The weather continues to be hot and somewhat dry with temperatures in the upper eighties and into the nineties sometimes. There have been heat warnings given by the weather stations so if you must be out a lot be safe and be sure to stay hydrated.

Speeding-related crashes are far too common in the United States, accounting for 11,258 of the 38,824 auto accident fatalities in 2020. With speeding resulting in increased stopping distances, reduced effectiveness of protective equipment and greater crash force, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that fast drivers cause 29% of all deadly accidents. These lead-footed motorists are responsible for an average of 30 deaths daily and one death hourly throughout the U.S. Risks aren’t shared equally, though. Data analyzed by Forbes Advisor revealed the...
Q.) How many years have you been in the education profession? What made you gravitate towards it? A.) This is my 23rd year. I actually thought I would only teach a year because Kevin's dad had just passed away and I quit my job to care for him.

What is the most gratifying part of my job is 2 things... G...

Much has been written about the battles and soldiers of World War II, the generation that saved the world from Hitler's reign of terror and the infamous bombings at Pearl Harbor by the Japanese, that drew the US into the war. When reading about battles and wars it is imperative that we remember that these men were not just characters in a story but real men with real flesh and blood lives, families, and dreams. In the following narrative I will try to recount how our newest display in the...
