North County Students at the PAC James J. Brescia Ed.D. County Superintendent of Schools When I first entered North County classrooms as a teacher in the late 1980s, I observed how the arts are part of a well-rounded education. Arts education refers to the disciplines of music, dance, theatre, and visual arts. Even the early writings of Plato emphasized the important role of the arts in education. I believe the arts are part of what makes us most human, or more complete as people. Throughout my career, I have read, participated in, and conducted research that illustrates some of the many reasons why the arts can serve to improve learning in all academic areas. Brain research data indicates that “ It is so important for people at a young age to be invited to embrace classical music and opera.” Luciano Pavarotti neural systems that influence fine motor skills, creativity, and even emotional balance are developed through the arts. Judith Burton of Columbia University researched the complex cognition and creative capacities required in the subjects of math, science, and language arts. Her research linked academic achievement and the arts (Burton, Horowitz, & Ables, 1999). “The arts enhance the process of learning. The systems they nourish, which include our integrated sensory, attentional, cognitive, emotional, and motor capacities, are, in fact, the driving forces behind all other learning” ( Jensen, 2001). My office is committed to promoting the arts by facilitating professional artists working alongside local students in professional settings. A few of the upcoming highlights include: • A dedicated space for all North County schools will be provided at Studios on the Park to display student art beginning this summer. • The San Luis Obispo Museum of Art is currently sponsoring AWAKEN, a year-long program celebrating art and community expressed through the imaginative creations of our county’s students. • On Saturday, May 11 (Mother’s Day weekend), Opera San Luis Obispo will produce the first Countywide Arts Extravaganza. The Opera San Luis Obispo Gala Extraordinaire will feature student artists from throughout the county working with Ballet Theatre San Luis Obispo, Civic Ballet San Luis Obispo, Opera SLO Resident Artists Holly Banfield, Alba Franco Cancel, and Amy Goymerac, in addition to students from north and south county who are involved in school dance, choral, and instrumental programs. The Gala is another example of arts organizations linking hands with education to promote the arts. For ticket information, visit www.pacslo.org or call 805-756-4849. I am proud to serve as your county superintendent of schools and to promote the arts. Hands-on experience and quality education. This is career and technical education at its finest. Future Careers.

After a wonderful, wet winter, the grass is growing (as well as the weeds!) and the flowers are bursting from the ground with incredible colors! If you dread this time of year, fear not! The Natural Alternative is coming to your rescue! Allergies are simply your immune system springing into action when you come in contact with a harmless substance such as pollen. Some allergens are present seasonally (pollen, ragweed, tree pollen, fungus mold) and others are present in the environment year-round (pet dander, dust, mites, molds). Your immune system releases inflammatory histamines into the nasal passages, resulting in runny nose, congestion, watery eyes, sore throat, etc. The Natural Alternative is stocked up with your favorites for this glorious time of year. One ancient secret for keeping nasal passages clear is a nasal cleansing pot; also known as a “Neti Pot.” It can be used daily while showering to remove dust, pollen, excess mucus and other irritants. Used with a saline solution (we also carry the special salt), you gently rinse your nasal passages to soothe and moisten when they feel dry and irritated. We have both ceramic cleansing pots as well as plastic for easy travel. As an alternative to a Neti Pot, try XLEAR natural saline nasal spray to alleviate congestion and relieve sinus pressure. The key here is to reduce the irritant’s ability to adhere to nasal membranes, washing away dust and pollen that triggers an allergic response, resulting in a runny nose and watery eyes. This simple spray is natural, fast, effective and safe for daily use. LifeSeasons ® Breathe-X Allergy & Sinus Support supports immune function, normal histamine production and relieves sinus congestion. Breathe-X provides sinus support and soothes nasal passages with quercetin and bromelain which help maintain healthy sinus tissues and vitamin C that supports immunity and normal histamine production. The citrus bioflavonoids promote blood vessel integrity and healthy immune response. Nettle leaf calms histamine production. Breathe-X has been awarded “Best in Class” for relief from allergy symptoms! Breathe-X is on sale at 20 percent off in May! Our customers are also finding powerful support and relief during allergy season with local honey! We are pleased to announce that we now carry Matthews Honey! Exceptionally rich in nutrients and savory sweet, this antioxidant-rich honey is a great compliment to oatmeal, tea, coffee or whatever needs a special touch of healthy sweetness. Happy Mother’s Day to all the special mums out there!
