PTA PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE….
Hello! We are heading into the final quarter of the school year. Year-end testing,
scheduling next year's classes, Senior activities and graduation are all right around
the corner. With all the snow and cold weather it's hard to believe that Spring is
almost here. Yeah! And that means it’s time for the PTA annual flower sale. Be ready
for Spring with flowers from Moeller Greenhouse & Garden Center and support your
PTA. Look for the order form in this newsletter. Replace the snow and ice with
something pretty and nice.
Are you a member of the PTA? It's never too late! Join today!
Sincerely,
Sandy Haskin

Apex Chiropractic & Wellness Center is proud to announce a breakthrough approach to help people manage the challenges associated with ADHD. Dr.
Laurie Jahnke has become certified as a "SHINE" (Special Help for Integrating Neurological Experience) doctor by the world renowned and leading authority in
the field of ADHD, Ned Hallowell, MD. Dr. Jahnke's breakthrough approach proves that medication is NOT the only answer. Her expertise is in re-establishing proper coordination between the brain and the body. This is critical because ADHD is typically characterized by impulsivity, inattentiveness, and hyperactivity – characteristics that make it hard for those with this trait to reach their highest potential. Recent studies indicate that the use of medication to help manage ADHD is on the rise, however, many people with ADHD prefer a holistic, alternative approach. We consider ADHD a trait, not a disability and, as such, Dr. Jahnke has said, “It is amazing to watch these people as they work through the program, improving their behavior, performance in school and work, and overall health.” Find out more about this program at www.apexchirocenter.com or by calling (513) 931-4300.
