Check out the #CitizenTimes article linked in our bio... it’s picking up on the national discussion about school start times. Both the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association recognize that a late start is better for kids, especially teens. Our change this fall to an 8:45 start time in Odyssey Intermediate and High School is based on science, so let those kids sleep a little longer--and still get to school on time! 😴 #sleep #sleepislife #highschool #asheville #latestart #k12 #monarchbutterfly #scienceinthemorning #integral #wholechild #wholisitic #education
