The KSRE Developmental Milestones fact sheets provide a checklist of important milestones in your child’s development during the years of life. They are a simple tool you can use to become aware of and appreciate the dramatic changes that are occurring in your child.

Post Rock Extension District and The Centered on Healthy Living Coalition are teaming up to host a walk audit at the Smith Center Elementary Commons on August 15th, 3:30 – 4:30 pm. This walk audit is open to the public and we will discuss the need for safe sidewalks in a community before traveling on foot from the Elementary school to main street and through other highly traveled areas. We will evaluate Smith Center’s current routes for pedestrian walkers and bikers. Feedback during the walk audit will guide current and future projects to encourage active living in a safe and accessible community. For more information please contact Ashley at agoudey@ksu.edu or the Smith Center office (785)282-6823.

School is just around the corner and we will be packing our children or grandchildren lunches very soon! Keep MyPlate in mind when you are making lunches so your little ones will have adequate nutrition to get them through their busy school days! Limit the sweets you pack for your child and don’t send your child off to school without packing at least one fruit or vegetable in their lunches and one item from each food group.
