150 kids get to meet our BrainMinder buddies

Last Monday-March 22, some 150 kids from the Leonardo da Vinci Charter School in Chula Vista met our BrainMinder Buddies: Gerald Giraffe, Hero the Horse, Martin the Monkey, Fiona the Fox, Penny the Panda, and the Old Wise Owl.

Using our very own BrainMinder scripts written exclusively by ElsieLee, the kids were given an introduction to the BrainMinder buddies, and how they can and should take care of their brains.

Here are some pics during the event...
