Do you know a student in Lancaster that prefers a private, one-on-one tutor starting this summer?

Dr. June Slobodian, a former teacher, school psychologist, administrator, and recently retired professor of education at Ohio University-Lancaster will help us provide that service at the WASC beginning in June. She brings extensive experience in reading diagnosis. Contact us at 740-653-5678 for further information about fees and contacts.

"A Healthy Kid You Should Know!"

 

     
A study in the recent "Journal of the American Medical Association" gives hope that the battle among U.S. youth with obesity may have leveled off. According to an Associated Press story this week, about 32 percent of children were overweight in 2003-04 and 2005-06 and those levels "held steady after rising without interruption since 1980." Experts attribute the apparent change to schools and parents for emphasizing better eating habits and exercise. Learn what you can so to help teach healthy eating habits and proper serving sizes by following the link to a web site, SMALLSTEP.gov
