    Just finished my second "teaching gig" this week.  Taught a VHDA first time home buyers class on tues for Piedmont Housing Alliance, and healthy eating today!  Teachers loved my "easy ways to improve nutrition in childcare" presentation.

    "I had a very favorable experience using Ms. Inessa Telefus as my realtor
 only two months ago now. From start to finish, I was impressed with her
 professionalism, loyalty and sound judgment. When the seas got rough, 
she knew how to steady the course to get the job done. Ms. Telefus uses 
her superior interpersonal skills to quickly gain a sense of trust and 
to establish rapport with her clients-This is ultimately what makes her 
unique. I would recommend Ms. Telefus wholeheartedly." - M.A.Labels: Belmont, buyer agent, Charlottesviile real estate, Inessa Telefus

My clients often ask me about public schools in the area, especially 
city vs 
county.  
I always say that all our public schools are very good and I also strongly recommend that everybody do their own research.  All children (and parents) are different and they have different needs.    
When it was time for my husband and I to find a kindergarten for Charlotte, we looked at several schools, talked to the principals and asked many questions. As it turned out, we were most impressed with our neighborhood school, 
Jackson-Via.  I loved the school environment, beautiful playgrounds, and the very passionate teachers and principal.   So far, we've been very satisfied.  
I am also pleased to announce my new appointment as Chair of the 
Charlottesville City School Health Advisory Board.  We just had our first meeting and reviewed last year's accomplishments, including the implementation of a new wellness policy.  I was told that not all school districts have such a good 
detailed policy.   SHAB has done a good job working with the community to improve nutrition in our schools these last two years.
As we move forward, we are looking to prioritize among these areas: 
Standards in Child Nutrition Programs 
and School Meals
Nutrition Education
Physical Education and Physical 
Activities 
Health Education
Health Services 
Staff Wellness 
Counseling and Mental Health  
Healthy School Environment
