Summertime heat is upon us here in the Midwest. But despite heat warnings of a heat index over 100 degrees, children are now starting back to school.
I’m not sure sending kids to school in extreme heat makes any more sense then sending them to school in extreme cold. But the school district has yet to ask me my opinion.
If your children are going back to school in high heat conditions, make sure they drink water before and right after school. This is even more important if they walk home in the searing heat.
