Mokena fundraiser offers connections for people with neuromuscular disease
Raising money is one reason New Lenox resident Doreen Pomykala decided to renew a walk in the Chicago area for the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association, but it's not the most important one. Instead, her main goal is to provide connections for people with the rare disease. 'I meet people, and they're excited to see someone who walks like me and looks like me. A lot of people have never met anybody else who has CMT. We get together and we talk about how life is so hard and tools and tricks that you use and doctors who know what they're talking about,' she shared. 'Connection is the biggest thing, but we (also) want to raise awareness and money because we want this taken care of.' Pomykala, who runs the Chicago branch of the CMTA, said it's hard to get a diagnosis for CMT, an inheritable, progressive neuromuscular disease that causes impaired balance, difficulty walking, nerve degeneration and muscle weakness. About 5,1000 people in Illinois have the disease, including about 2,900 in the Chicago area, according to a news release from the association. She herself wasn't officially diagnosed until her early teens, despite her mother having CMT and early signs, such as Pomykala not walking until she was 20 months old. Those early years were tough. 'I tripped and fell all the time. I couldn't, even as a young child, really run. My little body thought I was running but it was way slower than anyone. I couldn't jump off the ground,' she said. 'I could never roller skate. I learned how to ride a two-wheeler but I was 10 years old before I could do it.' In her 20s, her hands started getting weaker and it got hard to walk. 'It took so much energy. I would walk one step but it felt like I was taking two steps back.' Once she got braces for her legs in her late 20s, it got slightly easier. 'I felt like when I walked I walked forward. It was beautiful,' she said. Now, her hands and legs have gotten weaker. 'My hands and toes are scrunched up. I can't straighten my fingers anymore. But some of the daily living stuff, everything is just harder and slower.' To compensate, Pomykala uses an electric toothbrush and a bigger pen. She also often needs help cutting food, especially meat, and she needs to have a stylus in each hand to type on a keyboard. She uses a cane to walk but admits that she should probably be using a walker, although pride keeps her from doing so. 'A wheelchair will probably be in my future a lot sooner than I'd like it to be.' Even her long career as a teacher required adjustments. 'I taught for 34 years, my last 20 as a New Lenox kindergarten teacher,' she said. 'Everything took longer. I came in early because I knew it would take an extra hour to set everything up.' Luckily, she's got a lot of gadgets that help. 'My husband, Bill, has always been very creative to help make things to help me over the years,' she shared. Although CMT is an inherited disease, not all symptoms are the same. 'Interestingly, the same CMT in the same family can look very different in each person. One of my daughters has it, and two of my five grandchildren have it. It's a 50-50 chance in my particular form of CMT,' Pomykala shared. Her daughter Ashley Pomykala, of Merrillville, experiences nerve tingling and pain and has had hip and back problems related to the disease. She's recently started a CMT branch in Northwest Indiana that will participate in the walk. And grandson Gideon Moffit, 5, has had swallowing problems since he was born and uses a tube to eat. Both he and her granddaughter Erika Reames, 17, have had multiple surgeries on their feet. This year's walk, set for Aug. 23 at Hickory Creek Preserve in Mokena, where Doreen Pomykala grew up, is the third one she's led. Walks took place for 15 years in Oak Lawn, but that organizer stepped back several years ago. Check-in for the event is at 10 a.m. at the Hickory Creek Hollow Shelter. Participants are urged to raise money in advance, although same-day donations are welcome. Register at Pomykala emphasized that walking isn't a requirement to participate. 'Not everybody who comes to my walks actually walks,' she said. 'We've always made that clear.' Those who choose to make the quarter-mile loop will be doing so along a lovely trail. 'You could walk for miles. It's hilly. It's beautiful,' she said. 'Or if they want to bring their bike, they can do that.' Attendees will find a display of helpful tools and gadgets, and a free picnic will take place after the walk featuring hot dogs and brats, treats from Fleckenstein Bakery in Frankfort, and a dish to pass provided by people in her chapter. 'I'll have bean bag games, kid toys and games like bubbles, large Jenga,' she said. Another way she raises money that day is raffles. 'One of the most popular raffles are Bill's famous apple pies that he bakes that are as thick as can be and delicious.' In addition, Elena Sorci, manager of Hanger Clinic in Frankfort and a certified prosthetist/orthotist who has helped Pomykala with her braces, will set up a table at the walk. Sorci, who also has CMT, will have sample braces that people can look at and try on. Pomykala is an inspiration for those who know her. 'She blows my mind every time I talk to her. As a patient and community member, it means the world to me,' said Mary Louie, national events manager for the Charcot-Marie-Tooth Association. 'We love when our leaders really bring in the community, clinicians, people that they see for their shoes, people they see for their bracing, as well as our Centers for Excellence across the country that attend walks,' said Louie, who has 2A CMT. 'I grew up in a family of CMT. I grew up knowing I had a 50-50 chance and then I was diagnosed in my early 20s due to symptoms. I'm one of the new mutations, so I was officially diagnosed in 2018. It was a long time coming; it was 18 years of work getting that diagnosis.' Louis agrees that the walks are important, both for raising money but also for community. 'These events are sometimes the first touchpoint into the community for a lot of people. I always tell, especially walk leaders who are new, that people are going to hug you. They're going to get excited and emotional because it might be the first time they've met someone with this disease,' she said. 'It's a chance if they're in the area to get some information, have a conversation with someone and keep on moving or go to the website ( and get more information there.' She urged people to join this walk or any of the 30 others that happen across the country as part of the association's effort to raise $500,000 each year. 'A lot of us on staff either are deeply connected to the disease or are patients and community members ourselves. We want you to feel like you've found a place that you can fit because you have a disease where you don't necessarily fit and that people haven't necessarily heard of,' Louie shared. 'If you can spend an afternoon or morning at an event and make some connections that can change your life, it's hugely beneficial to all involved.'

Marion County Public Schools Selects PowerSchool Attendance Intervention to Reduce Chronic Absenteeism and Strengthen Family Engagement
FOLSOM, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- PowerSchool, a leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education, today announced that Marion County Public Schools (MCPS), in Ocala, Florida, has selected PowerSchool Attendance Intervention to help reduce chronic absenteeism, increase overall student attendance, and improve communication with families across its more than 60 schools. Funded through a federal Stronger Connections grant, MCPS is the first district in Florida to implement the solution, which will launch in time for the 2025-2026 school year. The district aims to reduce its chronic absenteeism rate by 12% (32% to 20%) and to ultimately reach 95% average daily attendance across all student populations. Achieving this goal would place MCPS as a leader in tackling chronic absenteeism amongst districts in Florida, where the average daily attendance was 91.4% as of the latest data available, from the 2023-24 school year. Chronic absenteeism (students missing 10% or more of the school year) also increased significantly in Florida schools since the pandemic, rising more than 50% from the 2018-19 school year to the 2023-24 school year. 'We've made incremental progress year over year, but we need a bigger shift,' said Yvette del Nodal, Director, Mental Health & Wellness, Marion County Public Schools. 'PowerSchool Attendance Intervention stood out because it's not just about boosting attendance—it's about reaching families, in their home language, and building relationships that support students in the long term.' Attendance Intervention is a research-backed solution that helps schools and districts detect early signs of absenteeism and implement targeted interventions. The solution combines early warning analytics, customizable workflows, and automated communication tools to support students' most at risk. A Johns Hopkins University School of Education study found that districts using Attendance Intervention saw measurable improvements in attendance, including a reduction in chronic absenteeism and increased engagement between families and school staff. MCPS includes 33 elementary schools, nine middle schools, seven high schools, and a range of charter, virtual, and technical learning facilities. In addition to addressing communication, MCPS will use Attendance Intervention to deliver positive reinforcement strategies, such as classroom celebrations and attendance-based incentives. The district also launched a Community Attendance Council to address out-of-school barriers like transportation, health, and housing instability. Marion County Public Schools serves more than 45,000 students across Central Florida, many of whom speak languages other than English like Spanish, Gujarati, Vietnamese, Haitian-Creole, Mandarin, Portuguese, and Zhongwen (Hanyu). Attendance Intervention's automatic translation feature allows staff to send and receive messages in families' home languages directly to their mobile phones without requiring app downloads or login credentials. About PowerSchool PowerSchool is a leading provider of cloud-based software for K-12 education in North America.

Period pain and heavy bleeding linked with lower school attendance and GCSE results
Menstrual cycles are experienced by roughly half of the population for half of their lives. The experiences of menstruation on teenagers are incredibly important, especially as young people are starting periods earlier. Our research shows that this impact extends to their school attendance – and GCSE results. Previous studies have reported that many young people take time off school and struggle to concentrate in school because of difficult experiences related to menstruation. However, the role of specific period symptoms and their effect on exam performance and attainment are not well understood. Our recent study examined whether menstrual pain and heavy bleeding – an under-researched symptom – may have implications for school attendance and attainment. Menstrual-related pain and heavy bleeding are commonly experienced menstrual symptoms. For many, these symptoms may be minor and have few consequences. For others they can be severe and have a significant impact on daily life. Normalisation of these symptoms makes it difficult for people, especially young people, to identify whether their symptoms are problematic. Societal pressures to hide or conceal menstruation and menstrual stigma also foster feelings of shame, making it challenging to have conversations about periods or ask for help. As a result, many people struggle with menstrual symptoms that affect their health and wellbeing. We conducted research using data from the Children of the 90s study, which has followed a group of children in the UK from birth into adulthood. In this study, 2,698 teenagers who experienced periods between the ages of 13 and 16 were asked about their experiences of heavy or prolonged bleeding and menstrual-related pain. We linked this information with data from the Department for Education about the amount of school absences the young people in the study had in year 11. This is the final year of compulsory schooling in the UK, when 15- and 16-year-olds take their GCSE exams. We also linked it with their GCSE results. Over a third of the teenagers (36%) reported heavy or prolonged bleeding. We found that participants reporting heavy or prolonged bleeding were absent from school 1.7 additional days across year 11. They scored roughly one grade lower in their GCSEs, and were 27% less likely to achieve five A*-C passes including maths and English compared to those without heavy bleeding. More than half (56%) of the teenagers reported menstrual pain. We found that those with pain were absent from school 1.2 additional days in year 11. They were 16% less likely to achieve five A*-C passes compared to those without pain. These relationships were observed after accounting for other possible causes including ethnicity, socioeconomic position, childhood adversity, age at first period, mother and child mental health, body mass index and intelligence quotient (IQ). Wider implications The results from this study fit with many previous studies that have shown menstrual issues can result in more absences and difficulties focusing and concentrating. They also provide further evidence that qualifications can be affected. This shows that menstrual difficulties can restrict the ability of young people to reach their full potential, with possible implications on access to further education or employment prospects. A recent report from the Higher Education Policy Institute, a higher education thinktank, has found similar effects on absences at university: it estimates that an average student could miss up to six weeks across a three-year university course. Other studies have shown these effects can persist in the workplace, including a large-scale study in the Netherlands and research on endometriosis by the Office for National Statistics. The findings that those with heavy or painful periods, on average, were absent from school more and scored lower in their GCSEs are not due to different capabilities among these teenagers. Better treatments and support are needed for people who suffer with these symptoms, as they can lead to issues such as worse sleep quality, fatigue and iron-deficiency anaemia. This can make it more challenging to attend and perform well in school. Society in general is also not designed to provide enough support to those who menstruate, especially those who suffer with problematic symptoms. Menstrual health literacy is generally low in teenagers. However, this also persists in adults and even medical professionals. This means it is challenging for young people to identify symptoms. If they do identify them and seek help, they may often be met with attitudes that invalidate their symptoms, discouraging them from continuing to seek help. Teenagers can face challenges managing menstruation at school. These may include restrictions on when they can go to the toilet, or inaccessibility of period products. This can lead to many feeling that school is not a safe and supportive environment when menstruating. They may end up missing school entirely, or struggling to concentrate if they do attend school due to worries about managing and coping with menstruation and associated symptoms. Better support is needed for young people who menstruate and who struggle with problematic menstrual symptoms, so they are able to achieve their full academic potential.
