Do you or a family member: 

 Suffer from being easily distracted? 

 Have difficulty maintaining a positive mood? 

 Underperform academically due to specific learning challenges? 

 Become easily overwhelmed? 

 Have problems staying in control of your behavior? 

On Wednesday, June 12th, from 7:00 – 8:30 pm, Dr. Robert Davis, a licensed clinical psychologist and director of the Brain Analysis & NeuroDevelopment (BAND) Centers in Florence and Amherst will be offering a free presentation at Cup and Top Cafe on the use of Neurotherapy, a cutting-edge, neuroscience-based approach to reducing or eliminating symptoms associated with attention, learning, behavior and mood disorders. Neurotherapy is a safe, effective, non-invasive and medication-free form of treatment. Neurotherapy was recently ranked by the American Academy of Pediatrics as a ‘Level 1’ treatment for ADHD, (i.e., equal or greater in effectiveness to medication, behavior therapy and parent training).

Don’t miss this important opportunity to learn more about the potential benefits of neurotherapy. For more information, visit the BAND Center website at: http://www.bandcenterllc.com.

Student Author Reading – Wed. May 1st @ 11:30am

 

Stories of Food & Faith in the Valley

Seventh and eighth grade students at the Hilltown Cooperative Charter Public School will be reading stories from their cookbook, THE THINGS THAT FEED US: STORIES OF FOOD AND FAITH FROM THE PIONEER VALLEY, created as part of their study of the world’s religions.

Students researched the question, “Why do people practice religion?” by interviewing people from many faiths and backgrounds in the Pioneer Valley. As they collected stories, they realized that food has a central role in many people’s faiths, and they also gained a deeper understanding of the rich diversity of beliefs represented where we live. Students compiled the stories and recipes into a cookbook and illustrated them with thematic pen and ink borders.
