Kansas district spent $64.9 million on school construction projects. I hope they will allot more funding in the educational construction projects. I get excited by anything that can lead to newConstruction projects in Kansas . Right now the economy could really use this type of a boost, and with the holidays coming up construction workers, like myself, need the work more than ever. I am so thankful that I stumbled over Dodge Projects, because they are an amazing resource. I can't believe I found a site that has detailed leads of jobs that are perfect for me. The best part is that they actually sorted them by your choice of state or type. You should take a look.

Dear Asbury Park Education Association,

You may be interested in a new documentary, coming to PBS in time for “Back to School.”

Immersion language learning, as seen through the eyes of four children and their families, is the topic of a delightful new film, Speaking in Tongues, which will air August/September on PBS stations. If you’re not familiar with this thought-provoking documentary, you can screen the entire film here:

http://206.111.142.8/DownLoads/SPEAKINGINTO_Screener_MonthlyEmail.mov

As educators, I believe the film’s content will be of interest to you. I am also attaching the film’s press release and web URL (below) if you’re interested in reading more information about it.

At a time when 31 states have passed “English Only” initiatives, one urban school district in San Francisco is exploring the provocative
notion that speaking a foreign language can actually be a national asset. The film follows four diverse students and their families as they encounter the challenges and delights of becoming fluent in two languages. As we witness their journey, we see how speaking more than
one language changes them, their families, their communities, and maybe even the world.

Together, they represent a nexus of challenges facing America today: economic and academic inequities, de facto segregation, record numbers of new immigrants, and the need to communicate across cultures. Using a verité story-telling approach, the film follows our
characters as they enter the portal of language and open their minds to new ways of thinking and being in the world.

In a time of globalization and changing demographics, bilingualism offers them more than an opportunity to join the global job market. Language becomes a metaphor for breaking down barriers between ourselves and our neighbors—be they around the corner or across the world.

Speaking in Tongues will air on Thirteen/WNET Saturday September 4th @ 1 pm. The New Jersey Network also plans to air it throughout the state on their four PBS stations.

I would love hearing your thoughts about this intriguing documentary once you’ve seen it.

Kind regards,
Kristin Fellows

on behalf of “Speaking in Tongues”

Comment on GENERAL MEMBERSHIP/ RATIFICATION MEETING by P.Errico

As the Webmaster of AsburyParkEA.net, I agree it is embarrassing to have lnks to adult oriented websites in the comments section.
There are currently 1500+ comments posted, less than 50 of them are from members; the rest is spam. Unfortunately the only way to remove these comments is to delete each of them one by one. I have spent a good part of the summer logging in and deleting inapropriate comments or there would be more.
I will be upgrading the Movable Type software that powers the site to a newer version that will provide far better protection from spam and garbage postings. It will have to wait for the time being as the process will prove to be time consuming and, like many other members, I need to prepare for the new school year.
I do appreciate the feedback, had you left your name and/or email address I could have contacted you directly regarding this situation. This would be a perfect topic/discussion for the Message Board. Please make full use of this website!!

Thanks Again,
-Pat Errico Webmaster - AsburyParkEA.net

I heard that the Asbury Park High School had been sold or is being sold. I would like to know if this is true. If this is, why? I have a child who is a senior attends the Asbury Park High School and another child that I would like to see graduate from the High School that I graduated from.

I would appreciate it if someone would kindly respond.

Thank you.
Mrs. L. Britt-Murray
