Learn to ride a horse!

The Westwind Community Barn in Los Altos Hills offers a three day Holiday Riding Camp 12/26-29. It runs from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm.

We offer quality ponies, pony club curriculum, a low student to instructor/assistant ratio in a park-like setting, with horse games and a horse show on the last day of camp.

The MVLA Parent Education Speaker Series presents:

Cultivating Resilience from the Inside Out: Developing a Yes Brain in Children and Adolescents

Dr. Dan Siegel

Thursday, Jan. 11, 2018 @ 7:00 - 9:00pm at Los Altos High School Eagle Theater

Please join us as Dr. Dan Siegel explores the nature of the changes in the developing brain and how they set the stage for childhood and adolescent mental, physical, and interpersonal well-being.  A “Yes-Brain” refers to how we can support the receptive state of brain activation within our families and schools. Childhood and adolescence are essential parts of our development and our evolution—and how we approach these stages with the positive, growth-mindset of a Yes-Brain, can cultivate resilience and well-being in youth.
