Lisa Jander joined us at the most recent PTF meeting to talk about how our kid's brains work and what is going on with the chemicals inside them.

This PTF meeting is part one of a three part series. Part two is the one-night only screening of the movie Screenagers at the La Paloma movie theatre in Encinitas. The movie will be shown March 2nd at 7:00 pm. La Paloma is located at 471 S Coast Hwy 101, in Encinitas, CA.

Monday is President's Day and the rest of the week is off also, so Melissa and Will took the microphones out of the luxurious Lioncast Studio to see how much the faculty know about the U.S. Presidents. Did you know that Presidents Day was originally recognized as Washington's Birthday? At that time, Washington was the only individual recognized with his own holiday. President's Day is now intended to celebrate all Presidents, not just Washington and Lincoln. Now we have two other federal holidays dedicated to individuals. Can you name them?

While Will and Melissa were out they stopped in on Ms Reschke and Ms Downing and got to hear Fourth Grade flawlessly recite the 45 U.S. Presidents, in order. Did you know that although Donald Trump is our 45th President, he's only the 44th person to hold the job? Grover Cleveland was both the 22nd and 24th President of these United States.

Can you name the future Presidents who signed the Declaration of Independence? The answer is at the end of this episode. This is the only place to get that information.

Alicia Ferrera and Marcos Trejo join us to talk about the Horizon Prep Arts and Music programs. This is part 4 in our Logic and Rhetoric series.

If kids can practice their music just 5-10 minutes every single day, Marcos says parents won't have to worry about them wanting to practice more. They'll begin to enjoy it and naturally practice more. It might sound like a dying cat in your house when they begin, but they WILL improve.
