2nd Annual Bike Walk Play JPA event - just perfect!
Here is how our
Bike Walk Play JPA event was covered by local media:
NBC 29 story
"Even though a lot of people may drive up and down this street, actually
walking it, running into their neighbors, being able to say hi and just
take their time was a completely different experience for them, that
was really unique and also special," said co-organizer Susan Elliott.

"Summer means water and we could play the
game
in our own driveway and yard any other day but today is about being in
the street with your neighbors," Inessa Telefus, who lives in JPA.
The Daily Progress
"It makes the neighborhood feel like a place I want to be, not just where my house happens to be," Elliott said.

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
