Back to school shopping sales have long been indicators that the summer vacation season is coming to a close. Students and their parents may visit area stores or browse online looking for items to make the coming school year a success. Those lists have looked similar for decades, but shopping for school supplies in the pandemic era may prove to be a unique experience.

enrolled in virtual learning. Back to school shoppers may purchase less clothing and focus more on tech items, among others.

• Traditional supplies become less necessary: In 2020, Deloitte forecasted that a shift in preferences and intentions would result in parents buying fewer traditional supplies, such as notebooks and office supplies, as they chose to invest in digital resources to supplement children’s education. That shift likely will continue into this school year.

Though hundreds of millions of adults and adolescents have now been vaccinated against COVID-19, there figures to be some lingering effects of the pandemic during the upcoming school year.

That could affect which school supplies families buy in the weeks to come. Here’s a look at some of the latest trends.

St. Jude Walk/Run Registration Now Open For Supporters To Step Up, Sign Up Tweezerman, Meehan’s of Huntington, Island Pavement and Construction, Fortunoff, and Publishers Clearing House.

Participants from coast to coast come together as one in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which is leading the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other lifethreatening diseases.

The inclusive nature of the hybrid St. Jude Walk/ Run makes it possible for everyone to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in their own way by participating in September 25th event wherever and however they can while following local health guidelines.

Thanks to events such as the St. Jude Walk/ Run and the dedicated supporters participating this year, families never receive a bill from St. Jude for treatment, travel, housing or food – because all a family should worry about is helping their child live.

The St. Jude Walk/Run registration is now open!

The St. Jude Walk/Run event date is Saturday, September 25, 2021.

The St. Jude Walk/ Run of Long Island will take place at the Marcum Corporate Headquarters located at 10 Melville Road, Melville, New York 11747. Registration begins at 9am and the walk will kick off at 10am.

• Support for local retailers: Community spirit grew in the early days of the pandemic and continues now.

Many people prefer to shop in locally owned stores.

Eighty percent of customers surveyed feel more or as connected to their communities, according to the business industry consultant company Accenture.

• Customers are trying new brands and products: Shoppers are trying new products out of curiosity as well as necessity. Back to school shopping may include novel brands and other items that may not have been readily purchased in years past.

Back to school shopping may continue to look a bit different than in previous years, spawning trends that may ultimately become the new normal.

• A shift from physical stores: According to data from IBM’s U.S. Retail Index, the pandemic has accelerated a shift away from physical stores to digital shopping by about five years. It’s likely that school shoppers will turn to the internet for their supplies, which means local brick and mortar shops should increase their web presence and digital shopping capabilities to reach online shoppers. • Reassessment of what’s essential: The pandemic This includes omnichannel fulfillment, such as buy may have changed which items consumers consider online and pickup in store (BOPIS) options. essential.

Back To School How To Support Students Interested In The Arts

Schools are diverse communities in which people from all walks of life gather to teach, learn and pursue an assortment of interests and passions.

Students are perhaps the best reflection of that diversity, as even small schools are home to young people who excel in sports, music, theatre, and of course, academics.

Many young people harbor a strong interest in the arts, which can provide some surprising benefits. For example, the National Endowment for the Arts reports that students with high arts participation and low socioeconomic status have a 4 percent dropout rate. That’s five times lower than their low socioeconomic status peers. In addition, a report from the Rice Kinder Institute for Urban Research found that arts education experiences reduce the proportion of students in school receiving disciplinary infractions by 3.6 percent.

Despite the myriad benefits of participation in arts education, which can include improved

performance in the classroom, Americans for the Arts notes that not all students have access to art-based educational experiences.

Parents of students who are interested in the arts can try various approaches to nurture those interests.

• Support school-based arts education programs.

Funding for arts programs is perpetually in jeopardy.

Each state and school district is different, but a 2013 report from the National Association of State Boards of Education found that federal funding for arts and humanities programs totaled roughly $250 million a year, while the National Science Foundation received around $5 billion annually. Arts and sciences are both important, and parents can support legislation that directs more federal funding for the arts while urging local legislators to direct more money to arts education.

• Make art a part of life at home. Americans for the Arts recommends that parents make the arts part of life at home.

Participating alongside children as they sing, dance, draw, play music or pursue other artsbased interests is a great way to incorporate the arts into home life while showing kids how fun the arts can be.

• Research local performing arts schools.

Children who exhibit an especially strong interest in the arts may benefit from enrolling in a school that specializes in performing arts.

Such schools may be open to kids as young as five and extend all the way through high school. Some performing arts schools require prospective students to audition or apply.

Arts high schools still offer instruction in core academic subjects, but parents should explore each school’s curriculum before deciding if a given school is right for their children.

Arts education can have a profound impact on the life of a young person.

There are many ways for parents to nurture and encourage their children’s interest in the arts.

Back To School Tips For Dorm Room And Campus Safety

Life on a college campus can be exciting, especially for freshmen enjoying their first taste of life away from home. As exciting as campus life can be, it also can be a bit nervewracking for students who have never before had to fend for themselves.

Administrators and security personnel work to make school environments as safe as possible, but incidents can happen on any campus. A recent report from Campus Safety and Security, there were 38,100 reported criminal offenses, including burglary and identity theft, on college campuses in the United States in 2017.

stairwells are common places for assailants to target victims. If you ever feel uncomfortable, trust your instincts and err on the side of caution.

• Hide or lock up valuables. You never know what may catch the eye of a thief. Devices and cash are near the top of lists of most commonly stolen possessions, but a desperate student may steal notes or even expensive textbooks if he or she is struggling.

Always close doors and lock dorm rooms when leaving.

Keep valuables out of sight at school. Consider buying a dorm room safe and lock your locker at all times.

• Prepare for emergencies.

Research the school’s policies on emergency preparedness.

Some have text alert systems for emergency situations like adverse weather conditions, while others have clear guidelines on what students should do

• Install window alarms.

Many retailers sell batteryoperated window alarms that can be adhered to windows. The alarms will activate if the window is opened or the glass breaks.

These alarms can provide extra security even if your dorm room isn’t on the ground floor.

Neelma Khan, MD Joins New York Health New York Health (NYHealth) is proud to announce that boardcertified family medicine physician Neelma Khan, MD, will join its dedicated team. She will be practicing at 1061 North Broadway, Second Floor, North Massapequa, NY 11758.

Dr. Khan will work with board-certified family practice physician Michael J. DiGiovanna D.O., CPI, and is thrilled to be a part of NY Health’s expanding practice.

“I am excited to be part of an organization that brings specialists together in one office, allowing patients to have one central location for all their healthcare needs,” she said.

Growing up in New York City, Dr. Khan witnessed the disparities of the immigrant populations without access to quality care. As a result, it inspired her to go into medicine and be part of that change.

NEELMA KHAN, MD “The most rewarding aspect of my job is I can treat anyone from obstetric patients and children from birth to geriatrics,” Dr. Khan said.

Dr. Khan completed her undergraduate degree in Biology from SUNY Buffalo State College.

She went on to pursue her medical degree at UNIBE (Universidad Iberoamericana) in the

Dominican Republic.

She then completed her Family Medicine Residency at Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, where she put her passion for health and wellness into practice.

She is fluent in English, Spanish, Punjabi, and Urdu.

To make an appointment with Dr. Khan, please call (631) 758-7003. For more information, visit www. nyhealth.com About New York Health At New York Health, we provide highly professional, sensitive, and personalized care. All of our patients become part of the NY Health family and we will continuously strive to achieve our main goal - to deliver the best medical care possible with your well being in mind.

• Be alert when ridesharing. The safety resource Safety.com says rideshare crimes are on the rise. Always identify your driver and vehicle before getting in and ask the driver to identify your name, as he or she will have it and your destination. Wait for the

ride in a safe place, and try to avoid riding alone.

• Maintain personal health. Be sure to visit the doctor and stay current on necessary vaccinations, such as the one for meningococcal disease. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the risk for meningococcal disease in college students is slightly higher than the risk in other teens and young adults who are not attending college. Other communicative diseases can spread more easily on campus as well.

Campus and dorm safety is multifaceted. Informed students can reduce their risk of being involved in accidents or being targeted by criminals.

Community Invited To Help Feed Our Neighbors The food supply at food banks historically drops off in summertime. Coupled with the pandemic and its after-effects, replenishing the diminishing food supply at this time is even more urgent.

Back To School When It’s Time To Call In A Tutor

SUFFOLK ZONE 5 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY AUGUST 18, 2021 - AUGUST 31, 2021 • WWW.LONGISLANDMEDIAGROUP.COM

Busy schedules, hybrid learning and demanding coursework have affected students’ academic performance over the last year-plus. The months since a pandemic was declared in March of 2020 have been unlike any other, and confronting the academic challenges of the pandemic may have adversely affected some students’ grades.

A recent report from the Fairfax County Public Schools Office of Research and Strategic Improvement in Virginia found the number of middle and high school students with two or more failing marks increased by 83 percent in the first quarter of the 2020-2021 school year compared to the year prior, but students’ grades may slide or they may find certain school work overly challenging even in normal years. Since many parents have not seen a periodic table or had to solve high school math problems in decades, tutors may be just what students need to regain their academic footing.

Failing grades are not necessarily the most notable indicator that students can benefit from the services of a tutor. The Princeton Review says 25 percent of high school students say homework is their biggest source of stress, and homework progress can help parents determine if it’s time to call in a tutor. Students who find their homework is taking too long, particularly double or triple the amount of time it once required, may need some extra help.

Here are some additional indicators that a tutor may be needed.

• Declining test scores: Some students are simply poor test takers, but a gradual or sudden decline in test scores may indicate students are having trouble mastering material.

Teachers can pinpoint if certain concepts are overly challenging to students and notify parents if there are any problem areas.

How Students Can Transition To Life On A College Campus

community. The Health, Counseling and Disability Access Services at the University of MissouriSt. Louis urges students to take advantage of opportunities to engage in their new communities as early as possible. The HCDAS notes that firstyear experiences are designed to help students connect with their new life on campus and make new friends. All incoming freshmen are facing the same set of unique circumstances as the 202122 school year begins. That includes the adjustment from remote learning with limited social contact with peers to a return to more traditional academic and social settings. Navigating that transition alongside Some students may other incoming freshmen be a little anxious as can make it a little easier they prepare to return to handle. to campus this fall.

The transition go smoothly. sooner families learn these policies, the sooner they in the can begin planning for life • Engage Much has been made of the challenges that have faced students and their families during the COVID-19 pandemic. The shift to remote learning and shortened school days was difficult for many families, forcing students to adapt to virtual school on the fly as their parents adjusted to working from home full-time while doing their best to keep kids engaged in their studies and occupied when school let out each day.

Given those challenges, it’s no wonder so many families are looking forward to what figures to be a more normal school year in 2021-22, but that return will pose its own unique challenges as well.

on campus. Parents also can look into on-campus resources designed to help students readjust to being back among their peers.

Knowing where to go for help should students need it can ensure any issues that arise are addressed promptly.

Suffolk Federal Credit Union Awards College Scholarships Suffolk Federal Credit Union presented college scholarships totaling $43,925 to six deserving high school graduates who plan to attend Suffolk County Community College this fall.

“As a communityfocused credit union, we are committed to supporting hardworking students as they pursue higher education, while also easing the financial burden for their families,” said Michele Dean, CEO & President of Suffolk Federal. “We congratulate these outstanding scholarship recipients on their accomplishments and are pleased to help them achieve their educational and career goals.”

The following four Suffolk Federal Scholarship award recipients each received a scholarship of $6,275: Alex Pinto (Deer Park), Alyssia Furchert (Blue Point),

Michael Krolikiewicz (Farmingville) and Zachary Gallant (Port Jefferson Station).

In addition, Juliana Ramai (Centereach) received a $6,275 scholarship from the LT Michael P. Murphy Memorial Scholarship Foundation, which was matched by Suffolk Federal for a total of $12,550.

Daniel Paesano (Sound Beach) was awarded $6,275

by Suffolk Federal in honor of the Michael E. Reilly Foundation Memorial Scholarship for Excellence.

Scholarship award recipients were selected based on their academic achievements, extracurricular activities, community involvement and essays.

The scholarships are a result of an ongoing partnership between Suffolk Federal and the Suffolk Community College Foundation.

According to Sylvia

A. Diaz, PhD, LMSW, Executive Director, Suffolk Community College Foundation, “We are deeply gratified to continue to partner with Suffolk Federal to support exemplary students with these generous scholarships. Each of these recipients has a record of community service that reflects the values we share and the determination to succeed.”

Dr. Edward Bonahue, President of Suffolk County Community College, noted, “Young people are our greatest resource and best investment. Through these scholarships, Suffolk Federal demonstrates its notable commitment to helping Long Island families thrive and succeed.”

The credit union recently expanded its charter to include Nassau County as well as Suffolk County.

• Encourage students to share their concerns.

Opening up about any concerns they may have can help students as they emerge from the pandemic. Many parents were concerned about returning to the office in person, and they can share those concerns and the ultimate outcomes of their returns with students concerned about moving onto a college campus.

Parents are urged to periodically check in with college students about any anxieties they may have about being on campus.

Returning to full-time, in-person learning after the pandemic may be especially challenging for incoming college freshmen. Such students can work with their parents over the summer to conquer their fears and prepare for the coming school year.

For more information about Life’s WORC and/or Celebrate 50 Commemorative activities, please contact Matthew Zebatto at 516972-6053.

More About Life’s WORC Life’s WORC was founded 50 years ago after the closing of Willowbrook State School back in the early 1970s. As a young reporter, Geraldo Rivera exposed the deplorable conditions that existed within the then largest institution in the nation serving children with

developmental disabilities.

Rivera first learned about these conditions from Life’s WORC founder Victoria Schneps. Her daughter, Lara, diagnosed at an early age with severe brain damage, was a resident at Willowbrook. When cuts in state funding caused the institution to fall into extensive disrepair, Schneps, along with other concerned individuals, picketed to fight for the rights of Willowbrook’s more than 5,000 residents.

Rivera’s report, which earned him a Peabody Award, ultimately forced the closing of Willowbrook.

Schneps started Life’s WORC and opened its first home in Little Neck, Queens. Its first residents were former Willowbrook residents.

Today, Life’s WORC provides beautiful homes located across the region, from Nassau and Suffolk to Queens and Manhattan, in addition to community services, financial and trust services, and the programs and services of its Family Center for Autism.

Take Heart With Tea The USDA reported that men and women who drank black tea for three weeks reduced their total and bad

cholesterol (LDL) levels by an average of 7.5 percent.

Researchers concluded that drinking tea may reduce the

risk of coronary heart disease.

Antioxidants called flavonoids, found in both green and black teas, are thought to

be potent weapons in the fight against heart disease.

That news may be especially important

for women, given that heart disease kills more women than all forms of cancer combined including breast cancer.

Ten Tips From Stony Brook Medicine To Stay Heart-Safe This Summer Now that temperatures are on the rise and humidity is surging, it is important to protect our hearts from the hazards of the summer sun. On Chen, MD, interventional cardiologist and Director of the CCU and Telemetry Units, Outpatient Cardiology Services and the Lipid Program at Stony Brook Medicine, has some suggestions to help you stay heart-safe all summer long.

People with an existing heart condition need to be careful with warmer temperatures, but even a healthy heart can be put under stress when temperatures climb.

Following are tips for helping to make your summer heartsafe: Hydrate.

Adequate hydration is nothing less than your best friend as the summer heat moves in. Drinking plenty of water helps regulate your temperature, helps your heart pump more easily and keeps all your organs functioning

properly. Remember to drink before you are thirsty, and avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages, which can dehydrate the body.

And, it is important to know that some common heart medications can make you more vulnerable to high heat and increase your hydration needs. Talk to your doctor about your specific hydration needs.

Staying Cool. If you don’t have access to air conditioning, cold compresses (an ice-pack or ice-water filled bottle) applied to your ‘pulse points’ — the areas where your veins are closest to your skin’s surface, including wrists, neck, temples and armpits — can help you cool down.

Eat Water-Rich Foods.

You get about 20 percent of your water from the foods you eat. A hot weather diet that emphasizes cold soups, salads and fruits can both satisfy hunger and provide extra fluid. Strawberries, watermelon, peaches,

cucumbers, celery, tomatoes, peppers and spinach, are all fruits and veggies that are 90 percent or more water.

Know Heat Illness Warning Signs. Spending too much time in extreme heat may lead to heat exhaustion and, in turn, heatstroke, two serious heat-related illnesses in which your body can’t control its temperature.

Heat Exhaustion Symptoms: Heavy sweating, nausea or vomiting, muscle cramps, tiredness, dizziness and fainting. Treatment: Move to a cool place, loosen clothing, use cold compresses, sip cool (not cold) water. If symptoms persist, call 911.

Heatstroke (also called Sunstroke) Symptoms: Fever of 104 degrees or more; severe headache; behavioral changes; confusion; hot, red skin; no sweating; rapid heartbeat and loss of consciousness.

Treatment: Heatstroke is a life-threatening medical emergency.

Call 911

immediately. Quickly move the individual to a cooler place, use cold compresses, do not give anything to drink.

Know Your Numbers. See your doctor to get a careful look at your “numbers,” including your cholesterol and triglyceride levels, your blood pressure and more.

Knowing your numbers and your risk factors are an important part of heart health, especially before engaging in warm-weather activities.

Timing is Everything.

Avoid being outdoors during the hottest times of the day, when the sun is at its strongest and temps are at their highest. Your cardiovascular system has to work harder on a hot day in an effort to keep your body cool. In fact, for every degree that your body temperature rises, your heart has to pump an additional ten beats per minute. Everyone is at risk in extreme heat, but high temperatures and humidity are particularly stressful for

those who already have a weakened heart.

Be Sun Savvy. A sunburn can dehydrate you and impede your body’s ability to cool. If you’re going to be outside during the peak sun of the day, be sure to apply sunscreen 30 minutes before you head out. Reapply every couple of hours.

Dress for Sun-cess. Think loose, light-colored clothing (to help reflect heat) that is made of a lightweight, breathable fabric like cotton.

Add well-ventilated shoes, a wide-brimmed hat, shades and sunscreen and you’re good to go.

Pace Yourself. Make your warm weather workouts shorter and slower, aim for morning or evening when the temps and humidity are lower, choose shady pathways and trails or an air-conditioned space. Work with your healthcare team to develop a plan that is best for you.

Listen to your body. If you aren’t used to regular

ON CHEN, MD exercise, are over 50, have heart disease or have questions about your heart health, see your doctor before participating in any strenuous outdoor summer activities.

Although anyone can be affected by heat illness, people with heart disease are at greater risk.

Back To School How Volunteering Benefits Students Volunteering is often seen through the lens of how volunteers help to improve their communities.

Though there’s no denying the valuable role volunteers play in strengthening their communities, it’s worth noting just how much volunteers can benefit from donating their time and effort to worthy causes.

Volunteering

• Volunteering can get a foot in the door. The National Association of Colleges and Employers reports that employers expect to hire 7.2 percent more new college graduates from the class of 2021 than they did from the class of 2020. That’s encouraging news, but recent graduates will still face stiff competition as they look for their first job. Volunteering with an organization in their field can be a great way for current students and recent graduates to get their foot in the door.

Even if a volunteering opportunity does not

of undergraduates in associate’s and bachelor’s degree programs who had declared majors changed their majors at least once within three years of their initial enrollment. The same report noted that roughly one in 10 changed majors more than once.

Those statistics suggest that many students are uncertain about what they want to study at the onset of their college careers.

Volunteering before and during college can help students explore their interests and see where their skills are applicable.

They can then rely on that experience as they choose • Volunteering can help a major. students find a career • Volunteering expands path. A 2017 report from students’ social horizons. the U.S. Department Volunteers serve and work of Education found alongside people from a that about 30 percent variety of socio-economic

backgrounds. That’s a great way to see the world through a new perspective, and it also can positively affect students’ eventual careers. Professionals who have worked with people of various backgrounds are in better position to effectively communicate with a wider array of people, which can help them build a more diverse set of business relationships.

Organizations recognize that value and often prioritize hiring candidates with the kind of strong interpersonal skills students develop through volunteering.

Volunteering can be a great way for students to develop an array of skills that can benefit their personal and professional lives for years to come.

A 2020 study published in the Journal of Happiness asked 70,000 participants about their volunteering habits and mental health.

The study found that, when compared to those who did not volunteer, people who had volunteered in the previous 12 months were more satisfied with their lives and gave their overall health higher ratings.
