For some time, we have depended on the virus protection software to keep our computers safe from hackers. This software scans each thing that attempts to access your computer, even judging the safety of sites, and analyzing the data transported through email. In my experience, these software's have been a true gem to have, and have extended the life of both personal computer, lap tops and notebooks.
Though useful and efficient, there is one thing the software's have yet to prevent; cyber-bullying.

The subject of exercise has been reduced down to cosmetic appearance, and is now most associated with childhood obesity. Though it is true that not getting daily exercise contributes to said issues, it is often overlooked another affect that not getting daily exercise has.
At a recent franchise meeting, we met with the people from BrainWorks to discuss the importance of activity, health, and diet and their link to brain function. Reading, I found an article that further drove some of what we learned:

Sep 08 | Versatility Improves Learning
Many questions are asked to educators and learners about ways to improve their learning efficiency. One of the main focuses has been the learning style of the learner and the teaching style of the teacher. The aim has always been to align the two to guarantee a student reaches their maximum potential. While ideal, this is a challenge and very unrealistic. The average American classroom has one teacher with 24 students; all of which can have any combination of learning styles. Because our classrooms are not Rubik Cubes, the schools will find if improbable to align classrooms teaching style with learning styles. This leaves parents hoping for a magical match of sorts to aide our students or has parents rushing to the main office trying to align all the colors on the right side to improve their students’ school year performance.

Aug 25 | Hard Work Pays Off!!!!
This year we are standing firm on an old but tried and true saying, "Hard Work Pays Off!"
This school year will undoubtedly be a year with challenges and changes that must be met with a plan. I have noticed in my time as a minister and business owner that many suffer through changes and challenges because they lack proper planning. I know you are saying, we started this blog with "Hard work pays off"; and this is true, but hard work without a plan can leave one achieving less and desiring more.
Planning helps our students and families organize in such a way that we maximize our efforts. The difference between working hard with and without a plan is being able to maintain your school ranking or improving your school ranking. Those who work hard in confusion will complete that which is direct focus, whereas one who works hard with proper planning will be able to complete that in direct sight line and those in the peripheral view.
This year I am encouraging families and students to start off the year with a plan and structure that aligns their sight line with success. Let’s Work Our Plan Hard, and watch how much it pays off.
