No Money for Subs?

It is no secret our schools are woefully underfunded and teachers are working with nothing. Rick Scott seems determined to finish the destruction of the school system in Florida.

Having said all that....did you know that NSB Middle School has "run out of money" for substitute teachers. So if your child's teacher is out, and it is PE, Music, Art or any other elective they are combining classes and nothing is being taught. For example...this week, 3 classes were combined into one and one substitute had roughly 90 kids in the auditorium to watch a movie on natural disasters. Some kids saw it twice.....one teacher I spoke to (who asked to remain anonymous) said that the regular classes are also being affected. Not sure about you but I am really not okay with this. I emailed the principal tonight to see what type of answer I get and I will keep an open mind until he answers me....what are your thoughts?

The fabulous picture above is the HPCS Middle School in Holland Patent, NY. That is the school my brothers and I attended and the public school system my father taught at for 30 years.

Easter Celebration at the Green Market

Join the folks at the Green Market at the Pavilion in Port Orange tomorrow for their first Easter egg hunt. It will take place throughout the entire market for kids ages 1-10 from 9:00am-1:00pm. In order to keep the egg hunt green, participants will search for 10 empty eggs around the market to be redeemed for a goodie bag at the Floridian View tent. That way the eggs don't go to waste and can be reused every year! Lots of fun with less waste!

They will have Intro to Yoga with Joy from NBalance at 8:30 and Yoga for Kids at 10:30. There will be playtime with the Little Gym at 10. Don't forget to stop by the Michael's table to decorate a sand pail to collect your eggs in! The Port Orange Hollywood movies will also be giving away great prizes including free passes!

As always the Green Market offers the freshest local and organic produce, top notch vendors, live music, and delicious gourmet brunch including free-range omelets, organic waffles, organic lemonade & mimosas!

Sounds like a great time!
