Im trying to locate 2 teachers that taught @ Southside High in Selma, AL. Coach Raymond(B-ball coach) and Ms. Angela Wheeler (English). Its nearly reunion time and I would like to invite them to the reunion.
Anyone interested in communicating concerning AAA 4th grade?
I am in college studying to be an English teacher, but I am having to take a semester off and someone suggested substitute teaching. I was wondering if there was an age requirement. Anyone out there know?

Across America, young people are thinking and talking about equality. From the environmental justice movement to the trial of the Jena 6 – young people continue to come out in force, speaking their minds and making their voices heard on the issues they believe in. The National Campaign to Restore Civil Rights (NCRCR) is interested in hearing what today’s youth have to say about the question, “What does equality mean to you?†To that end, NCRCR seeks your assistance in reaching out to young people to let them know about our exciting essay and visual media contest.
In 1951, thirteen parents filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of their children, calling for their school district in Topeka, Kansas to reverse its policy of racial segregation. This landmark case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954), established that "in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place," making it illegal to segregate students on the basis of race. Brown v. Board was a milestone, helping to lay the groundwork for major victories in court, on the streets, and in the halls of Congress. Within a decade, Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, banning discrimination in employment practices and public accommodations and soon afterward passed laws restoring and protecting voting rights and prohibiting racial discrimination in housing.
The concept of legal equality - the principle under which each person or group is subject to the same laws – remains a cornerstone of American life. Through legal and legislative battles over race, gender, orientation, the environment, health, education, age, housing, immigration, and disability issues, the struggle for equality continues. NCRCR invites young people between the ages of 14 and 18, to answer the question, “What does equality mean to you?†Participants can enter the contest in one of two ways – by sending an essay of no more than 750 words or submitting a visual media entry, such as an original photograph, drawing, or cartoon. Enclosed with this letter please find the contest guidelines and information on how students can send in their entries. Submissions for this contest are due by Monday, April 12, 2010.
We appreciate your support and assistance in distributing information about this contest to students.
Many thanks,

Recognizing how little information about the status of civil rights in the courts is reaching people across the country, NCRCR is focusing on public education and outreach, finding ways to get the message out about the impact of court rulings on our neighborhoods, our schools, our opportunities and our rights.

You’ve probably heard that the proposed Federal budget for 2011 has some very bad news for space exploration. If enacted, the budget would cancel NASA’s Project Constellation, ending our return to the Moon, and halting our efforts for human space exploration beyond low Earth orbit.
This would mean that after the Space Shuttle is retired in 2010, the United States would have no ability to send astronauts into space, and it would have no definite plans to develop new space vehicles. Commercial transport has been suggested, but no such capability exists yet.
In place of Constellation, NASA would be asked to pursue something called a “flexible path,” meaning that they would be told to spend money with no particular goal in mind. This seems unwise to us.
We believe that it’s in our vital national interest to pursue a robust ongoing program of space exploration – both human and robotic – and its why we believe that the President’s proposal to cancel Constellation is a serious mistake.
The good news is that the proposed budget is just that: A proposal. Over the next few weeks, the House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate will meet to devise the actual budget. They’ll be guided by the President’s recommendations, but they’ll make changes where they feel necessary.
That’s why we ask you to join us in writing to your elected officials. Tell them that you support a robust program of space exploration, and ask them to restore full funding to Project Constellation. Point out that space technology is a vital part of modern society, and that investment in space helps keep our country on the cutting edge, today and in the future. Remind them that the space program is an ongoing source of innovation and science that helps grow our economy and inspires our young people to literally reach for the stars.
Please join us today in working for that future by writing to your elected representatives, and by asking your friends to do the same.

Dear Counselor Educators,
I am sure that adding an AFS student to your schools would assist your students with learning a new culture and language. Naturally, encouraging them to go on an AFS exchange is even better. Contact [link removed].
