summer camp options abound

Camp & Schools Summer camp is a beloved tradition in many families. Many parents of young children fondly recall spending their summers at summer camp, where they made lifelong friends and learned the finer points of roasting marshmallows and competing in three-legged sack races.

Parents looking for the right summer camp for their kids will soon discover there are various types of summer camps, each offering youngsters something different. The following are some of the summer camp options parents can expect to encounter as they search for the right camper for their kids.

Day camp Day camps are not overnight camps, which means kids will return home each night rather than sleep over at camp. Day camps typically offer many of the activities people have come to associate with camps, including crafts, sports and even day-trips to experience local culture or attractions.

Many day camps are co-ed, and counselors typically live within the community.

Faith-based camp Faith-based camps offer many of the same activities as more traditional summer camps, but do so while simultaneously offering campers the opportunity to celebrate and further explore their religious beliefs. Some faith-based camps may focus heavily on religion, incorporating faith into daily camp activities, while others may be more subtle with regard to integrating religious beliefs and lessons into camp activities.

Sports camps Some summer camps focus on a particular sport, catering to young athletes who want to further develop their athletic talents. Sports camps may feature guest lectures and lessons from notable local athletes and coaches, while some camps may provide instruction from current and/or former professional athletes. Some sports camps are overnight, while others are day camps.

Family camps Family camps are opportunities for the whole family to enjoy the summer camp experience. Family camps typically tailor their activities around tasks families can complete together, with counselors providing assistance when it’s needed.

Family camps may be faith-based or secular, and families typically stay overnight, sleeping in facilities on the campsites or in lodging away from home.

Special needs camps Parents of children with special needs can still send their kids to summer camp, as there are many camps that cater to such youngsters. Special needs camps may cater to campers who are blind, deaf, learning disabled, or mentally or physically disabled. Staff at special needs camps typically undergoes extensive training, which helps to calm some of the fears parents may have about leaving their special needs children at camp. Facilities at special needs camps are often built to accommodate the specific needs of campers.

HOLY CROSS’ 2016 BIG EAST BLAST FOOTBALL REUNION Eight-years ago, Peter Martin, former football coach at both Cardinal Hayes and Cardinal Spellman High Schools, began the Big East Blast – a celebration which recognizes the eight original schools that formed what is known today as the Catholic High School Football League (CHSFL).

Over 200 former and present football coaches and players are involved in the Big East Blast event and arrive from over 13 states across the nation. These men include many originals who have dedicated themselves to the game that comprises their very soul – football.

Formed in the 1950s, the CHSFL’s foundation was

built as a result of many public high schools competing against one another, but not the Catholic institutions. At its beginning, the original eight schools were Archbishop Stepinac High School, Cardinal Hayes High School, Cardinal Spellman High School, Chaminade High School, Holy Cross High School, Iona Preparatory School, Mount Saint Michael Academy, and St. Francis

Preparatory School. Now, decades later, the CHSFL is made up of more than 20 local high schools.

This year’s Big East Blast marked the highest turnout for the group. Everyone from original head coaches from Holy Cross’ first graduating class in 1959 showed to 2006 alumnus and former Giants wide-receiver for the National Football League (NFL), Kevin Ogletree.

Coaches and alumni had a wonderful time reminiscing with lots of laughs at the 2016 Big East Blast. The football fanatics spoke of the glory days on the field and how their love of the game is truly embedded in what makes them who they were and who they have become.

We thank these men for their long-standing commitment to Holy Cross High School and all schools.

Additionally, we thank them for expending much of their lives to playing many great games and forming thousands of amazing football players.

Well done, gentlemen!

HOLY CROSS ALUMNUS PICKED-UP BY NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE’S SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Holy Cross High School’s 2011 alumnus, Devon Cajuste, recently attended the 2016 National Football League’s (NFL) Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

The talented Cajuste, a Seaford, Long Island native, had his dreams become a reality when he was invited to this year’s Combine and then once again when he was pickedup by the San Francisco 49ers post-NFL draft.

Recent interviews with the 6-foot-4, 234 lb.

Stanford wide receiver proclaim Cajuste’s excitement and relentless goal to play in the NFL. He had a lot of success at the Combine and, due to his large, athletic build, he certainly appealed to many teams as a prospective pro-player during the recent draft.

Previously, Cajuste was one of 332 undrafted football players selected to attend the Combine. He did well in highlighting how his form and strategy have their benefits on the field. At the Combine, he performed the best 3-cone drill. “It's the fifth-best

mark a wide receiver has posted at the combine in a decade, and is absurd considering Cajuste's size.

The 3-cone drill is a quickness test that generally favors shorter, agile receivers. The fact that a tall target like Cajuste moves like that in the drill shows he has a unique level of quickness” (O’Malley, 2016, para. 3).

His 40-yard dash results totaled 4.62. He completed a total of a dozen 225 lb. weight bench repetitions, has a vertical jump of 36-feet, a broad jump of 10-feet-3-inches, and finally a 20-yard shuttle of 4.20 (NFLDraftScout.com, 2016, pg. 1).

Shortly after this year’s

NFL Draft (April 28-30, Auditorium Theatre in Chicago, IL) ended, Cajuste’s exceptional, boundless talents forwarded him to Chip Kelly, Head Coach for the San Francisco 49ers. Cajuste is now an undrafted free agent with the San Francisco 49ers and joins Holy Cross’ 2010 alumnus and current safety for the

Carolina Panthers, Dean Marlowe, in the NFL. If San Francisco and Carolina compete against one another, you can be sure that Holy Cross will be cheering aloud for both teams! Congratulations, Devon, we wish you a successful career with the National Football League.

Helping students in need of extra help Parents want their kids to be as successful as possible in the classroom. Good grades illustrate a desire to learn and excel, and high marks can make it easier for students to be accepted into toprated secondary schools later on in their academic careers. But some students still need a little extra help with their classes no matter how hard they work. These children may benefit from tutoring or one-on-one sessions in the classroom.

Learning disabilities vary greatly.

Some students have trouble taking tests, while others have difficulty paying attention in the classroom.

Because learning disabilities encompass so many different issues, estimates as to the number of children with learning disabilities can be difficult to pinpoint. But according to the U.S. Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics, as of the 200910 school year, 13 percent of all enrolled children ages three to 21 were classified as having some sort of learning disability. That number has grown from 8 percent in 1976, when records were first kept.

Whether a student has a previously diagnosed learning disability or seems to need some additional guidance, there are steps parents can take to help such youngsters reach their full academic potential.

Pay attention to your child’s progress. All children learn at a different pace. However, if your child seems to be falling well behind his or her peers, you may need to explore ways to help the child with his or her studies. Spend time doing homework with your child and figure out where his or her strengths and weaknesses lie. This may help you to determine if the child has a legitimate learning disability or if he or she is simply having difficulty with a particular subject.

Schedule an appointment with the teacher. Your child’s teacher likely spends six or more hours per day in the classroom with students and will be able to better recognize if your son or daughter is falling behind. He or she also may have a cursory understanding of some learning disability warning signs. The teacher also may refer specialized counselors who can screen students

for certain conditions. If the teacher has not reached out to you but your child is lagging behind, take a proactive approach and request a meeting.

Analyze the home environment.

Has there been a traumatic situation or big changes at home? A move, a death in the family, a divorce, and other incidents can affect how a child performs in the classroom.

Your child may not have a learning disability, he or she may be experiencing emotional problems that are creating difficulties in and out of the classroom. Rather than help with schoolwork, he or she may need some emotional support or counseling.

Develop a tutoring plan. Some parents can tutor their kids on their own. Others prefer a third party to remove the emotional aspect from the tutoring. The school may be able to suggest tutors for afterschool hours. Your child also may be able to spend some time during school hours with specialized tutors. For example, some schools break children into guided reading groups depending on their aptitudes. Children who need

more instruction sit with a reading tutor, who helps them at the students’ own pace.

Be supportive. Very often children who have a learning disability or are underperforming in the classroom experience self-esteem issues.

This can impair their confidence in other subjects or even outside of the classroom. As a parent you can show support for your child, praising his or her success rather than pointing out any failings.

Set reasonable goals. Progress may be slow-going, but no one should get discouraged. Discuss your child’s progress with a tutor or teacher and make sure that the goals your child has are attainable so he or she can feel good about academics.

Praise and small rewards may provide the inspiration kids need to stick with the program.

Not every student catches on to lessons at the same rate as others. Parents may have to work together with educators to develop personalized tutoring for children who are lagging behind for any number of reasons.

SuMMeR IS THe beST TIMe To PReP FoR THe ACT® And SAT®.

It’s a question asked by the parents of high schoolers every year—when should my son or daughter start prepping for the ACT or SAT? It may seem like a loaded question with lots of things to consider, but the answer is actually a simple one. The best time for students to prep is during the summer.

Here are the reasons why: 1. More time to prep = less stress. Summer prep means students don’t have to split their time between schoolwork and prep. It’s a less stressful way to get ready for the exam.

2. Test early and get it done. Once a student has the score they want, they never have to worry about the ACT or SAT again. Depending on a student’s schedule, they could be finished with the exams by September or October!

3. Flexible schedules. Summer means students can prep in the morning, afternoon or evening—whatever works best for them! The variety of schedule options available also makes it easy to work around vacations and summer jobs.

4. Having test scores can help with exploring options.

Having their test scores can help students narrow their college choices and figure out what else is needed to make sure they have the strongest possible application.

Scores may also be important for scholarship opportunities.

5. For rising seniors, this is their last chance to prep.

Many college applications are due at the end of the calendar year. This means that seniors need to take the exam early in the school year in order to get their scores back in time.

For more information or to register, students and parents should visit PrincetonReview.com or call (516) 714-5458 to speak to a test-prep expert. Space in our courses is limited, so students should register early to save their seats! Better scores are guaranteed.† †Restrictions apply. Visit PrincetonReview.com/Guarantee for full details.

Summer camp is often something kids look forward to, and something they will fondly recall long after they reach adulthood. For many kids, summer camp provides a first taste of independence, as youngsters spend significant time away from home without their parents for the first time in their lives.

But as great an experience as summer camp can be for youngsters, it can be just as difficult an experience if parents don’t find the right fit for their children.

That’s why it behooves parents to start thinking about summer camps for their kids in winter, before camps start filling out their rosters, which tends to happen in early spring. The following are a few things parents should take into consideration when seeking a summer camp for their kids.

When vetting camps for kids, parents should ask what a typical day is like once the season hits full swing. Many parents want their youngsters to have a well-rounded experience, while others might want their kids to attend a more specialized camp, whether it’s a sports camp focusing on a particular sport or a music camp devoted to helping kids become better musicians.

Regardless of the type of camp parents are considering for their kids, they should ask about what daily life at the camp is like. Ask to see schedules and how strictly camps adhere to those schedules. When considering specialized camps, ask the staff representative if kids will have the chance to simply have a little fun and which types of recreational activities are planned to give kids a break from what are often rigorous schedules.

The right summer camp staff can make all the difference. Many children are understandably shy when arriving at a summer camp, as their friends from back home might not be joining them. That can make kids hesitant to participate in activities or less enthusiastic about those activities. But a good staff will know how to make kids feel welcome, which should help them come out of their shells and make the most of their summer camp experiences. The quality of staffs can vary significantly depending on the camp, so it’s important that parents ask camp representatives about their staffs before making any commitments. Ask how long the staff has been together and the types of training new and even veteran staff members undergo before the start of camp season? Does the training include first aid and emergency medical training and certification?

It’s also good to ask about the vetting

Another thing parents must consider before choosing a summer camp for their kids is the goals of each individual camp. A camp should be dedicated to ensuring kids have fun, even when kids are attending more specialized camps that tend to be more strict. In addition, parents should look for a camp that wants its attendees to foster relationships with their fellow campers. Camp can be lonely for some youngsters, especially those attending summer camp for the first time, but a summer camp that strives to promote friendship among its campers can reduce, if not eliminate, any feelings of homesickness.

Late winter is when parents should start looking at summer camps for their kids, and there are a host of factors moms and dads should take into consideration during the vetting process to ensure their youngsters have as much fun as possible.

How to help students who need speech therapy stoppages or repetition, this can be distracting to both the child and those around him or her.

Some children have problems with the pitch, volume or quality of their voice.

These problems can distract listeners from what’s being said and make it difficult to communicate.

Apraxia

P

arents who are active in their children’s education often find that such an approach is a great way to recognize any potential problems before they have too significant an impact on a student’s educational experience. For example, interaction with educators may shed light on a student’s developmental readiness.

Parents often first learn of their children’s strengths and shortcomings when children are exposed to classroom settings and compared to their fellow students. It is here where teachers may first recognize obstacles that could hinder students as they pursue their education.

Parents of preschool and kindergarteners may be made aware of speech issues that may require therapy to address. The good news is that children often make tremendous strides once they are enrolled in speech therapy. Although determining if a child needs speech therapy can sometimes be confusing and take some effort and testing, parents who receive such a diagnosis about their youngster will need to focus on some skills that can alleviate speech concerns.

Articulation

Many children require speech therapy because of a speech delay or an issue with articulating. This relates to the clarity of speech sounds and overall speech. A child’s speech begins with initial sounds as they mimic the adults around them, which will then form words and phrases.

It’s common for young children who have difficulty with certain speech sounds to substitute easier sounds for certain letters or sound blends. But if inconsistent speech articulation or improper sound usage extends beyond a certain age, this may require treatment.

Fluency and resonance

Some children receive speech therapy due to disorders like stuttering or prolonging sounds and syllables. When the flow of speech is interrupted by abnormal

According to the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association, childhood apraxia of speech, or CAS, is a motor speech disorder. Children with CAS have problems saying sounds, syllables and words. The brain has difficulty moving the mouth for speech. The child knows what he or she wants to say, but the brain does not send the correct message to move the muscles accordingly. Children with CAS are typically assessed earlier than school age.

Seeking therapy

Parents who suspect their child has a speech-language concern should first consult with a pediatrician and talk to their child’s teacher. If the speech problem is not causing any learning difficulty or making it hard for teachers and fellow students to understand the child, intervention may not be necessary. However, if the child is embarrassed or getting frustrated with those who do not understand him or her, it may be in the student’s best interest to be assessed.

Speech-language pathologists are trained in speech therapy and are most qualified to make assessments of a child’s speech abilities. This person will provide a thorough articulation assessment and conduct a medical history inquiry to determine if there is a need for treatment.

A good speech pathologist will conduct an evaluation in a way that is comfortable for the child. Toys and games may be part of the assessment. Sometimes parents are allowed to remain in the room.

Physical skills, vocabulary and grammar also will be checked.

Once the source of the problem has been identified, a therapist can develop a treatment plan to fix some of the problems.

Homework exercises can help parents continue lessons between therapy sessions.

Many parents opt to work with a speechlanguage pathologist one-on-one. These services may be covered through a health insurance plan. School districts may offer low- or no-cost speech therapy for students who need speech assistance. These may be conducted in solo sessions or as part of a group. Parents should inquire about speech testing at their child’s school and if any services are offered.

How to help distracted students

find it difficult to focus on the teacher, as teachers may not notice kids in the back of the class as readily as they might with students sitting in the front of the room.

• Encourage participation. Many teachers recognize the value of active participation in the classroom, but kids who are struggling to focus may shy away from participating because they are worried about embarrassing themselves in front of their classmates.

Parents and teachers can work with students to encourage them to participate, reassuring them that they don’t need to be experts on a given subject to contribute to lessons. Even if students’ participation is limited to asking questions rather than answering them, encouraging kids to raise their hands and participate in class may help them focus more on the lessons being discussed.

T

oday’s students have more gadgets at their disposal than ever before. As technology like tablets and smartphones have become more prevalent in the lives of adults, such devices also have become more commonplace in the classroom. Some kids thrive when teachers utilize technology to enhance lesson plans, while others may be distracted by access to technology.

According to the National Institute of Mental Health, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, is one of the most common childhood disorders.

ADHD can make it difficult for kids to maintain focus in the classroom, and that focus may be enhanced or further compromised by technology that’s capable of serving many different functions. Kids who use the technology to their advantage may find it improves their ability to grasp lessons, but some kids may be distracted by devices or even other items in the classroom that make it difficult for them to absorb lessons. Parents concerned about their kids’ ability to cope with distractions in the classroom and at home can take the following steps in an effort to help youngsters improve their academic performance.

• Speak to your child’s teacher about seating assignments. Students who find it difficult to focus in the classroom may benefit from new seating assignments. Windows or high-traffic areas of the classroom, such as doorways, can compromise a student’s ability to focus.

In addition, the back of the classroom is not the ideal spot for youngsters who

• Minimize distractions at home. Kids who have no trouble focusing in the classroom may find it’s a whole different ballgame when they arrive home to study or do their homework. Mom and Dad no doubt have their own gadgets around the house, and such devices as well as television may be too difficult for youngsters to ignore. At home, parents can create a safe haven from distraction by designating a room or area of the house for schoolwork. Such areas should be clear of distractions like television, telephones, video game consoles, and other gadgets that can compromise a student’s focus. Make such areas off limits to cellular phones and block social media websites from computers in such rooms so kids aren’t tempted to spend study time chatting with friends online. If a child’s study area is not in a separate room of the house, parents should avoid turning on the television until kids have finished their studies for the night.

• Consider playing games designed to improve attention and focus.

Games designed to improve attention can be a fun way for parents to help their youngsters conquer their concentration issues. For example, the creators behind Lumosity.com collaborated with researchers from universities around the world in an effort to design games to improve visual attention in people of various ages and backgrounds. Few kids are not enamored with games, and games to improve focus and attention may help kids without making them feel as though they are back in a classroom.

Parents can speak with their child’s teacher to determine which games might be best suited for their youngsters.

Use the internet to find your next job

As the job market continues to rebound, it also continues to change. Whereas job seekers once sent their resumes to prospective employers via traditional mail, nowadays many companies prefer applicants utilize the company Web site to apply for open positions.

That shift has also taken place with how men and women look for work.

Many job seekers rely on the Internet to research companies and find job postings. The Internet grants job seekers instant

access to the most current information and allows them to expand their job search to markets across the country and even the globe. In addition, just like companies use the Internet to promote themselves, men and women looking for work can follow suit and use the Internet to their advantage.

Select the right sites. It can be daunting to find a job primarily via the Internet.

Many, many job sites exist, and men and women might not know which one best suits their individual needs.

When perusing a job Web site, focus on what the site offers, including a list of potential employers and a resume database. Also, when researching online job boards, look for one that doesn’t list outdated job postings. Many Web sites advertise thousands of

jobs, but the vast majority of those jobs might be outdated, which just wastes time. If using a job board that requires payment for its services, first research the site’s background, such as who is running it and who to contact should a problem arise.

Network online. Networking is nothing new, and it can be done just as easily online as in person. Utilize social media Web sites, including Facebook or LinkedIn, that make it easy for you to connect with other professionals in your industry. Even if fellow professionals don’t provide any leads to job openings, they might offer valuable job seeking advice about finding work in the industry.

In addition to social media Web sites, professional organization Web sites are a valuable and accessible online tool. Such organizations

might require job seekers to sign up, but doing so can provide exclusive access to job openings within the industry.

Many professional organizations also host seminars or Webinars about the industry that can provide great ways to network with fellow professionals and learn about the latest innovations and news within the industry.

Target specific employers.

The Internet enables job seekers to target specific companies within their industry. Company Web sites offer a wealth of information about the company’s practices, values and goals, and such information can be extremely valuable during a job interview. Job seekers can use the Internet to learn about various companies within their industry and then target the companies that most appeal to them.

Such research increases the likelihood that a job seeker will find a job and a company that best fits their needs and career goals.

Don’t overdo it. When posting a resume online, it’s best not to post a resume on too many Web sites.

Doing so threatens your privacy and opens you up to potential scams. It can also be difficult to stay up-todate with your resume if you post it on too many sites.

Resumes should be updated regularly, particularly for people who are freelancing while looking for permanent positions. But if your resume is on too many Web sites, it’s easy to lose track of where it is and keep it updated.

Finding work online might not be as easy as it sounds or easy as it was in the days before online job boards.

But men and women who use the Internet to their advantage might just land their dream job.

CLASSROOM LAYOUT CAN AFFECT LEARNING

When school begins anew, students are often excited about seeing their friends again and spending time with classmates they will be learning alongside all year. Though who a student sits next to in class is important to students for one reason, teachers have different motives behind classroom seating arrangements.

Classroom layout plays a role in how students learn, concentrate and behave. Before the school year begins, teachers may establish a seating and learning environment unique from other classes. Throughout the school year, adjustments may be made in the best interest in children.

According to Scholastic, oftentimes elementary school-aged children learn best when they’re allowed to move throughout the classroom. Learning stations that allow such movement have become more popular in classrooms. One station may cater to auditory learning, while another may feature manipulatives that is ideal for students who thrive by learning with tangible items. Computer stations are also common, and this variety of stations breaks up the monotony of one type of learning by keeping students interested and engaged.

Some teachers prefer to arrange desks in different fashions depending on the teachers’ teaching styles. The design of long rows of desks all facing the front of the classroom is not always practical for students or teachers. It can be difficult for teachers to see students in the middle or the back of the room, while students may find it difficult to concentrate on learning if they’re staring at the backs of other classmates’ heads.

Common desk layouts include grouping a few desks together to face one another for collaborative lessons. Some teachers prefer a “U” or circle layout to encourage discussions.

Students prefer different environments in which to learn, and teachers may be wise to create different

scenarios inside of the classroom. An isolated cubicle or desk shielded by bookcases can be a good retreat spot for a child who likes quiet for personal study.

Other students like to study and work together, so a round group table may be the ideal place for them to gather. The classroom need not always be brightly lit for learning either. Teachers can think about using different types of lights to set up nooks in the classroom to facilitate learning.

Hard seats, hard desks and the same location over and over can sometimes be uncomfortable.

Teachers with novel educating styles may prefer to switch environments from time to time to keep students’ minds engaged. For example, they may take science lessons outside for children to learn first-hand about nature or animals. A trip to the school’s theater or all-purpose room may be better for a language arts assignment, such as acting out a play. Students from the same grade may swap classrooms with another class so they benefit from a different teaching style and environment. Sometimes teachers put all students together for a group lesson to exchange new viewpoints.

Some designers and architects also have views on how classrooms should be designed. In 2011, the Laboratory for Visionary Architecture, with offices in Sydney, Stuttgart and Shanghai, designed a concept for the “classroom of the future.” It’s a prefabricated and portable classroom unit that integrates into the landscape while enhancing the learning environment.

The materials are cost-effective and sustainable.

Classroom environments may once have been about rigid rows of desks where all eyes were focused on the blackboard. But today teachers and innovators have realized the benefits of switching things up to tap students’ learning potential. From the use of smartboards and computers to the rearrangement of seats, variety in the classroom is often advantageous to students.
