I heard that Bergstol said at a meeting last week that he dropped the QuickChek because Gromack toldRead More him the political heat was becoming too much. The site is being turned into a megastore location. CVS should go into the Shops At Nanuet. Bardonia is a small hamlet not a megastore shopping location. Clarkstown Life has been sniping at the residents for opposing the QuickChek and now is "upset" that the residents won. Pity that all of this time it could not be figured out by those professing support for the previous proposal that the company's name is not 'quick check'!

Maybe the Patch will write about it next month.

Thanks Harvey! I had the same thought when I read the comment. Instead of sitting back andRead More critiquing others, step up and volunteer to do something Sue!

Agreed, Harvey! This is a fundraiser for children, present and future. As we teach our children,Read More "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." I for one (although I speak for my whole family) am very excited for this event. We've gone to the last 3-4 wrestling events at Suffern High School (which ECPW has put on 3 of) and always had a blast! We can't wait for the 10th!

@Sue R: So that maybe we have a better appreciation for your question would you share what you haveRead More done as a volunteer for the Pearl River community? Personally, I like the food at Raffaelles and more imporatnly thank them for their support in this fundraiser that benefits Pearl River children.

I do not think that the Board of Education really knowns what is going on in the class room. My twoRead More daughters graduated the Pearl River School system, they received an excellent education. One went on to become a CPA,she graduated Iona college with a 3.9 average. The other had nothing but 100% or A in all her math in all her schooling. She graduated Hofstra University with A in math for four years. Both daughters are very up set with the way math is taught today. When their children come home from school & did not understand the math lesson,they teach them the way that they learned. They learned math prior to the New Math. Two grandchildren go to school in New York City. One the Robert F Wagner School,the other The International School by the UN. Two other grandchildren go to school in Rockland.Not the Pearl River system. I will not go into how upset my daughter in the City is about the way or should I say English is not taught.

I just talked to my third grader that took the first part of the ELA exam today. She actuallyRead More seemed to enjoy it. Good for her. She wanted to be challenged, and she's excited to see how she did. The only complaint I have is that she said she finished in 20 minutes, and had to sit the rest of the time, presumably 70 minutes, and do nothing. That seems like a waste of time to me. Not that she hasn't ever wasted 70 minutes before, but it seems like there should have been some other option besides sitting and doing nothing at school. 70 minutes of time wasted that she will never get back. Couldn't she read a book or something? Just another example of the No Child Gets Ahead program.

Touché. Bit of a cheap shot on my last sentence. I think the teachers need to listen to theirRead More boss and give put the test in front of the child. My issue is not with the teacher but with the Administration that would put a teacher in such an awkward position. The If the Supt. feels that strongly about it then he should call any parent who instructs his child not to take the test.

The Franklin Avenue Playground Committee is a group of amazing, dedicated people that have workedRead More tirelessly to raise funds for our children. I wish to express our sincere gratitude & appreciation for all that they do!
