Going in circles puts students on path to better choices

Excerpt: Audubon Technology & Communication Center High School is one of 16 schools taking part in a program using principles of restorative justice. The goal is to get students on paths to make better choices, to understand the impact of what they do, to deal with people better - in other words, to learn something, to change their ways and not to just sit out classes for three days.

General Interest A Health Celebration for David Lerman
In celebration of his recovery and NED (no evidence of disease status), restorative justice pioneer, David Lerman, will be hosting a HEALTH CELEBRATION on FEB 22nd, 4:30pm - 7:30pm in Milwaukie. Contact David for details.
This is David's second bout with cancer. He and his family recently returned from a week in Florida where he received four treatments with John Upledger, the creator of cranio-sacral work, and the author of 'Cell Talk' - the book that inspired his cell talk dance.
CuttingEdgeLaw.com interviewed David last summer and his video is still in the editing process. David is a treasure to our movement and, even though we can't all be there in person, many of us will be celebrating his good health wherever we are on that day.
