A great article that talks about involving parents in the learning process. With so many grandparents raising their grandchildren, this is a great way for them to stay involved with the schools, get out of the house, and make a difference. Children love and thrive when their parents are involved in their schools. Last week, my son's school has Math Morning and every classroom was full of parents there to support and learn how they can engage their children and themselves in the common core math that is now being taught. Many of us did not grow up with common core and we are learning alongside our children.
Some neighbors of the 11 people, not all related, living at 68 Scarborough St. in Hartford have complained that the living arrangement violates city zoning rules. Is this a question of zoning not keeping up with the times or a chance for the city to protect the integrity of a valuable neighborhood?
This was such a tough case to hear about in the media, the riots and race issue that keep occurring in our society is terrible. I wonder if it was a black officer that shot Michael Brown would what happened In Ferguson have occurred, or if it was a white officer who shot a while person. Either scenario it is a terrible loss. I feel like the media keeps the hate and racism alive in our society. So many historical figures fought and lost their lives to allow races come together. Even though any race can go anywhere and attend any place they choose there is still this stigmatism alive and brewing.
Sometimes planning is thrust upon us in an emergency situation. The closing of the bridge created a scramble to house the homeless and employees. I think the Boston Public Health Commission and Mayor Walsh have done a remarkable job, with limited resources, making sure that services are still operational. I hope that they will be able to find an alternative site for Camp Harborview that operates out of Long Island in the summertime. This camp serves disadvantaged youth from the city and it is one of the better and premier camps in the city; it costs $25 for a four week session. We shall see.
The depths of their power grows exponentially on a daily basis. We read this week that power can be used in a good way or in a bad way. They are an example of how lives are at stake for the culmination of billions of dollars.
This is the second year that they will be doing this. Last year donations were so great that they were able to pass out over 300 bags to homeless men. Everything they do, from backpacks for schoolchildren in the fall, to filling the fridges of families in need in the inner city of Boston, is community activism at its finest.

Every pizza purchased for dine-in or take-out from 5 pm until close means a donation to the SFLC, whose mission is to support parents and caregivers as they raise, nurture and educate the children of Somerville.
Richmond, VA, Sept. 29, 2014 - Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack today announced USDA's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) is making up to $31.5 million in funding available to help participants in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) more easily afford healthy foods like fresh fruits and vegetables.

Being physically active is just as important to health as eating right. Children need 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous active play every day to grow up to a healthy weight. If this sounds like a lot, consider that 8-to 18-year-olds devote an average of 7.5 hours watching TV and movies, using computers and cell phones, and playing cell phones.
By Mary Ann Price Dan Cummings enjoyed playing sports as he grew up in Hyde Park, especially football and baseball. He played defensive tackle and was on the kick return team at Xaverian Brothers High School, which won the MIAA Division 1 Super Bowl in 1998.
I stayed with the theme of this week's chapter of, 'Better Together', that showed different organizations that work withing schools to involve students in community activism.
