- On Dreams:

This week Wholesale Dallas Cowboys Jersey , much attention is focused on the famous March on Washington and the remarks of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. that challenged our nation at that time.

Today, as we mark the 50th anniversary of this event, I thought it would be most meaningful to speak to you about your dreams.

Why? …. Because schools are built on more than the learning that occurs both during class time and outside of school.

Schools are built on dreams. Harrisburg Academy exists for you and the efforts you put toward achieving your dreams.

Some of you may dream about learning to speak French. Others may dream about learning to read Latin, multiply two-digit numbers Wholesale Arizona Cardinals Jersey , read a large "chapter book," be admitted to the college of your first choice, or be on the winning dodge ball team.

Some of you may dream about becoming a teacher. Others may dream about becoming an author of children's books, gourmet chef, United States senator Wholesale Atlanta Falcons Jersey , designer of digital games, cardiologist, explorer of ocean bottoms, or professional tennis player.

All of your dreams are important. You'll have to work hard to achieve them and it will not be easy. But they all can come true.

Harrisburg Academy and your teachers are here to give you the guidance and encouragement you need to reach your dreams.

I hope you have a wonderful year taking many more steps toward achieving your dreams.

Dr. Jim Newman gave this speech at the All-School Assembly on the first day of school, August 27 Wholesale Baltimore Ravens Jersey , 2013.

- A Blueprint for the Academy's Future:

In creating the model for our strategic planning, the administration made a few key decisions. First, we endeavored to engage our entire school community in the process. This approach allows all Academy community stakeholders, as well as friends of the Academy, to provide feedback. We also decided to shorten the strategic planning timeline from five years to just three. This allows the Academy to more quickly adapt and react to the rapidly changing educational world in which we function.

At the core of the strategic planning process is our Planning Committee Wholesale Buffalo Bills Jersey , made up of trustees, parents, faculty, and administrators. This group attends each of the strategic planning meetings and engages in the many group conversations that generate a whole host of innovative ideas and suggestions.

Our first few strategic planning meetings have resulted in thought-provoking conversations and creative ideas. Each week the dynamics are different, as new parents and community members join the discussion. By using one broad question each week Wholesale Carolina Panthers Jersey , the meetings become our own Academy "think tank," as multiple groups wrestle with the same question but come up with radically different feedback. The five guiding questions used in our strategic planning model are as follows:

How do we achieve the long term enrollment goals at the Academy?
What internal improvements and partnerships with other organizations (including global ones) can be made to the academic, extracurricular, and co-curricular programs to provide an experience of excellence for our students?

Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize; how this occurs is not well understood. It is one of three recognized disorders in the autism spectrum Wholesale Chicago Bears Jersey , the other two being Asperger syndrome which lacks delays in cognitive development and language and Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified. Autism is a spectrum of disorders characterized by marked abnormalities in communication and social interactions. Stem cells are nothing more than a type of cell that can differentiate a different type of cell - sometimes many different types of cells. The rationale for pursuing stem cell therapy in autism is based on encouraging results of unpublished data examining stem cell therapy in children with cerebral palsy, a group of disorders that affect not only movement but learning, behavior and cognition. The potential dysfunction of the immune system as a driver for abnormalities in the nervous system has researchers interested in a possible link. Autism is actually more accurately described as a spectrum disorder, (Autism Spectrum Disorder) with some children demonstrating more severe symptoms than others. While some theories suggest that connections between neurons or nerve cells may be to blame for autism, it is unclear if stem cell therapy may help to restore such connections. While stem cells have been used to treat cancer Wholesale Cincinnati Bengals Jersey , Parkinson’s disease and certain immunologic disorders, the role and relationship of the immune system and the nervous system in the development of autism is something that has been an area of recent interest. Research in autism has indicated abnormalities in spinal fluid and chemical signaling in the brain- anecdotal reports of children undergoing stem cell therapy have indicated some potentially encouraging results. Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is three years old.

Stem cell therapy is a novel and effective approach to treating autism and is based on the unique ability of stem cells to influence metabolism, immune system and restore damaged cells and tissues. Autism is a highly variable neurodevelopment disorder that first appears during infancy or childhood, and generally follows a steady course without remission. It is distinguished not by a single symptom but by a characteristic triad of symptoms: impairments in socia.
