On October 20th, our evening Massage Therapy class had the pleasure of welcoming Sifu Travi Ginn, who led an engaging Tai Chi session for our students. Sifu Ginn demonstrated the importance of proper body mechanics and guided students through movements and stances that can enhance their balance, flow, and efficiency around the massage table.

We appreciate Sifu Ginn for sharing his expertise and helping our students connect the principles of Tai Chi with effective massage therapy practice!

Polk County Middle School students had an exciting opportunity to build confidence and leadership skills this summer at the Leadership Camp, funded by GEAR UP APEX through Appalachian State University. The camp offered hands-on activities, team-building challenges, and interactive workshops designed to help students grow as leaders in their schools and communities. Thanks to the support from GEAR UP APEX, participants gained valuable experience, made lasting friendships, and developed tools to succeed both academically and personally.
