All the fast food resturants have pulled the tomatoes. Not only in Emporia but also in Topeka as well.

It's good that the fee is deterring people from not mowing their lawns.

In response to the questioning of why there are no early releases on Fridays, the district wanted consistency in the day that the students are getting out early. Wednesday was a reasonable choice for the mere fact that this day rarely fell on a holiday, in-service, or teacher workday where the time lost would have to be made up by the teachers. There are only so many hours in the week and the teachers are required to fulfill so many different time obligations so having to make up additional hours on top of those hours is just a pain. The requirements that teachers are being expected to complete are ever changing and are continually being added to because of state requirements.

These so called “normal folk” that work until 5pm or so have an advantage over most teachers. They receive this thing called a lunch hour and guess what, that lunch hour is an actual hour. Wow! What is that in the world of teaching? Teachers are guaranteed at least a 20-minute duty free lunch, of course this varies for the grade in which you teach. In addition, quite a few teachers can be found at the school working until 5pm or so. The misconception comes when there are also those teachers that show up exceptionally early, 6:30 or 7am, and people see them leaving at the same time as the students. Teachers get their hours in however it works best for their schedule.

I was in love with these little cute cars when I took a trip to Europe. I still think they are cute.

Although something wasn't wrote up in the paper about ESU's stuff, there were 2 emails sent campus wide to inform everyone of the incident that occured.

Tracey,
Give it time to slow down in business before going back. They will be really busy for a while. Give it another shot though. I am sure you will love it!

It's nice to know that there are people that want these loving animals, and they are not getting put down because people in the area don't want them.
