St. Charles Students Live in the 1960s ... Temporarily
Instead of just studying about U.S. life in the 1960s, middle-school students at St. Charles Borromeo Catholic School decided to relive it for a short while. The eighth-grade social studies class taught by Bill Sorice held a 1960s festival to demonstrate their knowledge of 1960s history that included the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War. ~more |
LAKE SILVER ELEMENTARY NEWS
Lake Silver Elementary School Students Stepping into Charity |
Mr. Yuhasz's 5th grade class from Lake Silver Elementary decided to start a shoe drive. Now, you may be wondering why the shoe drive was started. Well, it was not just for fun, or to get out of class. It was to learn team work, to give to others without receiving a reward, and to think about others before yourself.
Already, over 330 of pairs of shoes have been collected. The students have really enjoyed participating in the shoe drive. A special "thank you" goes out to all Lake Silver's wonderful students and families who donated shoes and to Mr. Yuhasz for setting it all up. |

Orange County School Board approves offer to purchase land for Edgewater High renovation
As part of plans for the renovation of Edgewater High, board members approved a binding written offer of $26,927,365 to Demetree Builders, Inc.,the owner and tenants of land in the vicinity of the current school site. The need to purchase additional land was identified several years ago. The district’s Five Year Capital Plan calls for renovations of the Edgewater campus to be completed by the beginning of the 2010-11 school year. In order to meet that deadline, it will be necessary to begin renovations by the summer of 2008. The offer amount represents the highest of four separate appraisals conducted since January 2007, plus an estimated $648,365 for fixtures and immovable assets on the land occupied by a shopping center.
