Flagler Boys Motivational Rally

The Flagler Boys Motivational rally! Help boys succeed! Rescheduled by sponsor. CHeck back soon for a 2013 date!

The statistics suggest that boys of all types are in trouble. They get worse grades. Many do poorly overall on some tests. They have more discipline problems. They are overrepresented in special education classes. Many are not graduating on time. The general pattern is reflected in college and beyond - fewer degrees awarded, longer graduation times, lesser job prospects, and more unstable relationships. Nor is this a mere “inner city” problem. The rise of a negative male “suburban slacker” is documented in books and media, all the way from high school into the adult years.

The Flagler Boys motivational rally seeks to get boys back on track. Areas to be covered:

• Four positive programs that can turn around a boy’s life, from mentoring to structured learning circles
• Positive community organizations to help boys
• Six things parents can do to help boost boys’ self-confidence and academics
• Four mysterious forces inside the mind of boys that make them act the way they do
• Positive values production and experiential learning as an alternative to negative media culture

 

Don’t miss this rally for boys!

• Food and refreshments
• Raffle prize drawings
• Positive character building
• Talent show- hip hop, poetry, country, rock. Let us know if you want to be in the show

Historic Espanola schoolhouse returns to its youth - News Media Article

Daytona News-Journal on the All Kids Are First Old Schoolhouse
The News-Journal has followed the small Espanola community for years. The article writer Annie Martin, has an interesting take- the historic building, put out of commission by the sands of time and desegregation, makes a return not to "days of old" but to youth of the future- past and present thus combine in the building.

Sand, surf and sea - Autism awareness event

A lot of kids in the water enjoying themselves. Great flyby of aircraft which I captured in the video below. Also talked to some vendors and learned a few things- such as the uses of chiropractic in helping kids with autism. Some unusual products on the beach as well.
