Whole Child La Crosse is now official. We had our first meeting at Quizno's. Who's we?
Marty Lorenz, Ann Wonderling and Tracie Happel.
Goal: To meet each other and decide if we had a common vision in creating a school/practice/business to meet the needs of the WHOLE child, not just pieces.
Philosophy: Children need to be challenged as a whole person: Academically, nutritionally, physically.
Meeting notes: School (this is yet to be determined) will be set up in pods. DC, DO, OT, educ, MD. Max 5-6 kids to start. 8-10 (?) program, summer, 2 hours/day?, serve 2 meals?, organic
Homework:
Ann - contact OT to feel for interest, common philosophy
Marty- contact Waldorf for building
Tracie - contact MD for possible interest, find CSA, look deeper into funding (grants, SBA-women, organic farming)
All - come up with mission statement, name, make list of materials
Next meeting: TBA, contact via email for now
Please email the group when you have information. Don't wait! Waiting will breed death in the idea, emailing will keep the dream alive!

Great Job Tracie. The future for creating whole children has just gotten much brighter. Here's to the future and our role in its foundation.

I think it would be worthwhile to spend some time with Tamara before she returns to school. Input? Marty
