Well, I've got a few things coming up this week, including some that may or may not materialize, depending on how people respond.
Here are some of them:
• Two elementary schools used federal stimulus funds to rehire two teachers that would have been lost to budget cuts.
• Communities in Schools is hosting a banquet Friday. I'll be there covering that event.
• Central's PTSA will be out Saturday working on what their Lowe's grant money purchased.
• There may be a follow to the OMM v. BOE case.
• The student-created drawing for the upcoming OHS Project House has been chosen.
• A local group seeks to raise money for the people of Darfur, something that's been swept aside lately in mainstream media coverage in the frenzy over Michael Jackson's funeral and, to a lesser extent, coverage of the G8 summit in Italy and continuing turmoil in Iran. (Sorry for the tangent.)
• A few other stories are in the works, depending on my ability to get in touch with people.
As always, if you know of anything going on, feel free to comment here or shoot me an e-mail at v (dot) shortley (at) newsoforange (dot) com.
