The Ola Babcock Miller Building, a State of Iowa office building at 1112 East Grand Avenue in Des Moines, hosted Roosevelt High School’s Bridges to Harmony Choir for some holiday music over the lunch hour last week. The acoustics of the Miller Building’s rotunda beautifully showcased the wonderful sounds of the choir. Click on the image to enjoy photos from the performance on the district’s Flickr page.

Gladys Noll Alvarez, who heads the Trauama Informed Care Project at Orchard Place, spoke to Roosevelt High School staff yesterday about the hazards of Adverse Childhood Experiences. It was one of two of Roosevelt’s professional development sessions dealing with the subject, which last week included a special screening of the documentary “Paper Tigers.” Click on the image to read why this topic matters in the classroom and beyond.
