“When In Doubt, Throw It Out”

Would you like to spend the first week of January in beautiful, warm Costa Rica. Would you like to practice yoga, surf, work with local school children, volunteer at a turtle rescue center? All of this is possible. There are still open spots in the Costa Rica Yoga Winterm. Explore this link: http://goo.gl/Jyjtlt to get an idea of what is possible. Then, come to a meeting in Mr. Coggins’ room during student choice on Friday 8/ 19 to hear more about the program from Christine Stahr – a representative from TrueNature. If you want to talk about this trip before Friday, see Mr. Coggins or Ms. Hoffman.
