Village of Riverside Eliminates Crossing Guards

The PTA/ PTO’s of District 96 would like you to be aware the Village of Riverside has not funded crossing guards in next year’s Village budget. District 96 has sought legal counsel regarding the implications of reimbursing the Village for the cost of the guards.

For information regarding the elimination of the crossing guards, please read the landmark article: Who will foot the bill for the crossing guards?

If you have an opinion about this issue, we would encourage you to speak with or e-mail our District 96 and Village elected officials.

The next District 96 Board of Education meeting is Tuesday, May 18th at 7:30 P.M. at Hauser Jr. High School. The agenda has allocated time for public comment. The issue was tabled at the April meeting for discussion and action at the May meeting.

Casablanca at Hauser, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7:00pm

Allyn — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:39:01 +0000

ACTION! Casablanca Debuts Next Week

The actors, stage crew and directors involved in Hauser Junior High School’s presentation of Casablanca have been working very hard, putting the finishing touches on their rendition of the movie made famous by Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman. Performances will take place this Tuesday, March 23, and Wednesday, March 24, 2010, at 7 p.m. at the school, 65 Woodside Road, Riverside. The free performances are open to the public, so bring your friends and family to support these hard-working people!

In an interesting twist, this play, directed by Hauser teachers David Mason and Karina Koncius, will incorporate actual film, a first at Hauser Junior High School. The idea is to replicate the film angles and feel of the movie as closely as possible. More information about the play and its use of film was featured in articles that appeared in both The Landmark and Suburban Life last week.

Both directors are excited about the show this year because the great cast features very strong lead actors and a huge cast of extras, including Nazis, Moroccans and spies. Additionally, there will be a surprise at the end of a show: a technological slight of hand that will leave viewers marveling at its sophistication!

The entire cast has rehearsed tirelessly to present a high-quality, dramatic, action-filled play. For more information, please contact: Mrs. Koncius at konciusk@district96.org or Mr. Mason at masond@district96.org. See you at the show!

If you can find it in your heart this holiday season to make a donation, of any size, please put it in an envelope marked KidsCare and put it into your child’s backpack OR drop it off at the Central School office, attention KidsCare by Thursday 3:00, December 17th. If you have any questions about how this money will be used, please contact Cheryl Dowling.

Thank you very much for your generosity.
