The school has begun. Auspiciously, I would say. We had a fairly thorough orientation for the younger students on Thursday and Friday, and for all the students on Monday and Tuesday. We had the first of our workshop series on Tuesday. Doctors Chris Caffery and Lauren Caffery presented some material on the relationship between breathing, posture, and cortex functioning. They are neuro-chiropractors, or more accurately, "Functional Neurologists" who approach rehabilitation as a brain function more than as the failure of a particular part of the body. Most of the students seemed to find it interesting. We will be posting material related to this later on.
Over the course of the school year we will be conducting workshops on hygiene, nutrition, sleep, brain function, emotional and physical development and, of course, study skills. This Friday our Ass't Principal and one of our senior students, Madeline Rublee (who was in an intensive program at Phillips Academy this summer) will be presenting that very subject to our students.
Stay tuned for news on the Parent's night, our full day of student workshops, and an overview of classes this term.
