Local School Rises from the Dust To Plant Positive Seeds
East Palo Alto, CA (ContentDesk) June 9, 2004 -- A local charter school is defying the odds.
The K-8 school was previously closed by the school's Board of Directors and then re-opened by the parent body. Many predicted that The School of Wisdom and Knowledge would not make it through the school year.
Despite these opinions, the school has undergone a year of stabilization and has received unanimous approval for a five year continuance of it's charter by the Ravenswood City Unified School District.
The school's stabilization plan called for a name change and additional financial support.
To this end, The Phoenix Academy was born and announces it's first annual benefit banquet "Planting Positive Seeds"."Planting Positive Seeds", promises to be a fundraising party to remember.
It will be held Saturday June 12, 2004 from 5:30pm ? 12am at the Cabana Hotel, 4290 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California 94306. (650-857-0787)
This event features Honorable Willie Brown, former Speaker of the House and past Mayor of San Francisco.
The evening will include live entertainment, gourmet dining, dancing and silent auction.
The friends and supporters of both the outgoing School of Wisdom and Knowledge and incoming Phoenix Academy encourage all to join in the celebration and attend.Charter schools are public schools that were established on a smaller scale to address the needs of students that were not met in the traditional school environment.
The Phoenix Academy has been able to address the educational development of our students through personalized lesson plans and innovation in our educational approach. The Phoenix Academy works collaboratively to create a supportive, innovative, and academically challenging educational environment that nurtures its students and prepares them for high school and beyond. The Phoenix Academy emphasizes preparation of its students for a successful and rewarding future by developing both academic and non-academic skills.

How to use flax seed
You can eat whole flax seeds but you need to chew them good to break them up. Your stomach will not dissolve whole flax seeds and many of them will come out in your stools. Chew about a tablespoon in the morning. Then drink 8 oz of water. Make sure if you chew flax seeds that you drink water since the seed expand and become gelatinous.There are brown and golden colored flax seeds.
The golden cost more but there is not difference in their nutritional value.You can grind them up in a grinder and add them to your smoothies. It is best not to use them in any cooking recipes. Heat destroys the value of the flax oil and makes it toxic. I don't recommend you buy ground up flax seeds as found on websites or in health food stores. Once you grind your flax seeds, you need to use them in your drinks or food soon after grinding so they don't lose their nutritive value.
Even though Nutri Flax, ground up flax seed, is packaged so the flax seeds don't see light or oxygen, what happens...

When it comes to your publicity plan, WHENyou launch your campaign can be just as important as what and how youlaunch.PLANTING PUBLICITY SEEDSSome business owners may be of the mindset: "I think we'll wait to launch apublicity campaign until after January 1 to generate consumer interest."

Experience the Strange and Twisted World of Internet Cafes
Being a novice of the Internet and realms of technology in general, the idea of hanging out in an Internet caf? scared me about as much as it used to when I first sat in front a computer trying to figure out how to turn the thing on. Pictures of super-obese, nerdy, snotty-nosed tech-heads filled my head as well as visions of stagnant, sterile rooms crammed with blue screens flashing the latest comic heroes and teen idols. Well, I just went on a trip to several countries around the world and I...

How I Met My Angel
Today I was in rather a whimsical mood, and so instead of my usual "how to" article, I thought I'd create a fairy tale for the child within you to enjoy. When I was just a young soul, on my first incarnation to be a human being, I wasn't sure that I wanted to go to Earth School. I felt so happy here, in Paradise. I did what I liked and I never ran out of time. I played with my friends and we made art by mixing colors out of rainbows, and made music by waving our hands in certain ways in the wind,...
