Kramer Lane Elementary School kicked off its annual Brown Bag Seminar Series during the month of January. The goal of the series is to introduce students to ideas and information that may inspire them. Volunteers consisting of Kramer Lane parents, family members and community members host seminars during recess periods for specific grade levels. Students have the option to sign up in advance if the seminar interests them.
January marked Nutrition Month in the Bethpage Union Free School District, so Kramer Lane students participated in seminars that focused on health. This included a local nurse who spoke with first grade students, a yoga instructor who conducted a yoga session with second graders and fifth graders, a radiologic technologist who spoke with first and fifth graders and two parents that taught third graders how to make a healthy snack.
From healthcare careers to ways of taking care of your body, student participants enjoyed learning something new. Kramer Lane Elementary School will continue its Brown Bag Seminar Series in February when students are expected to receive visits from professionals in the digital marketing, finance and television fields.
