Coastal Middle School Achieves
International Baccalaureate Status
Coastal Middle School is
now officially an
International Baccalaureate
(IB) World School. On July
29, 2010 the school became
one of 13 IB Middle Years
Programme World Schools
in Georgia and one of only
366 nationwide, authorized
to offer the IBMY
Programme designed for
ages 11-16. Coastal Middle
School in partnership with
Johnson High School will
offer the five year pro
gramme. Years 1, 2 and 3
(Grades 6, 7 and 8) are
offered at Coastal Middle
School and Years 4 and 5
(Grades 9 and 10) are offered
at Johnson High School.
“As an IB Middle Years
Programme school, Coastal
Middle will provide an inter
nationally respected
approach to teaching and
learning that along with the
state performance standards
will prepare students for
challenging learning experi
ences now and in their
futures,” said Kerry Coursey,
Principal of Coastal Middle
School.
“The MYP curricular
framework educates the
whole child and provides a
comprehensive, inquiry-
based approach to teaching
and learning. While incorpo
rating local, state, and
national curriculum require
ments as well as the arts and
a second language, the MYP
reaches beyond minimum
standards to provide a rich,
rigorous education of habit
and mind,” states Charles
Todd, District IB
Coordinator.
The IB programmes are
recognized globally as the
most rigorous academic pro
gram that a student can
undertake. Therefore,
becoming an IB World
School is a very intensive
process that takes at least
two years to complete.
The International
Baccalaureate Organization
has very rigorous standards
and pedagogical methodolo
gies to which schools must
conform.
The faculties of Coastal
and Johnson have undergone
extensive training and
worked very hard to prepare
their schools and are to be
congratulated for their
efforts.
The goal of this series
of articles and the goal of the
Health Restoration 101 pro
grams are to help you maxi
mize your chances of living a
longer, healthier life. Our
programs are simple, com
prehensive, well documented
and easy to follow.
“Nutrition Consulting Saves
Lives”
During my tenure with
the Southern Community
Cohort Study, I met in
Jacksonville a woman who
lives in Alabama, who travels
to Atlanta quarterly, for a
massage.
It took a while for me to
get my mind around that
whole concept, but finally I
did.
I thought about this
because she called the other
night, and in our long conver
sation, reminded me why
she’s on her way to Atlanta,
and invited me to join her
there.
She tells me that there is
this place, were the masseuse
wraps you in a warm towel,
massages you with warm oil,
treats you as though you are
the only woman left on earth,
for him to work his magic on,
for one complete hour.
Then afterward, she
returns to the hotel for a nap,
fully relaxed, and later enjoys
dinner with friends, at her
favorite place.
My friend tells me that
after this body work, she
feels that she’s been repaired
from all the misery she’s
endured (physically and emo
tionally).
WOW! Talk about a way to
relax!.
In our busy, bustling
and effervescent lives, run
ning about, to and from
Carolyn Guilford, CNC
appointments, meetings,
libraries, airports, hunched
over the computer, church
events, and who knows what
else we are doing on a daily
basis, we certainly need some
fabulous relaxation time.
Even a change after
hibernating, with the doors
locked and the phone
unplugged, trying to com
plete an assignment on time.
Working out every day,
doing the stretches every
morning and in the evenings,
is a great thing. Wholly bene
ficial for lessening the ten
sion, strengthening the body,
energizing us and even
increasing circulation and
balance. This is an absolute
‘must do’ to some degree.
Ahhh, but a massage is
the ultimate in de-stressing.
Great for the neck, shoulders,
arms, back, legs and feet.
Especially, after so much
work. Yard work, house
work, work work, not to men
tion the soreness from when
you fell down the steps or
twisted your foot on the
dance floor.
Massage is a great way
to heal the stresses of the
body and the mind. Relaxing
the muscles relaxes the mind.
And, if you put your all into
it, with some great music,
you can even get your inner
spirit healed, (from all the
foolishness).
We have long known
the importance of the healing
touch for babies. That if they
are not touched and loved,
they ‘fail to thrive’. How
children who are not touched
lovingly don’t socialize well,
and may even develop health
issues. Adults likewise, who
miss the needed touch, tend
to become grumpy, difficult
or depressed. We too, can fail
to thrive without the healing
touch.
Certainly, we can mas
sage ourselves with oils and
lotions, and it is effective and
necessary, but limited, for
still the mind/spirit is in need.
I have always believed
that having something to look
forward to increases ones
life’s joy. So, why not plan a
fun, uplifting event with
friends, to include a spa event
with a massage.
Having a little some
thing stashed away for (not
just emergencies) happy
occasions, is just one of the
ways to show gratitude for
living a rich and abundant life
in a rich and abundant coun
try.
Remember, Health is a
Choice.
