Harry Hart was Emporia Treasure
Mr. Hart will be missed so much. He gave me a love of my own art, when I thought I had no talent. He was a large part of this community and our hearts. RIP Mr. "Art"

Pretty ironic, that her older brothers were 2 of 3 boys involved at the massacre at the zoo this past summer.

Eagles plan Gift packages for troops
When my best friend was in Iraq the fiirst time, I sent her 10lbs of gummy bears. She was the favorite in her unit for quite some time. She will be going back this month. This is a great idea, for all soliders!!! It is the least we can do for them.

Visitors focus on early childhood
What portion of the program must be typical peers? I know it is a very small portion.

Penalties continue in zoo vandalism cases
I hope the people doing the pre-sentece investigation can get a really good look at this boy's past. He needs so much help.

Legislators, candidates study early education
As a mom of two children that will be old enough to go to the preschool next year. I have been told that one child will defiantly be able to go because of their exceptionality. The other child they will have to see if that child will qualify to be a “typical” peer. I have been told from outside sources that not many typical peers are chosen. Do preschoolers need good peer role models? I know how important it is to have many levels in a classroom. How can we limit who is entitled to get preschool? Just because there will not be extra funding because a child is lacking an exceptionality, is that a reason to exclude them? I am a firm believer in early childhood education. I just wish the system in Emporia was more fair to all children. I can tell you that a normal child without preschool will be behind their peers in kindergarten that have received preschool.
