Month: February 2015

Fifth grade students at Kingsford Park School are enjoying the curriculum offered through the Common Core, because it means more opportunities to connect with the community. The standards bring the community to the classroom, and the classroom to the community, allowing students to make real-life connections with their own learning, according to the Kingsford Park Elementary teacher Kelly Moxley.

On the second Wednesday of the month, starting with March 11, from 11:30 a.m. to 1:15 p.m., you are invited to bring your lunch (or buy one from the Hometown Diner or the Makes Sense Shop) to the Carriage House at the Pulaski Historical Society. Coffee, tea, water or soda will be provided.

A handful of college students, as well as a local politician, recently gathered at the Oswego Salvation Army’s office to help paint and improve the interior of the building.
