6A – Daily News – Friday, April 1, 2011 Education in Tehama County KEEP ON LEARNING Grant opens opportunity for enterprise at learning center The Tehama Adult Learning Center celebrat- ed the grand opening of its new school-based enter- prise, "Healthy Eats and Treats" March 24 at the Tehama County Depart- ment of Education. “Recognizing the sig- nificant impact of health on academic achievement, we must do everything possible to improve the quality of health education in Tehama Coun- ty schools,” said Superintendent of Schools Larry Champion. “This new venture reinforces the health education content standards and represents our commitment to promoting excellence in health educa- tion for all students.” The new business not only provides TCDE staff and visitors with a range of healthy snack options, it also provides the center’s students with a way to earn money and gain real-world experience in budget- ing, stocking and inventory, counting money, healthy grocery shop- ping and setting goals, which are key elements to helping support the students in their next step towards independence, said the school’s teacher, Holly Allison. “We plan to use the new income to invest in our classroom,” Alli- son said. Funding for the new venture came from a grant the program received in 2010, when it was honored by the California Department of Education with the highly regarded Grazer Outstanding Achieve- ment in Learning award. The program’s school-based enterprise “The Barkery” was honored for developing innovative programs to help some of our most vulnerable students live more productive, fulfilling, independent lives, said former State Superintendent of Public Instruc- tion Jack O’Connell.
