Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025 passes The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025, which will restore whole and 2 percent milk to America’s school cafeterias for the first time since they were banned in 2012. Every serving of whole milk provides 13 essential nutrients including protein, calcium, and vitamin D, with recent scientific research showing that higher-fat milk consumption by children is associated with lower childhood obesity and other positive health outcomes. — By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com
n Historic return of whole milk to schools after 13-year ban
n Nutritional benefits and overwhelming parent support
n Significant benefits to New York’s dairy industry
The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act of 2025 by voice vote in December 2025, delivering final congressional approval for legislation that will restore whole and 2 percent milk to America’s school cafeterias for the first time in more than a decade. Schools participating in the USDA national school lunch and breakfast programs have not been permitted to serve whole milk since 2012, when they aimed to align school meal menus with Dietary Guidelines that proposed limiting fat consumption in children. The bill is expected to be signed into law by President Trump and will give schools the flexibility to offer flavored and unflavored organic or conventional whole, 2 percent, 1 percent, skim and lactose-free milk.
Recent national polling shows 91 percent of parents serve their children whole or 2 percent milk at home, and 81 percent of them support Congress passing legislation to reinstate these options in school meals. Recent scientific and medical research indicates that higher-fat milk consumption by children is associated with lower childhood obesity and other positive health outcomes. The Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act highlights health benefits milk provides to students, including better bone health, lower blood pressure, and reduced risk of cardiovascular disease or Type 2 diabetes. Since whole and 2 percent milk were banned from school meal menus more than a decade ago, school milk consumption and meal participation have declined; meaning children are consuming fewer essential nutrients.
The dairy industry is one of New York’s largest contributors to the agricultural economy, with nearly 3,000 dairy farms in New York that produce over 16.1 billion pounds of milk annually, making New York the nation’s fifth largest dairy state. Schools served nearly 4.9 billion lunches in 2024, with 85 percent of students choosing milk, and school milk accounts for nearly 8 percent of all fluid milk sales, making it a significant market driver. Senator Chuck Schumer announced the passage of the legislation, stating it will help bring more milk from Upstate NY dairy farms to school cafeterias across America. The legislation provides a meaningful outlet for dairy farmers while ensuring students have access to the nutritious milk options they prefer at home.

things to know whole milk returns to schools
Rowyn Grace Classic supports Hewlett’s basketball coach By AIDAN WARSHAVSKY Hewlett Basketball’s annual donation efforts will hit a bit more close to home when they host the Rowyn Grace Classic on Jan. 10, an all-day event which benefits Rowyn Grace Welsh, a twoyear-old with chronic kidney disease. She is also the youngest daughter of Hewlett assistant coach Jonathan Welsh. The classic will be played in the High School’s gymnasium and include four games. The girls teams will face Jericho High School, and the boys teams will square off against Long Beach High School—as the son of fellow assistant coach Brian Straub plays there. Junior varsity girls will tip-off at 10a.m, followed by the JV boys at 12p.m, varsity boys at 2p.m, and varsity girls at 4p.m. Each game will follow standard rules, with 8-minute quarters. The school’s softball program, which Welsh took over in 2023, will be selling merchandise as well, with proceeds going directly to the family. In addition to the effects on her kidneys, the two-year-old also suffers from a rare, life-altering mutation in her collagen type IV alpha 1 (COL4A1) gene—a mutation which weakens blood vessels. During her battle, the two-year-old has endured multiple appointments at numerous hospitals, including Raleigh N.C’s Duke Children’s hospital, Stony

The proceeds from the Rowyn Grace Classic will help the Welsh family navigate medical expenses. Brook Medical Center, and now Columbia Children’s Hospital. “Her body is essentially missing the ‘glue’ that holds her together.” Welsh said of her daughter’s condition. “This isn’t just a kidney issue anymore—it is a systemic threat that puts her at con-
stant risk for internal bleeding and organ failure.” Welsh and his wife Allyssa, moved to Charlotte North Carolina in 2017 to further their careers as educators. They had their eldest daughter Rhyan Jay in 2022, and Rowyn Grace followed in 2024.
When they learned of their daughter’s disease, they made the decision to move back to New York, as the deep connections they have in the community make it “feel like home.” The connection Welsh and his family feels would not be without the bond between his family and Hewlett basketball Head Coach Andy DeBernardo; The two have known each other for over two decades, and have been by each other’s side coaching the school’s baseball and basketball programs. So when DeBernardo was thinking of ideas for this year’s fundraiser, it was a no-brainer. “It means a lot to give back to someone you know,” DeBernardo said. “He’s my boy. We’ve been through a lot together. He’s been with me forever.“ And the feeling was mutual for Welsh, saying that this opportunity would not be possible without DeBernardo’s efforts. “Debo isn’t just a friend, he is family in every sense of the word that matters,” Welsh said. “He is one of the few people who has had a front row seat to our darkest days, seeing us at our most vulnerable and he never once looked away. He has stood by our side when we have felt our world crashing down.” The basketball program will be assisted by the Michael Magro Foundation.

Hewlett High School’s Innovo clinches qualifying competition By MELISSA BERMAN mberman@liherald.com
Innovo, one of four robotics teams at Hewlett High School, clinched their qualifying competition and took home the first place First Inspire Award. Innovo joins the three other robotics teams offered at Hewlett — Bionica, Nexus and Roboboogie. The 15-member team is lead by Daniel Duffey-Birkenstock and is the second oldest team, formed seven years ago. The oldest team is Roboboogie. The qualifiers were held at Bay Port Blue Point High School, on Dec. 7. “Team Innovo really had a strong showing,” Birkenstock said. “They ended up winning the competition bracket and were also awarded the Inspire Award.” Their big win earned Innovo a spot in the Long Island Championship on March 1. “Since this was the first qualifiers, they have two additional qualifiers they will be attending in order to improve their initial design,” he said. “Anything that they weren’t 100 percent happy with and needs room for improvement, they have the opportunity to improve without the worry of qualifying.” Birkenstock said the team is in a good position this season and they received good comments from the judges. Innovo’s build this year is called the “Funnel Cake” because it depends on a funnel on top. This year, teams have

Hewlett High School’s robotics team, Innovo, with Daniel Duffey-Birkenstock, back left, took home the first place First Inspire Award at the qualifying competition, on Dec. 7. options for two ways of collecting artifacts. The robots can collect it itself through an intake mechanism or the human player can load the artifact. “Instead of building out an intake mechanism, they focused entirely on the accuracy of their launch,” Birkenstock added. “In this years game, the artifacts are like wiffle balls and they have to launch it basketball-style into a basket.” Teams earned points based for doing it in a certain order and time limit. “The students recognized that their
human player is far more reliable than anything they can build in the intervened time,” he said. “It ended up being the right move, they scored really high in each match and won each round. ‘Funnel Cake’ brought them the gold.” Innovo team member and robotics treasurer, Micah Newman, has been on the team for three years and is a junior at Hewlett. “Innovo has been one of the most fundamental aspects of my time in high school and robotics in general,” Newman said. “We have our own little fami-
ly as a team and through the ups and downs of being on that team, it’s been essential to me as a person.” He said that competing at qualifiers was a mountain of excitement as they kept winning brackets even though they started off towards the bottom. “We didn’t do as well as we hoped in the first game and barely scraped out a win,” he said. “From there we kept getting better, improved a lot of aspects over the course of the day to the point where we got to the best we could’ve been.” Newman said his favorite part of going to qualifiers is how much everyone comes together and seeing friends from other schools. “The sense of community that you get at those qualifies is not parallel anywhere else,” Newman said. Mohammad Faiz, Innovo’s head of portfolio and robotics secretary, has also been involved for three years and is a junior. “They’ve been very welcoming and over the years I have taken a more prominent role in portfolio and documenting everything we’ve done on the team,” Faiz said. Faiz said that the judging went well at qualifies and the team was undefeated the whole day. “Being undefeated opens us up to more awards,” he said. “It shows that our robot is more reliable and what we’re showing in our portfolio isn’t false.”

Without January pressure, change works better
E
very January, we perform the same ritual. We draw a hard line between who we were and who we intend to become, armed with resolutions that sound decisive and hopeful: lose 20 pounds, save more money, finally become more disciplined. And yet, by February, or sooner, many of these goals quietly dissolve. This isn’t a personal failure. It’s a structural one. Traditional goal-setting asks too much of willpower and too little of reality. It assumes that motivation is stable, that life will cooperate, and that change happens neatly within arbitrary timelines. Behavioral research consistently shows the opposite. Willpower fluctuates. Stress, fatigue and unexpected events derail even the most sincere intentions. A goal like “exercise five times a week” collapses the moment work runs late, a child gets sick or winter motivation disappears. The problem isn’t laziness; it’s designing change by focusing on outcomes instead of behavior. Consider the familiar stories of those who set weight-loss goals. For weeks they follow strict rules, track every calorie and push through workouts fueled by January enthusiasm. Then, when the scale stalls or life intervenes, frustration sets in. The goal becomes a source of shame rather than support, and quitting feels inevitable. Contrast this with someone who builds a simple system instead: walking for 20 min-
utes after dinner, cooking the same three nourishing meals during the week, keeping snacks visible and convenient. No dramatic target, no deadline, just repeatable behaviors that fit real life. One approach relies on intensity; the other relies on design. The same pattern shows up at work. Professionals set ambitious annual targets — revenue milestones by the third quarter, promotion by December — tying their sense of progress to metrics largely outside their control. When external conditions change, motivation craters. A systems-based approach looks different: a weekly ritual of deep work, a monthly feedback loop, a principle of saying no to lowleverage tasks. These don’t guarantee a promotion, but they dramatically increase clarity, energy and long-term momentum. What replaces resolutions isn’t a lowering of ambition; it’s a smarter framework. Instead of obsessing over outcomes or focusing on inputs, what’s important are the actions you can show up for even on imperfect days. Instead of intensity, prioritize consistency. Ten minutes completed daily beats an hour attempted sporadically. Instead of perfection, build adaptability. Systems that can bend won’t break when life gets messy. This reframing also forces us to rethink what progress means. In 2026, progress doesn’t look like constant acceleration or pub-
lic metrics that reward burnout. It looks like sustainability. It looks like habits that support physical and mental health, boundaries that protect attention, and routines that make good choices easier over time. Progress is waking up with less dread. It’s energy that lasts past Wednesday. It’s the ability to course-correct without starting over. The myth of the January fresh start persists because it’s comforting. It promises a clean slate, a dramatic reset. But meaningful change rarely respects the calendar. People quit smoking on random Tuesdays. They start therapy after breaking points, not countdowns. They rebuild routines in April, September or the middle of a chaotic week. When we tie improvement to a date, we also tie failure to missing it. A healthier approach is permission-based rather than deadline-driven. You can begin again at any point. You can adjust systems without declaring them broken. You can measure progress by how supported you feel, not how perfect your execution looks. This January doesn’t need another list of resolutions destined to expire. It can be a moment to design a life that works beyond motivation — one built on systems, rituals and principles that make showing up easier than giving up. For those tired of trying harder and ready to live better, that shift changes everything.

Q: Tell me about yourself. A: Auerbach: I was born and raised in New Rochelle, New York, and grew up davening at Young Israel of New Rochelle under the guidance of Rabbi Reuven Fink, who had a profound impact on my life. I also come from a family with deep rabbinic roots, as my grandfather served as the rabbi of the New Haven, Connecticut synagogue for 50 years. Steeped in shul life from an early age, I went on to study at Yeshiva University—attending high school, college, graduate school, and rabbinical school—where I received my semicha. I have since taught at several high schools, including DRS, SKA, and my alma mater, the Marsha Stern Talmudical Academy.
Q : How has the rabbinical world motivated you for wanting to transition to YINW? A: Auerbach: Underneath all my other pursuits was a seed passed down from my grandfather, drawing me toward the rabbinate. When the opportunity to apply for this position presented itself, I jumped at the opportunity. North Woodmere is a place that for a long time has been a growing, vibrant community of orthodox families, and Young Israel is really sort of a precursor to all of that more recent growth and the movement of youth now— It was just something that was too exciting to pass up. Q : How will you use your teaching experiences to lead your congregation? A: Auerbach: There’s a certain element of organization and
Q: Is there anything else you’d like to add? A: Auerbach: My family and I are super excited to join an incredibly warm and inviting community of people who are extremely compassionate and committed to the synagogue. North Woodmere is a longstanding Jewish community, an incredible place with incredible people and it’s an exciting time for the community as it continues to grow. Our doors are always open, and we invite everyone to come experience our synagogue and life in our shul—we are happy to have you.
Q: You are entering a community that’s reeling from the recent antisemetic attacks, both globally and in the Five Towns. How will you aim to lead during a time when antisemitism is such a prevalent issue? A: Auerbach: It is a challenging time for many of us who have not previously experienced antisemitism so directly or so close to home. One of the underlying lessons of this moment is the eternity, resilience, and enduring strength of the Jewish

people. No matter the challenges we face in different generations and eras, we have always weathered the storm and emerged stronger. Many members of our North Woodmere congregation are far closer than I am to the generation of the Holocaust and to survivors themselves. There is tremendous strength to be gained from one another: I can offer insights from my years of learning and training, while the membership—who have lived with the realities of exile— offers profound resilience, perspective, and messages of comfort and hope.

preparation that comes with being a classroom teacher that can serve a rabbi well. The engagements in a synagogue are a bit less formalized than a classroom, but some of the organization and structure from the school setting helps.I think one of the main rules of the rabbi in the synagogue is to be a teacher of the congregation. I think my experience in terms of preparation, what to teach and how to teach, and having the experience of being in a classroom have prepared me to know where people are coming from, and an understanding of how to present properly for people in the shul.
