5. Individuals interested in taking mentor training can do so this summer. The sessions have been moved to 8/11-8/13. You can sign-up for this on line.

6. REMINDER: Due to increasing problems with children playing with SILLY BANDS, we have banned them from school for the remainder of the year. Should children come in with them on, do not make an issue of it. Give them an envelope and let them place them inside. Then seal the envelope; put their name on it; and have them put it in their book bag.

Reality is nothing but a collective hunch.

Some national parks have long waiting lists for camping reservations. When you have to wait a year to sleep next to a tree, something is wrong.

It is only the great men who are truly obscene. If they had not dared to be obscene, they could never have dared to be great.
