    275. How Acton Academy Empowers Kids to Lead Their Learning

    Explore innovative learner-driven education with Sarah Fagerberg, founder of Acton Academy Johnson City. Discover how this model fosters critical thinking, resilience, and purpose in children, challenging traditional schooling paradigms. This is for every parent in the Tri-Cities who has quietly wondered if there's a better way to school, and didn't know one existed right in their backyard. I can speak to what learner-driven education actually looks like day-to-day, why the traditional school model struggles to develop agency and initiative, and what it means for a community when children are raised to know their calling rather than just pass a test.

    274. How a Small Health Food Store Became a Community Hub for Holistic Wellness

    Jill Bickford is the co-owner of Natural Foods Market, a family-owned health food store dedicated to making a heartfelt difference in the lives of customers and the community by providing products and resources that promote healthy lifestyles. Natural Foods Market’s vision is to create an environment where all staff and customers feel encouraged, educated, and empowered to take control of their health and wellness journey. Natural Foods Market is celebrating our 45th year in business and with that our focus has been carrying out our vision for the store - mainly through education.  We have always done a lot of staff education, and this year brought back our in-store community centered education.  What started as a proposed 4 event series has turned into an almost monthly series.  June 9th is our next Community experience where we will have Yoland Mabry, a holistic nurse practitioner, speak to guests.  "Continuing the Conversation:  Healthy habits and Cancer support".    We call this series "VIP Shopping Experience and Community Lecture" It is a ticketed event where we close the store at 6 and only reserved tickets are part of the evening event.  We start with a meal and the conversation of topic followed by exclusive/discounted shopping.
