Dear Park Maitland Parents, Teachers, and Staff:

Our morning assembly presenting the “Healthy 100” mission and goals was truly amazing! First of all, the children were beautifully behaved and looked adorable all dressed in green. They presented very cute, happy, eager photo ops for the many news cameras that were clicking away! You can see our school on the news at the following times and on/in the following channels/websites/newspapers and magazines (tentatively):



• The Orlando Sentinel — tomorrow’s paper, plus there will be something online before the end of today

• WKMG/Channel 6 — ran at noon and will repeat at 7:00 and 11:00 p.m.

• WFTV/CHANNEL 9 — is placing now

• WESH/Channel 2 — not sure of the time yet

• FOX/Channel 35 — will run on the 5:30 news and at 10:00 p.m.

• CFN/13 — will run starting at 4:00 p.m. and throughout the day and night

• Several magazines and local newspapers will be running the write-up and photos

We could not have had such a successful kick-off for this initiative without the help and expertise of some wonderful people. In the photo above, from left: Dwaine Stevens, a corporate officer with Publix, who drove from Jacksonville this morning to be with us at the assembly (Publix prepared over 600 salads for our students to enjoy at lunch); Mindy Kobrin, a Park Maitland graduate from 1983 who is a lifestyle and celebration expert in New York City (see the attached pdf file to learn more about her and enjoy her “Kissing Kebab” recipes); our Head of School, Cindy Moon; Sam Olenick, Park Maitland mom who is the Executive Director of Corporate Communications and Community Partnership at Florida Hospital, our “partner” in this wonderful endeavor; Mike Larrimore, Park Maitland School physical education teacher and faculty sponsor of our “Healthy 100 Kids;” Bryan Myer, a performance coach for athletes, and, in particular, for Dwight Howard; Hollis Wilder, Park Maitland mom and winner of “Cupcake Wars” on the Food Network for two straight years and our healthy eating presenter along with the “Healthy 100 Kids” (Hollis and her team of bakers at “Sweet” made all of the students delicious little mini mini cupcakes for lunch); and Mark Theisen, Park Maitland dad, and gym owner, also performance coach for athletes and pro surfer Evan Gielsman! They are all our heroes!


Please click open the attachment to this note, and you will see the “Kissing Kebabs” recipes shared by Mindy Kobrin. Mindy held a chocolate fondue party for the 4 Red class after the assembly. Trent Bangle, a student in 4 Red, won the “Kissing Kebabs” poster contest held to narrow down the winning class. They had such fun! Enjoy Mindy’s lovely recipes, and be sure to visit her website — http://www.mealsonheelsbymindy.com for menu ideas, recipes for all occasions, and tips for entertaining. As Mindy says, “Eat well. Feel well. Entertain well.”
