Today we are hosting a Staff Dress Down Day to support Autism NJ and their programs. This is one of many events we are holding this year to lead up to our second Autism Awareness 5K and Walk. The 5K and Walk will once again be held at Meadow Breeze Park on Saturday, April 21, 2012... a long way off, but mark your calendars now. Come out and support the day's events, walk, run, whatever.... If you would like to volunteer your time, please contact Ms. Milissa Dachisen here at the school.
Till next time....

Power
Like many of you I was without power. I was without power for two days and like many of you, was wondering how I could possibly get a semblance of my normal life back if the power did not come back on! I drew upon a new disdain when I heard that homes 200 yards away had power and we did not. On the same street! Them, not us! Couldn't use a generator, because we don't have one. The money that would be set aside went to have trees taken down so they did not fall on someone or fall on my neighbor's house. Then our power came back on! I suddenly remembered what it felt like when I was 7 years old and it was Christmas morning! Jumping around the house loving every minute of the Power. Realizing how many electronics we had on when the power left us...it suddenly become very clear that we used too much power.
I felt badly when I heard how rough it was in Oxford and this part of New Jersey. I felt badly when I said I had power, it seemed the wrong thing to say to those who did not. Twice as long without power and families to feed and keep warm. Families to get ready for work and school. That could not have been easy, but I heard from many people who helped each other through this difficult time. Generators shared, washers and dryers for laundry, crock pots cooking for dinner... in another town... people worked together to assist each other.
We got through this very difficult time and we helped each other. I just don't want to lose that feeling I had when the power came back on, ever!
