Would your school like to partner with Penn State? Would you like to expand your students’ exposure to health related research? Penn State PRO Wellness offers a unique STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Mathematics) enrichment program to high schools that connects adolescents with health professionals engaged in research. The Adolescent Health Network allows researchers to seek youth input as they plan their studies. This feedback could focus on the design and recruitment strategies of the study, the layout and wording of study materials, and plans for sharing study results. Participation is via a web-based meeting platform (e.g. Zoom) in groups of 9-12 including teens from other high schools. Students gain first-hand experience with the scientific process, which directly impacts youth research.

As the education landscape continues to change, one thing remains constant: the unwavering dedication of school staff, specifically school nurses and teachers. As the school year comes to a close, we recognize the vital role they play in fostering the minds and well-being of students.  Take time to support and thank these professionals this month.

May is the perfect time to unplug and "move it outside". Encouraging kids and teens to trade screen time for fresh air and fun outdoor activities that keep them active and energized. Whether you bike, hike, play sports or simply explore nature, getting outside helps build healthy habits and boosts mood.
