TCM with Cara Ortiz, LAc-to-be!

Last Tuesday my wife Cara came in with her apprentice, Izzie Bee and gave a presentation on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).  The students had a great time and, as I understand, were very interested in the topic.  Here is her Power Point Presentation on TCM.

STUDENTS: study this ppt!  There just MIGHT be a question having to do with TCM on our test on China this Wednesday!!

Friday Night at the Grange

Bravo to the incredible acts at the REACH Talent Show.  7th graders rocked the stage!  So great to see everyone and what a beautiful event.  We will have pics and video up on the blog as soon as we can.  Thanks to all that helped put it together, and congrats to Felicia and Brandon, who, against all odds, pulled it off!  You guys were great up there.

Raven Good Cookie Drive

Ask your kiddos about the "Raven Good Cookie Drive."  A flyer went home yesterday and it's a big opportunity to raise much-needed $$$ for REACH!  Students will pre-sell bags of ready-to-bake cookie dough for $15 to friends, family, and neighbors.

Thanks!
