School health programs are crucial for children | Opinion

The American School Health Association recently contacted me for possible involvement in their October centennial national conference held in Indianapolis. It reminded me of my work in addressing school-health issues when I was Indiana’s state health commissioner and how important schools are to supporting children’s health. Schools are part of our public health system and play a significant role in assuring our children’s physical, social, and emotional health. Schools are ideal places to meet children where they are. It’s difficult for an unhealthy, disadvantaged, or struggling child to learn and prepare for a productive, well-adjusted life. Schools can help reduce health disparities and, ultimately, health care costs. They support physical health by providing physical education, organized sports, and health education that includes instruction on disease prevention, sexual health, and healthy nutrition and lifestyles. Education regarding the perils of substance abuse, including tobacco, vaping, and alcohol, can reduce initiation and foster resistance to peer pressure. Knowledge is power. School breakfast and lunch programs are particularly critical for low-income children, many of whom rely on these meals as a primary source of daily nutrition. It’s difficult for a hungry child to learn. School-based health clinics improve access to medical and preventative care,

Rossville volleyball comes up short in first state championship game

INDIANAPOLIS — Throughout the 2026 postseason, Rossville volleyball defied the odds all the way to the state championship. But on Saturday, Nov. 7 in Gainbridge Fieldhouse, its dreams at chasing more history came to an end. Indianapolis Lutheran defeated the Hornets in a 3-0 sweep (25-19, 25-11, 25-21), earning its first Class 1A state title in school history. A season that brought Rossville its first semi-state win and state championship appearance has felt like a movie for coach Lexi Ellenwood. A noted fan of “Hoosiers,” her team fit the bill of a small-town school that battled from a rough start and put it together in the end. It didn’t result in a storybook ending like the film with a state title, but it doesn’t take away from how memorable of a year it’s been. More: Benton Central volleyball captures IHSAA Class 2A state title “The maturity that I’ve seen from them as high school girls has just been really impressive,” Ellenwood said. “The way they’ve been able to trust the team, trust the coaches, buy into what we're telling them and give their all … it’s just special, for sure.” After a 6-0 run in the middle of the first
