We welcome Dr. Vanessa Quezada (Kickapoo/Chichimeca). She is a pharmacist and founding member of SanArte Healing and Cultura clinic.

Our school communities will develop healthier eating habits for successful outcomes in and out of the classroom. We will reflect upon our cultural connections to food and discuss the importance of sugar stability in the body as related to mental health support.
