4 | May 24, 2018 | The highland park landmark news hplandmark.com Sixth-grade students take on concussion concerns Erin Yarnall, Editor After 20 years of tackling subjects that impacted Highland Park, the Project Citizen program at Elm Place Middle School marks its final year at the school by covering concussions. Project Citizen at Elm Place is part of a national program that is conducted in schools throughout the country. As part of the project, sixth-grade students spent nearly a month researching and writing about concussions before presenting in front of a panel that consisted of Mayor Nancy Rotering; the superintendent of North Shore School District 112, Michael Lubelfeld; psychologist Richard Markin; and retired Highland Park High School teacher and coach John Gorleski on May 11. The presentation and ensuing discussion between panel members and students were moderated by Mark Nolan Hill, a surgeon and professor who has coordinated the program since 1998, after his daughter “volunteered him” to assist her class’ project on ravine erosion, according to Mark. This year, the sixth-grade class chose to research concussions and school sports. Elm Place student Mia Hill was interested in studying concussions because “it was a big issue.” “Even though they’re sixth graders they recognize the importance,” Mark said. During their presentation the students talked about the impact of concussions on the brain and treatments that athletes can undertake after receiving a concussion. The students also discussed whether parents should let their children play sports that could potentially lead to concussions, like football, hockey and soccer. Mark said the solution the students came up with is to make student athletes aware of the impact of concussions so they can receive proper treatment. This year is potentially the final year of the project, as Elm Place Middle School is closing next school year due to the consolidation of schools in NSSD112. While Mark said he will “absolutely try” to continue the project Mark Nolan Hill moderates a discussion between sixth-grade students at Elm Place Middle School and a panel including Mayor Nancy Rotering; the superintendent of North Shore School District 112, Michael Lubelfeld; psychologist Richard Markin; and retired Highland Park High School teacher and coach John Gorleski on May 11. Erin Yarnall/22nd Century Media at another school in the district, he is unsure of the success of the plan because he does not know the new administration. “I’m a sentimental guy,” Mark said. “I’m sad this is the last time at Elm Place. My kids went to school here and I’ve been doing this for 20 years.” He hopes the legacy of the project is that it shows the students they are not too young to make a change in their community. “I feel like younger children and young adults should know they have a voice too, and they can change society,” Mia said.
