Preschool Student Enrollment
We count on parents to ensure that children attend school and arrive on time.
Parents are expected to inform the school when their children will be absent. If we don't hear from parents, the school will make reasonable efforts to notify parents within the applicable time periods prescribed by law. Let us know right away if you change phone numbers. Parents should provide notes from doctors and dentists to excuse children for appointments, illnesses or injuries. If parents do not authorize absences within one day after their children return to school, absences are unexcused. Parents who anticipate extended absences should contact the school. If they do not, children are withdrawn from school after missing 10 days in a row.
Students are tardy if they are not seated when the bell signals the start of class.
Health Acknowledgement
Mesa Public Schools does not provide accident medical/dental coverage for students for injuries/illnesses occurring at school. Parents may voluntarily purchase a student accident insurance plan. Parents are financially responsible for any medical, dental, ambulance, or other health care expenses or transportation home, which might occur as a result of such illness or injury. If your child needs medication or other health services at school, you must make arrangements with the school health office.
Homeless Assistance
A student may be considered eligible for services as a "Homeless Child or Youth" under the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act if he or she is presently living:
- In a shelter, temporary shared housing, or transitional living program
In a hotel/motel, campground, or similar situation due to lack of alternatives
At a bus station, park, car, or abandoned building
Please contact Homeless Assistance Services at 480-472-0291 for information.
Opt Out Options
District News and Media Coverage

Unless the parent opts out of directory information releases, the district will disclose such information only if the request is from (i) a postsecondary institution such as a college or university; (ii) a law enforcement agency or the Department of Child Safety; or (iii) a vendor selected by the school to provide a school-related service, such as class photos and yearbooks. Under no circumstance will the district provide directory information to a person or entity for a mass marketing purpose.

De Jong's Furniture Retirement Sale
My dad and his brothers are retiring. My grandfather started the business when they came to Canada from Holland when my dad & his twin brother were 3 years old. The store has been a big part of my life and the lives of all of my family members, so it's a pretty huge event for us all.
I was in town for the start of an early opening to their retirement sale where I got a chance to take a few photos. Here are just a few of them:
This was taken the day before the sale:
People waiting in line for the doors to open:
There's still equipment in the back room from when they used to build their own furniture:

I grew up in the Twin Cities, and as long as I can remember I wanted to be on the radio. After graduating high school, I immediately went to work in Grand Forks, ND at KZLT for a few years before moving back to Minneapolis to work as the Assistant Producer for the Dave Ryan Morning Show at KDWB (101.3 FM). After KDWB I did nights at WXPT (104.1 FM) in Minneapolis for just over 5 years before deciding it was time for a change, so I moved to Duluth to become the Program Director of WWAX, I worked there for about 5 years before coming to work here at MIX 108. I live in Superior with my wife Mindy, daughter Rose, son Harrison and dog Rawko. In my free time I enjoy playing with the kids, DIY home improvement projects, photography, and enjoying all the Twin Ports has to offer. See ya around town and THANKS for listening!

Bell Helicopter workers end strike after one day
A strike by members of the United Auto Workers Local 218 at Bell Helicopter in Fort Worth only lasted one day.
The workers -- more than 2,500 machinists, packers, forklift operators and other workers -- struck at midnight Friday, but the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported the union decided to end the strike on the following midnight.
The picketing was marred Friday when a striking worker was hit by a pickup truck trying to enter the Bell facility. The picketer received an injured knee, witnesses told the Star-Telegram. The truck's driver was arrested at the scene on suspicion of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, the newspaper said.
The one-day strike came after months of negotiations between Bell and the union over proposed changes to health care and pension benefits.

More complaints about banks high profits
Fiji Live continues with a report by economist, Paresh Narayan, about how banks are making substantial profits in Fiji at the expense of the businesses and the household sector. Again, I had raised this in my analysis of the profits reported by ANZ and Westpac for their financial year ended 30 September 2006 which was posted on my blog on 30 January 2007.
Now read on below the article from Fiji Live.
"Australian academic Paresh Narayan believes the concerns of retailers regarding the cost of doing business in Fiji are legitimate.
He claims the commercial banks are making substantial profits at the expense of the businesses and the household sector. And he suggested that banking regulations need to be reviewed in light of the "supernormal" profits made by the commercial banks.
Yesterday, Fiji Retailers Association president Himmat Lodhia urged the Government to come up with a budget or ideas to stop the declining trend of the economy. He said the retailing trend was changing for the worse with retail trade declining and business costs rising.
And he claimed 'a collapse in the economy is now more noticeable then ever'. Lodhia said there will be quite a few businesses in the small to medium enterprises which could collapse 'owing to the increasing costs of doing business and a relative decline in the sales trend'.
Last month, Fiji's two main banks ANZ and Westpac announced strong profits for the 2006 financial year. ANZ's net profit after tax was $42.9million (up by $13.6m over the previous year) while Westpac's was $30.1m (up by $5.8m over the previous year).
Narayan also says that the building investor confidence is crucial, and in this light tackling the issue of cost of doing business in Fiji is imperative. 'The sound law and order situation and absence of threat to both businesses and households (currently) have helped the retail sector. 'It is essential that this security situation continue,' Narayan says."
I still attribute the high profits recorded by banks in Fiji in the last financial year a direct result of interest rates hikes by the Reserve Bank of Fiji. Have they conducted a study on interest margins? I can only expect margins to have remained the same as in previous years or has widened as a result of the Reserve Bank of Fiji's interest rate policy. A good independent study is required of banks interest margins and spreads.

Eddie & Johnathan Beyuka
The late Eddie Beyuka started producing jewelry in 1956, at first working with his wife Madeline who did the inlay to his silverwork. After separation, Eddie began doing both the silver and lapidary work. He was honored as a contemporary master in the ARIZONA HIGHWAYS magazine Hall of Fame in August of 1974. The entire inside back cover was devoted to showing 7 of his distinctive kachina creations designed primarily to be used as a bolo tie, but also fitted with a small stand for stand alone exhibition. Eddie's son Jonathan has carried on his Father's work. Jonathan's kachina bolo ties are readily available at many of the jewelry outlets here in Gallup. I had never seen one of Eddie's kachina bolos for sale, but I had seen them in museums and of course in nearly all the books that deal with Southwest Native American jewelry. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to view a collection of the Father's work first hand and even do side-by-side comparisons with the work of his son. I agree with others that the son's craftsmanship is somewhat better than that of Father's. Eddie (who's work currently sells for as much as 10 fold than that of his son's work) deserves historical artistic honor a notch above the son for having pioneered this unique bolo jewelry. The piece you see above is a multi-stone Hopi Snake Dancer set in sterling silver by son Jonathan. It measures approximately 3 3/8 x 2 inches. Cost = $249. Click on image for a more detailed view.

Bev Etsate's Grand Ram Dancer Kachina Bolo Tie
Here is a fine example of a very prominent bolo tie again showing stone on stone in a silver casing. You will find no tortoise shell in this newly minted master work, the black background is Acoma Jet, the other stones, include white and yellow tipped mother-of-pearl, sleeping beauty turquoise, and red coral. It's hard to see in this image but this Ram Kachina has a nifty sterling silver wrist adornment compete with tiny cabochons of turquoise and red coral. The main piece measures 5 3/4 by 2 5/8 inches. You might be more comfortable with this work on shelf display, but it certainly shouts to be worn on special occasions, particularly here in the heart of bolo tie country where the bolo has been declared the office necktie of both Arizona and New Mexico. The cost of this bolo is $1500. A 1970's vintage piece by her Mother and Father will cost at least twice as much if you can find one.

From the outside, country star Luke Bryan looks to have a picture-perfect life. He's won the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, and he's sold over 7 million albums and 27 million singles worldwide. But there's been pain and tragedy along the way.
In an interview with ABC, Bryan opened about the siblings he lost. He also shared how that led to him and his wife, his college sweetheart Caroline Boyer, taking in his nieces and nephew, reported People.
In 2000, Bryan's brother, Chris, died in a car accident. Seven years later, in 2007, his sister Kelly suddenly passed away.
"Just when we started picking up the pieces with my brother, then my sister—we lose my sister," he told Robin Roberts in the interview. "I've watched my family go through ebbs and flows where we get mad at God, and we get mad at why this happened."
But the tragedy wasn't over. In 2014, Kelly's widower, Ben Cheshire, also died. Bryan and Caroline decided to take in the couple's three children: son Til, now 15, and college-aged daughters Jordan and Kris.
"We never thought twice about it," Caroline said of the decision. "You know, it was never something that he and I had to sit down and talk about. 'Should we take this on?' We just did that."
The couple already has two sons together, Thomas "Bo", 9, and Tatum "Tate", 7. Since their boys are young, Bryan shared that raising a teenager took some getting used to.
"We're buddies now, though, kinda," the "Light It Up" singer, 41, joked. "Until he makes me … that's when I get onto him, I'm like, 'All right, you're making me be an adult; don't make me be an adult!'"
The family has adjusted to the losses. Bryan takes care of his sister children, but that doesn't mean the hole isn't still there.
The pain of losing his siblings will likely never go away, shared Bryan. Luke wasn't the only one to have tragedy in his life; Caroline also lost her infant niece in February.
"You keep going and you try to, try to be as positive as you can, and you try to appreciate every day," said Bryan. "You'll never get back to 100 percent. You'll always be working to get back to 75 percent."
In other news, Patton Oswalt shared the news of his marriage, and he opened up about why he married less than two years after his wife unexpectedly passed away.

So I freaked out yesterday. Something that if my husband witnessed, he would refer to for many years to come as "an episode". I've had a few episodes in our twelve and a half years of marriage, and from time to time he likes to reference them in casual conversation--something I don't so much appreciate. Probably because it is my flesh at it's worse and I kind of pride myself on maintaining my cool in crisis situations, which is probably my first mistake. You see my mom has had some pretty serious health issues which has added a lot to my already full plate. It's been somewhat horrifying to confront the thoughts that run through my head as I get a glimpse of my future taking care of an aged parent sooner than I would have expected. She is going to be fine, but the truth of the matter is that I selfishly want her to be fine and independent forever--a reality that doesn't exist. She will get older and I will be the one to care for her. On top of that I have a husband that has struggled with chronic health issues for seven years, and when his debilitating symptoms rear their ugly head, I will occasionally have horrible thoughts of being alone and raising my four boys alone while the man I love more than anything wastes away in a chair.
Consequently, as those two very blaring realities collided while Lucas "the Freak" dog was being entirely too naughty and the 'to do' list juxtaposed to the ongoing bank balance crisis was spinning in my head, tears streaming down my face I sat in my car insulated by glass and a nice big garage-- and screamed. I mean I really lost it. I guess I was screaming at God. In that moment I very much wanted Jesus to appear on the hood of my car. I wanted physical contact with Him, to see what I envision as a sweet calm expression looking back at me. I wanted Him to grab me by the hand and gently lead me inside and heal all the brokenness. That of course did not happen so I continued on to the grocery store to pick up some prescriptions and a few ingredients for the cooking project I had planned on doing.
Now, I am not an ambitious cook. I like to cook and at one point, early in my marriage, I had a small obsession with Martha Stewart and Williams-Sonoma. That has faded as the number of my children has grown and the size of my expendable income has shrunk, but recently I have had my desire to create something more that fancier Macaroni & Cheese or a healthier chicken nugget grow. Mostly because I have been surrounded by people who truly love to cook. Not only do they love to cook but they love me and my family even though we are almost always in some sort of needy state that can't be fixed. This crazy conglomeration of humanity has poured themselves out onto my family in a way I could have never imagined.
So before the episode occurred yesterday morning I had planned on making Potato Knishes after being inspired by a friend who has a very cool food blog. You see, she and I both have husbands rooted in Judaism and she made some Matzo Ball soup to honor that side of her family, her post made me realize how much I miss good Jewish food. Living back East there is not a shortage of great Jewish Deli's and my mother-in-law is a great cook, but the Beehive State is somewhat lacking in this category of fine food.
I know this story is a little round about, but I do have a point and that point is that even though I had not recovered from my "episode" fully as I began to prepare these tasty little 'buns' filled with potatoes, as I peeled the potatoes, cooked the onions, kneaded the dough and prepared the egg wash I felt renewed. I pressed my frustration into that dough and imagined the ancestors of my husband and their suffering. I connected to, in real time, what I have been studying in Exodus. God calling His people, pulling them out of their suffering, not taking it away fully but still calling them His. Giving them His law and His way of doing things and allowing them to be apart of it regardless of their flesh, their episodes and their doubt. I was comforted by the promise that in my messed up, all to human state, that I too am called by Him. I made comfort food.
into my kitchen, that I could have poured him some $9 wine and served him a delicious Knish with gravy and cried. But instead my boys came home from school and gobbled them all up--a little to my surprise. Yesterday sucked on one level, I felt totally out of control, my mind went to dark places but my cries were heard and prayers were answered, stories for another day.

Resurrection Wonder
I wonder how it felt to see Jesus on that dusty road to Emmaus?
To say you knew Him when He walked among us?
To see Him whole and perfect standing on that road
I wonder about and envy, those who got to see
To hear His voice and see His face--the man from Galilee.
I wonder how it felt to see Jesus, to share some fish and wine with God?
To touch His hands and see His side and hear Him say those words.
They say, that even then, some did not believe.
Do you think He touched them gently and His love they did receive?
Did Mary weep and hug her friend knowing it was true?
That God did so love the world and chose to enter in,
To put on flesh and be betrayed because of our own sin.
I wonder if birds sang more beautiful than before?
If the sun shone brighter on that desert lakeside shore?
If hands did grasp and hearts did gasp as He called them all his friends.
Do you think they even thought about this New Kingdom lens?
I wonder how you respond to such amazing love?
To understand that God did leave his throne above,
To walk down that broken road and carry His own cross,
To die for you and pay the price so you would not be lost.
Does it make you want to love your neighbor and with those you don't agree?
I pray our eyes are open to those we do not see.
I pray that from our eyes all those scales would soon fall
Our hearts would change, our minds renewed---to give our love to all.

Allergies are one of the most common health conditions affecting children (age 0-17). And the number of children diagnosed with food allergies is steadily increasing – up 18% in the past decade.
Drew Bird, M.D., Director of the Food Allergy Center at Children's Health offers practical answers to common questions for parents like you.
Q: What is a food allergy vs. a food intolerance?
A: People with a food allergy have an immune system which reacts to certain proteins found in food. In most instances, a food allergy comes on suddenly and can be triggered by even just a small amount of food. A food intolerance does not involve the immune system, therefore, symptoms are generally less severe than a food allergy. Digestive problems are common complaints associated with a food intolerance. Lactose intolerance is a common example of a food intolerance.
Q: What are the most common food allergens?
A: These eight foods or food groups account for 90% of food-induced allergic reactions:
Tree nuts
Q: What are the symptoms?
A: Symptoms of food allergy include hives, vomiting, diarrhea, cough/difficulty breathing and swelling occurring within minutes to typically no more than two hours after ingestion of the allergenic food and occur reproducibly with repeat ingestion.
Q: How are food allergies diagnosed? When should your child see an allergist?
A: Your child's physician may diagnose a food allergy based on your son or daughter's medical history and/or blood tests. The doctor may also refer your child to an allergist for skin testing. Likewise, an allergist will take a thorough look at medical history, and will consider whether to conduct a blood test and/or perform a skin prick test, which identifies any food-specific antibodies in your child's body. Depending on the history and results of testing, if indicated, your allergist may want to perform an observed food challenge.
Q: Are food allergies lifelong or can you outgrow them?
A: Most food allergies are outgrown. However, whether a food allergy can be outgrown depends on the type of food. Peanut, tree nut, fish and shellfish allergies tend to be lifelong.
Q: How can food allergies be managed at home, a restaurant or school?
A: Most importantly, strict avoidance of the food allergen is necessary. At home, be sure to read ingredient labels and carefully prepare your child's food to avoid potential cross-contact with allergenic foods. When eating out, communicate your child's food allergies to the restaurant staff. Pack school lunches for your child, so he/she doesn't have to worry about ingesting danger foods. Talk with school staff members to ensure they are aware of your child's food allergy; how to help your child avoid certain foods; what to do if there is an allergic reaction; and, in case of an anaphylactic reaction, how to administer auto-injectable epinephrine to prevent the reaction from progressing.
Q: What are the most promising areas of research? Can food allergies be prevented?
A: The most advanced research studies are aimed at desensitizing the individual to the food allergen via increased exposure to the allergen orally (oral immunotherapy), under the tongue (sublingual immunotherapy), or through the skin (epicutaneous immunotherapy). All methods are currently being investigated in clinical trials. Additionally, new research shows that early introduction of allergens like peanut may prevent peanut allergy.

Welcome to Month by Month:

Grocery Budgeting
Action Plan:
1. Shop once a month at an Aldis or Save A Lot store to stock up on ALL things except...meat, milk, eggs, and fresh fruit and veggies and maybe the occassional bag of chips! LOL. Also not included will be laundry detergent, shampoo, paper products etc...more about those later. Once a month shopping budget $200.oo
2. Weekly: Go to which ever local store has the best weekly sales for above mentioned food products...with a weekly total of no more than $100.00 I actually would like to shoot for $75.00 because the other $25.00 can be used for paper products, laundry detergent etc...bought once a month at Walmart. This however will take some time to fine tune and see what is what!
So if this calculates out:
$200.00 once a month at a discount food place
$75.00 once a week at regular grocery store = $300 for the month
$100.00 once a month at Walmart or other store for laundry detergent, shampoo, paper products etc.
So that drops my monthly bill from $800.00 to $600...a savings of 25%
I am thinking I might even be able to do a little better over time but this is a work in process so there are a lot of unknowns and tracking to do for it to work. My husband is working with me on "the plan" and so getting those monthly menus in place are even more important than ever! I'll be back later to give you my menu plans for July.

This is such a struggle for our family as well! Right now I am using a combination of shopping at Aldi and couponing to save on groceries. For the time being I continue to use Sam's Club for paper products, dog food, diapers and wipes.
For two adults and 1 toddler we are budgeting $62 a week. Food, cleaning supplies and personal care items all come out of this total. I also budget up to $50 a month for paper goods and a $20 bag of dog food lasts a month although I may buy 2-3 bags at a time to save a trip (and gas!).
We also take a trip to a local butcher shop once every few months and buy about $100 worth of meat. We get a great price and this lets us keep the budget so low the rest of the time.
I still go over some now and then, it is still a challenge, but we are working hard at at. We are trying to eat healthy too - which is hard to do on a budget!

How To Stop Mushrooms from Growing
Mushrooms may be fine on the dinner table, but when small and inedible wild mushrooms start growing in your lawn, it can be quite disgusting. If you want to prevent mushrooms from growing in your house or in the lawn, here are some steps that you need to follow.
Dry. First of all, you need to make sure that your house is as dry as possible. Remember, a mushroom is a type of fungus that needs very few things in order to survive. One of the things that it does need in order to live, however, is some water. If a place is moist and not enough sunlight gets into the area, fungi and mushrooms can begin to grow. By keeping your house dry at all times, you should be able to prevent mushrooms from growing. This can, however, be a bit difficult when talking about your yard, which you probably need to keep, watered to keep the grass alive.
Cut. Next, make sure that you cut down some of the larger tree branches that obstruct sunlight from getting to your lawn. Apart from moisture, mushrooms thrive in places that have plenty of shade. By making sure that you remove the excessive branches in the trees in your backyard, you should be able to prevent mushrooms from growing near the trunk, or in the shade of the tree. The next time you consider planting trees in your backyard, also try choosing trees that grow tall, but which do not have branches that spread out too much.
Clean. Also make sure that you clean your surroundings regularly. If there are cans or containers lying around where water can collect, make sure that you dispose of these items or that you cover them. This way, mushrooms will not grow inside of these old and dirty cans. Also make sure that you remove dead plants and rotting wood from your yard. These contain nitrates that mushrooms love. After you have finished mowing your lawn, also be sure to collect the cut leaves so that they will not become fodder for mushrooms.
Fungicide. If cleaning, cutting, and keeping your surroundings dry is not enough to prevent mushrooms from growing around your house, you should consider using fungicide. As much as possible, the use of fungicide should only be a last resort. After all, fungicide can disrupt the beneficial microorganisms that are living in the soil. When you use fungicide, be sure to read the instructions and labels well, and make sure that you apply the fungicide only in areas where you have seen mushrooms grow. These fungicide are usually available in hardware shops.
Lime. Finally, you can also consider adding some lime in your soil. Lime is much friendlier on the soil compared to fungicide, and will only work to reduce the acidity in the soil. Because mushrooms usually grow best in soil that is fairly acidic, adding a little bit of lime in the soil may help to eradicate mushrooms.
With these easy steps, you should be able to easily prevent mushrooms from growing, and kill the mushrooms that are already in your house.

Former WSU CB Treshon Broughton Tased, Arrested After Counterfeit Cash IncidentApril 6, 2017
Former Washington State cornerback Treshon Broughton was arrested in Pullman, Washington, on Feb. 18 after attempting to use counterfeit cash at a liquor store.
According to Chad Sokol of the Spokesman-Review, Broughton was tased and subdued by police after becoming confrontational with employees and allegedly resisting arrest.
Per Sokol, the arrest report stated that Broughton attempted to use a fake $20 bill in order to buy a lighter, which prompted the argument with employees.
Once an officer arrived on the scene, Broughton reportedly resisted attempts to be restrained with handcuffs. The report went on to state a second officer arrived on the scene and ordered Broughton to comply.
After further attempts to restrain him, Broughton allegedly grappled with officers after being taken to the ground, which resulted in the use of a taser after a warning.
He was also reportedly uncooperative in his holding cell, which resulted in police placing him in a restraint chair.
Broughton spent two seasons at Washington State after a stint in junior college. In 2016 as a senior, he registered 17 tackles and one interception.
The California native was charged with resisting arrest and obstructing a law enforcement officer. He has since been arraigned and released from jail.
