"Cyber school? What? What are they talking about? Hmm....I'd better listen to this a little more closely!" And, what I heard on the morning radio show totally blew me away! I have friends, who have family members that home school their children. But honestly, this was the first time I'd ever heard the term, cyber school! And, I've got to tell you - the Mother and Son who were being interviewed were very happy and excited about this learning experience.
So, off to my computer I went! I Goggled "cyber school elementary" and the first entry was in my own State of Colorado - Colorado Virtual Academy Here it was, in my own backyard and I didn't even know about it! The Colorado Virtual Academy (COVA) offers a virtual learning experience for students in K -12. The instructors are qualified and experienced Colorado-licensed teachers, who are available to students both online and by phone. COVA provides a K12 curriculum which covers both core subjects and electives, online planning and assessment tools, resources, textbooks and much more. They also profess to have a very supportive school community, which organizes monthly activities for COVA parents, students, and staff. Outside of the learning materials that you may be required to purchase, COVA provides a tuition-free public education for grades K-12.
So....what do you think about this? Will this be the new wave of the future? Will cyber school someday replace the brick and mortar schools? If children are now learning at home - won't they be missing out on all the social learning aspects that a traditional school provides? Sports? Activities? After school programs?
I would love to hear your comments!
If you are looking for a restaurant that offers casual cuisine in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere, then you must try the Grand Lux Cafe in Lone Tree, Colorado.
Their prices are reasonable and they offer more than 100 menu selections and freshly baked goods. There is something on the menu for everyone in your party - from appetizers to salads, burgers, sandwiches, oven baked rustic pizzas, pasta and noodles, steaks, items from the oven and broiler, or pan and grill, lunch specials and even a late breakfast! Their desserts are baked in their own bakery, so they are hot and fresh from the oven. They will even tell you about ordering desserts in the beginning because some of the desserts take 30 minutes to prepare - now that IS fresh-out-of-the-oven! The only challenging part of the meal is trying to decide what to have! Everything sounds so good that you want to order it all!
My sorority members enjoyed a wonderful lunch there yesterday. They took a reservation for our group of ten and the service we received was fabulous! Our waiter was willing to prepare separate checks for our group and when one of the meals did not come as offered, the House Manager came to our table to offer his apology and the meal was complimentary. Now that is customer service!

The Picture Of Real Estate - what's happening where you live, comments on the local real estate market, remodeling tips, topics of interest, community and local news, places to see and things to do!
We hear all the time, "I don't know how the two of you do it - I could never work with my spouse!" Understandably, it is a rare couple that enjoys working together. This year we celebrated our 27th wedding anniversary and we have been working together for 19 years and we wouldn't choose to have it any other way. Our courtship makes for a funny story, which we love to share. In our spare time, we enjoy volunteering, gardening, exercising, hiking, concerts, theater, movies, reading, travel, and time spent with family and friends.
Robert and I have a very simple approach to our successful Denver real estate career. Our business is based on providing superior customer service and building lasting relationships. Our clients can expect professional service based on trust, honesty and our total commitment. Robert and I pride ourselves in providing personal service and attention to every detail, assisting you to make a move that not only fits your immediate needs, but your long term goals as well. "When building a relationship, everything you do, everything you say and every action you take, has an impact on that relationship". We try to never lose sight of that. You are the most important client that we have!
Commited to being the best in our profession, Robert and I have earned the designations of Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), Certified School and Community Advisor (CSCA), Graduate of Real Estate Institute (GRI), and e-PRO Internet Professional (e-PRO).
Why are these designations important to you?
Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) is the symbol of excellance in residential real estate. There's over one million REALTORS in business today. So, if you want to find that one-in-a-million REALTOR, start with the over 39,000 who hold the Certified Residential Specialist designation. CRS members have proven they have the experience, training and commitment to be among the best in their profession.
Certified School and Community advisor (CSCA) empowers real estate professionals with the training and resources they need to help them become the local expert on school and community information. This expertise is what differentiates those who have earned the CSCA designation from those who haven't.
Graduate REALTOR Institute (GRI) is the mark of a real estate professional who has made the commitment to provide a high level of professional services by securing a strong educational foundation. REALTORS with the GRI designation are highly trained in many areas of real estate to better serve and protect clients.
e-PRO Internet Professional (e-PRO) is awarded to real estate professionals who have proven to be prepared to respond to the new market place. e-PRO's are commited to being more responsive, understand that you are the boss, and will completely respect and guard your privacy. They are committed to using the Internet with skill, integrity, and professionalism.
Work with a professional who has made these extra commitments, work with us!

When you hire us you are hiring the expertise, the accreditation and certification that being a PRC Certified Agents implies.

With the backing of the Parent Relocation Foundation, PRC Certified Agents are able to support their community by offering Scholarship Awards to college bound students, and special Scholarship and Recognition Awards to Students, Teachers and Citizens who tirelessly give back to their community through the PRC Quiet Hero Award Program. PRC Certified Agents are seen within thier communities as leaders, not only for thier successful real estate practices, but for their tireless dedication to their communities.

"Jani and Robert worked diligently to sell my house in Littleton. I was extremely impressed by the marketing materials and the diligent fashion in which follow-up was completed. However, what stands out most for me in this whole experience was their people skills. They managed to keep me calm and smiling through all the stress, while always remaining extremely professional. More than anything, I loved working with Jani and Bob, just because of the people they are. Their professionalism was an added bonus!"
