The Dorris-Eaton School

Dorris-Eaton is an independent school serving students from preschool through eighth grade. For more than 70 years, we have earned a reputation for exceptional teaching and academic excellence. Our six-acre preschool campus in Alamo offers a warm, nurturing environment where young learners explore, discover, and develop confidence. A rich curriculum, complemented by classes in art, Spanish, and music, gives children a solid foundation for kindergarten and the years ahead. At our K–8 San Ramon campus, the curriculum emphasizes strong academic fundamentals while encouraging critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. Classes in art, Spanish, music, and physical education, along with a wide variety of electives for students in grades 6–8, broaden the educational experience. Small class sizes allow teachers to recognize individual strengths, provide meaningful feedback, and help students build effective study habits and communication skills. Both campuses offer before- and after-school care as well as summer workshops. In San Ramon, after-school offerings include soccer, piano, robotics, chess, and 3D printing and design. Character development is woven throughout the school day. Students learn and practice kindness, respect, responsibility, and a growth mindset, while community service, school-wide volunteer programs, and age-appropriate leadership opportunities foster a sense of social responsibility.

Jimmy & Jennifer Jhanda take the reins - new Primos Owners

PRIMOS

Big news is cookin' in downtown Danville: Primos, the neighborhood hangout that's been serving up good times and great food for nearly 50 years, has new owners—Jimmy and Jennifer Jhanda. Even better? They've teamed up with local restaurant powerhouse guru Wes Aziz, who will be running the show as Operating Partner. The Jhanda family—deeply rooted in the Danville community—is stepping in with one goal: keep everything locals love about Primos, while breathing in new life where it counts. Think: the same welcoming vibe, comfort classics on the menu, plus a few fresh twists and surprises coming soon. "Primos is legendary in Danville and has a great soul," said Jimmy Jhanda. "We're not here to change that—we're here to protect it, refresh it, and make sure it's still around for the next 50 years." Jhanda sold and exited his wildly successful tech staffing franchise 12 months ago and retired. One goal during retirement, for both him, and his wife Jennifer was to make an investment in the local Danville community and Primo's checked all the boxes. Great Food. Energized Sports. Community Feel. "Primos is part of the fabric of this town," said Jennifer Jhanda. "We're just adding a few new threads." Wes Aziz, known for turning restaurants into neighborhood hotspots, is bringing his signature energy and expertise to the day-to-day. From the kitchen to the floor, he's already rolling up his sleeves and getting to work. "Primos has always had a great vibe," said Aziz. "We're dialing that up. More flavor, more fun, and more community—that's the mission." "Under this new leadership dream team, guests can expect updated decor, community focused events, and a refreshed menu that honors Primos' roots while adding new crowd pleasers. But don't worry—your favorites aren't going anywhere." The team invites everyone—old regulars, new neighbors, and curious foodies—to stop in and say hi.

What if the body could be understood not only through anatomy, but also through the language of energy, emotion, and the mind-body connection?&nbsp;<a href="https://members.yogasix.com/book/yogasix-danville/cr_99907906?amp_device_id=8e71AmBle4RW4DFOih4Ypl" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Book your spot here.</a>
Join Caramia Tambornino at YogaSix Danville for a special workshop exploring the seven major chakras and the ways these traditional energy centers have been associated with different areas of the body, emotions, experiences, and life themes.
Part discussion and part guided meditation, this workshop will introduce the chakra system in an approachable, grounded way. Participants will explore what the chakras are, where they are traditionally located, what they represent, and what people mean when they describe energy as feeling open, balanced, depleted, or blocked.

No previous knowledge of the chakra system is needed. Come curious, come open, and come ready to explore what your body may already be telling you.For more information, please call or text: YogaSix Danville at: 925-272-7800 <a href="https://members.yogasix.com/book/yogasix-danville/cr_99907906?amp_device_id=8e71AmBle4RW4DFOih4Ypl" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Book your spot here.</a>
