Naperville Police Urge Community to Make Our City "A SaferNaper" for Kids Returning to School

As school children begin the 2018-2019 school year, theNaperville Police Department asks that families andmotorists make back-to-school safety a priority to ensure a

safe and successful start to the new school year.

SAFETY TIPS FOR FAMILIESBefore the first day of school, parents should talk to their studentsabout safety and make sure to follow these tips: • Students should know their home address and phone number aswell as a parent's cell phone number. • There is safety in numbers. Be sure children use the buddy systemand always walk to and from school with a friend or stay with a groupat the bus stop.• When walking or biking to school, students should stay within the crosswalks and obey all traffic signalsand signs. They should follow designated Safe Walk Routes (www.naperville.il.us/walkroutes) and obey allcrossing guards. If children ride their bikes to school, make sure they wear a helmet and reflective clothingand stay on the sidewalk when one is available.• Before the first day of school, walk to and from school with your child. If your student will be riding thebus, visit the bus stop with your children and be sure they know their bus numbers.• Teach children the safety rule, "Say NO, GO and TELL." If anyone approaches your child, offers them aride, asks for directions, or makes them feel uncomfortable, instruct them to say "NO," get away from thesituation (GO), and TELL a trusted adult. Be sure to discuss with your child who trusted adults may be:teachers, parents, a friend's parents, neighbors, police officers, firefighters, relatives, etc.• Make sure children understand never to leave school with anyone they haven't been instructed to leavewith by you. If someone comes up to them and tells them that there is an emergency and they want yourchild to go with them, be sure they know to check first with you or another trusted adult (schoolpersonnel) before doing so.• If your students will be taking care of themselves after school, please provide them with the "On YourOwn" safety materials found at naperville.il.us/npdschoolprograms.

SAFETY TIPS FOR MOTORISTSChildren will once again be walking to school through ourneighborhood, waiting at bus stops and being dropped off atschools by parents and buses. Motorists can assist with keepingchildren safe when headed back-to-school by following these tips:• Plan ahead and leave home earlier than normal to allow enoughtime to reach your destination without rushing.• Always come to a complete stop at stop signs, and be sure tocheck carefully for children on sidewalks and in crosswalks beforeproceeding. Drivers should always be prepared to yield the right-of-way and should not drive unnecessarily close to pedestrians. • Be sure to obey crossing guards and student safety patrols.

Back to School Nutrition

The first day of school is

quickly approaching, and our

school district is continuing

this year with their food service

provider: OrganicLife. Their focus is

on bringing scratch cooking and

healthy options but also, exciting

food that our children will want to

eat. OrganicLife meals are based on

“preparing food using basic

ingredients rather than buying

prepared meals.” The menus for the

2018‐2019 year have not yet been

released, but the menus from last

year showcase foods that our

children like, made in healthier

ways. (www.organiclifeusa.com)

Our high schools receive restaurant‐

quality meals with OrganicLife’s

signature food court‐style of

choices. OrganicLife’s food service

offers a daily special and also a

variety of other items including

salad, pasta and pizza, and

additional items such as

sandwiches, kebobs, falafel and

chicken nachos. Middle schools have

similar options on a more limited

rotation. The elementary schools

have a daily offering and also one or

two options.

Our school district states that

roughly one‐third of the student

population purchases lunch on a

daily basis, which means it is

necessary to offer healthy, appealing

choices for our students. It is

important to give our children

guidelines on what to choose when

buying lunch. Choose the healthiest

entrée possible, include a veggie and

a fruit, keep sweets to a minimum

(making it a treat instead of a large

part of the meal) and choose water

instead of soda.

The availability of food service is a

great plus in our school district, but

most of our children do not

purchase lunch every day, so we

need to think about sound

principles for packing those lunches.

1. Arm yourself with the right

supplies such as an insulated lunch

bag/pack, small ice packs, insulated

stainless steel thermos and reusable

containers.

2. Have a meal‐planning day with

everyone and make lists of the foods

they prefer to eat, including one

veggie and one fruit at each meal.

Include leftovers, quesadillas, wraps

and “pinwheels”, salads, hummus,

yogurt, soup, etc.

3. Enlist the children’s help in

preparing and packing. The process

of planning and preparing meals is a

great educational experience and

gives plenty of opportunity for math

skills, task planning and

organization. Older children can

prepare tuna or chicken salad, or

wraps, while younger children can

count out fruit, veggies or pretzels

into containers.

4. Have a good reusable water bottle

so that they can stay hydrated and

don’t gravitate toward the vending

machine.

There are many websites that give

great ideas for creative and healthy

packable school lunches. A good

healthy lunch is an essential

learning tool for our children. Keep

them fueled during the day with the

most nutritious foods, and they will

be able to do their best in

everything they encounter.

What is your definition of a cutting garden? Do

you envision rows of colorful daisies or

beautiful roses in bloom? Maybe you have

cut irises and lilacs fresh from your yard in the spring,

bringing them indoors to brighten up your home. The

Growing Place Landscape Designer, Mary

Saba and The Growing Place Aurora

Perennial Team Lead, Joannie

Rocchi bring a combined

wealth of knowledge and

expertise to spur your own

creativity with flower

arranging year round.

First, walk your yard.

Ignore the to‐do list

running through your

head, replacing it with

a new perspective. Ask

yourself what you have

and how can you make it

work. You will see your

yard in a completely new

light.

For instance, there is a lower branch

hanging from the juniper tree. Those willow

branches are long and curly. Some of those hosta leaves

are big enough to use as serving platters. The Rudbeckia

are in bloom and could be groomed.

Get the picture? Mary says the first thing about design is

form, texture and color. Joannie adds that it all starts

with the vessel, the container you are going to use. Will

you choose that little rock, a Styrofoam tree or

grandma’s crystal?

Cutting gardens aren’t just roses and daisies anymore.

Mary and Joannie draw inspiration from some of the top

names in floral design and follow the latest trends, such

as succulents. They can be mixed in containers with

annuals and perennials, and give new life to broken pots

and cracked birdbaths. Not your typical cutting

arrangement, succulents can be cut and beautifully

displayed on wreaths. The door is wide open when it

comes to flower arrangements today.

Mary reminds us that years

ago, cutting flowers were

needed that would

hold up from the

cutting fields to the

florist to the vase.

The rose had to

be a tight bud

vase in order to

hold up and

open in the vase.

We are way

beyond that now.

We have jets

bringing flowers

from South America.

We have floral additives.

We have a huge assortment

of foliage and flowers to choose

from right in our own backyard and

thousands more grown locally at The Growing Place.

So get excited and be spontaneous. Anything goes with

floral containers, any combination. Planted containers

require the same growing conditions, but even these can

be spruced up with cut leaves and flowers stuck in the

dirt. Think of form, shape and texture as well as color

for your design. Use leaves, stems, foliage, buds and

seeds along with flowers. Joannie experiments when

designing. Some things work wonderfully and some

things don’t. “I get enthusiastic and never stop learning,”

she says.

Pet TalesBy the Naperville Area Humane Society

Theo | Male | 2 Years OldAffectionate, laid back, and handsome are how I would describe myself. I am one of the coolest cats outthere if I say so myself! My main goal though out every day is to get petted and admired. I maybe FIV +, butthat doesn’t stop me from enjoying life. Since I am so laid back I could probably live with another dog. FIV +is not something any human can get and it isn’t easily passed to other cats. Come meet me soon so we canchill together! * FIV Positive

Juice | Male | 4 Years OldI know what you are thinking...wow what a handsome boy! Yes, I may have the good looks, but moreimportantly I am smart with a stellar personality. I love everyone I meet, and I will happily introduce myselfto you in a very polite way (jumping is for puppies, and I am a 4-year old mature man). If there is anotherdog in your house, bring him or her on by to meet me as I enjoy the company of the four-legged friends asmuch as the two-legged. Also, I forgot to mention I LOVE car rides! I prefer to ride shotgun, but understandif you prefer I sit in back. Currently, I am at IYC-Warrenville on my way to achieving a Canine Good CitizenCertification in the Project Pawsitive Future program. In just a few days there, I already know how to sit, laydown and stay. My graduation date is July 25, but if you want to meet me before please call NAHS and setup an appointment. I would love to have my furever home and family waiting to take me home after mygraduation day!

Adoptable PETS of the MONTH...

Calling all Animal Loving Kids!

K9 Matters ProgramK9 Manners is a 5‐session class for the spring and fall that allows kids to work with a Humane Society dog.

Children will learn positive reinforcement training techniques and have the opportunity each class to work with our shelter

dogs. The training the dogs receive will be in line with the requirements on the Canine Good Citizen (CGC) evaluation.

At the conclusion of each session, the children will have a strong sense of accomplishment knowing that they helped their dog‐

partner get one step closer towards achieving his or her CGC certificate.

Ages: 11‑14 years‑old Cost: $50 per student

Dates (Thursdays from 4 ‑ 4:45 pm) Fall Session: August 23‑ 30, September 6, 13, 20

If you have any questions, please contact Lauren Lonski, Humane Education Manager at 630‐420‐8989 ext. 114

or you can register online at www.naperhumane.org/education.

This may or may not be the right time for you to adopt a new furry family member or maybe you just want to see if your child’s

interest is serious before making a commitment to an animal.

Naperville Area Humane Society’s education programs are a great place to start!
