures for long beyond when the COVID-19 pandemic fades from view. We know there is poor indoor air quality in multiple schools, from inadequate ventilation to air pollution to wildfire smoke. Kids learn better and have less absenteeism in healthy air. COVID-19 has just added fuel to that fire. Let this be a torch to light our way forward to healthy indoor air- starting right now. Most importantly, we need to make sure this opportunity is available to all children, particularly those who have often been left behind in this pandemic. Heartbreakingly, there are kids who never logged on last year or showed up to school, and may have families afraid to send them this year. There are federal funds available from the COVID-19 relief bills to ensure that we can provide this assistance even to already financially-distressed schools. Nothing will ever make our children completely safe, which is the persistent ache of being a parent. However, they deserve a school year in person if possible, and we as the adults in their lives, should do our best to make sure they get it. Don't buy your kids' teachers apples this year. Get them some HEPA filters." Erika Maria Moseson is a pulmonary and critical care physician. She shares her story and discusses her KevinMD article, "Clearing the air our kids share: a prescription for healthy schools." Reflect and earn 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 CME for this episode.

The pandemic has shown many school districts how important school nurses are to a successful school district. Despite everyone knowing about school nursing, many educators don't realize all that school nurses do for students on any given day.In this episode, Donna Mazyck, the Executive Director of the National Association of School Nurses, shares her own experiences as a school nurse and the real impact school nurses have on students. Donna further shares how district leaders can fund school nursing through health care funding instead of education funding.Check out the Healthy Schools Campaign to learn how to leverage COVID relief funds and Medicaid to establish long-term school nursing and school health programs. Donna Mazyck (@DonnaMazyck)National Association of School Nurses (@schoolnurses)Subscribe to SchoolCEO at SchoolCEO.com for more advice, stories, and strategies for leading your schools.
