Oakland Education Association members
PETER CATALFO and SUSAN SUMMERFIELD's
kindergarten and first-grade classes at Reach
Academy figure prominently in Breath Friends
Forever: A Mindfulness Story for Kids by Kids
(grades pre-K–2). That's because their students
served as study subjects for authors Laurie
Grossman, Angelina Manriquez and C H A SM I N
MOS E S' fourth-grade class. The book tells the
story of how little Leo teaches his friend Nessa
a few easy ways to stay calm while dealing with
day-to-day stresses.

Let CVT show you

members the
right path.
More Choices and
Value-Added Benefits
Healthcare can be confusing
with all the plans, options and
variables. CTA members have
different family healthcare
situations and need to have
choices, as well as plans, that
meet their needs. That's what
California's Valued Trust is all
about. More choices, more
options and people to help your
Association and its members
through the complex journey of
healthcare benefits.
