MICHIANA EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
1) CONNECTIONS The Brain Development Seminar
2) Diary of Anne Frank Performance--TONIGHT!
1) CONNECTIONS The Brain Development Seminar
Learn how to improve and even eliminate ADD/ADHD, autism, sensory processing delays, academic and behavioral issues and more through movements that develop the brain.
Good evening,
My name is Virginia Largent. I am a Christian neurological reorganization specialist, home school advocate and director of the Virginia Beach School of the Arts. Neurological reorganization is a process which develops and connects brain regions in response to sensory motor activities. In plain English, this changes kids' brains.
Add/ADHD, autism, academic, behavioral, emotional and social delays are all caused by parts of the brain not being fully connected or mature. When these delays are present because of genetics, the environment or injury, the brain can actually be changed and the connections made so these symptoms improve and many times even go away. We have children who are getting their diagnosis reversed, coming off of medication under a Dr's supervision, grades going from C's,'D's, and F's to A's and B's. Parents are reporting the total absence of nuclear meltdowns after just 3 weeks of doing these specific movements.
Marian University at St. Vincent Health is bringing us in to train parents of special needs kids how to do this. Connections: The Brain Development Seminar will be presented at Marian University August 1 & 2. Friday night is 7-9 pm, Saturday is 9 am – 3 pm
Here is a link to our website Connections: The Brain Development Seminar.
You will find many, many testimonials from MD's, professionals and stay home moms.

2) Diary of Anne Frank Performance--TONIGHT!
On Friday, May 16, the senior class at Trinity School will present The Diary of Anne Frank. The play, written by Frances Goodrich and Albert Hackett, is based on the book, The Diary of Anne Frank. The Frank family was a Jewish family living in Amsterdam. The Dutch hid a number of Jewish families from the Nazi's after the Germans occupied Holland during World War II. The play covers the time from July of 1942 until June of 1944, when the Frank family, the Van Daans and a Mr. Albert Dussel went into hiding in an attic of a business owned by Otto Frank to esc. The play covers the tensions of the people living together for two years in hiding. Even though this was such a dark time in history, the play is full of warmth, humor and pity.
The public performance is Friday, May 16, at 7:30 in the evening in the Trinity School Auditorium. The cost of admission is $5.00 for adults, $3.00 for students and children and $16.00 for a family.
