The City Hires Local Landscaping Business to Repair Garden


I got a call this morning early informing me 
that a local Landscaper had been hired by the 
City and was tilling the 
Lafayette/Genesee Historic Garden Site.
It was very welcome news.

Back-To-School Supply Block Party


Do You Type with 2 Fingers or Ten?

ATTENTION...ATTENTION:

SCHOOL YEAR 2014 - 2015 - MOST LIKELY IN THE SPRING


YOUR 3RD GRADER WILL BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE A 
STANDARDIZED TEST ONLINE. 

Are they Ready? Are you Ready?

Speed and Accuracy: In order to ensure success, the Computer Keyboard and all its functionality must become as easily utilized as the pencil, pen, crayon, or paint brush.

Buy a program and have your children practice or go to a free online site and have them practice. Some purchased programs combine the learning of the keys with fun games. The time is now, you have no choice. Begin now or face failure. The 1st set of 3rd graders required to take the test is already behind. 


How many of your 8th graders are ready? All parents must be concerned with students learning to type with ten fingers. Typing or keying in DATA must become 2nd nature to our children. They must learn now in order to compete in the school building and in the job market.

Where Are the Trolleys?

In the parking garage.





It is August 7, 2013. The Trolley's were discontinued on June 30, 2013. They were supposed to be returned to the Department of Transportation. As you can see, they are still parked in the Englewood City Parking Garage. There has been a great deal up push back from the Community, but we were ignored. Like many services that were not used by a  larger cross section of the community it was discontinued when the City was called upon to fund it. No bond ordinance was floated in an effort to save it.
