Spring Fever

I can't believe I haven't posted photos yet, but here are some gems from PML's visit to Pio Pico...we'll be returning in a few weeks to finish up our lessons with the same great students we taught to in the winter:

Pic 1: Pio Pico the school! So bright and cheery.
Pic 2: The teachers! From left, members Michelle O., Angel, and Michelle C.
Pic 3: Angel showing the students a video on priming effects (they're hiding to the left of the picture)
Pic 4: The whole group for this visit! Members Michelle C., Sara, Angel, and Michelle O.

This spring quarter PML is conducting at least ten visits to Le Conte Middle School, Johnnie Cochran Middle School, and Pio Pico Span School. There may be a few more tacked on, and we can't wait! PML gathered its first round of response surveys since we've last updated so that we can monitor our effective/fun meter properly, and the feedback was awesome...both teachers gave us 10/10 marks and said they loved our lessons, and the kids seemed to agree, reporting no confusion, and enthusiasm for the interactive video workshops...our favorite "other comments" response was "Come back and real soon!" Awww, the feeling is mutual.

PML STORMS BRUINWALK!

Hear ye!!!

PML is bringing Lattes on Location to Bruinwalk this Wednesday March 10th from 9am to 4pm for mochas, lattes, espresso, hot cocoa and more! Think of us as your local coffee store...we have vanilla lattes, hazelnut lattes, caramel macchiatos, double shots etc. etc. etc. Skip the lines at the campus shops and spend your $3 this one day on quality product to help your fellow Bruins in their community outreach efforts! We need all the help we can get as a baby organization. Don't forget to pick up a silky Dominique Honeybees lip balm...buy a drink and get it for only $2 instead of the regular $3!

Gaining Momentum

Again, all too long since our last post, but we are busy bees. PML conducted its first visits to SMASH Alternative Schoolhouse and Pio Pico Span School and BOY did we love them! Nothing beats seeing the lightbulbs click and the gears turn in a student's mind, and it didn't hurt that the teachers were equally interested and engaged with our presentations.

Coming up we have our latte fundraiser @ UCLA Bruin Plaza! March 10th from 8:30am-4pm we're dishing out mochas, lattes, tea, and more to the Bruin community in order to raise funds for our outreach project.

Video of the post:
Here's an interesting video put forth from the Dove Campaign for Real Beauty, which highlights how advertisers set a rather high, unrealistic bar for attractiveness. Yet these companies still manage to set a national standard that effects self-image:
