by Ron Turowski It's April and it's snowing in Washington DC, the East coast is gripped in a cold snap, California is undergoing drought conditions, and to make matters worse, every month I am faced with rising utility bills and gasoline prices. Meanwhile my kids had been talking to me about conservation, and so when we as a family decided to become more eco-friendly, we were surprised by a

Schools are generally much more densely populated than commercial office spaces, with children who are notorious for creating mess. Cleaning products are vital in keeping your school clean and healthy, however they can vary greatly in acute toxicity and biodegradability.

“One dark night, when people were in bed, Mrs. O’Leary lit a lantern in her shed, The cow kicked it over, winked its eye and said, There’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight.”  Historians agree that on Sunday evening, October 8, 1871 a fire did indeed start in the O’Leary barn on Chicago’s west side, the cause of the blaze however, is a little unclear. The blaze ironically spared the O’Leary

by Alanna McKenna When I first started teaching high school in the inner city of Chicago, the last issues I expected to encounter were those of health and hygiene. Certainly, I expected to be dealing with academic and social matters however, it wasn't’t long before I found myself facing and addressing issues of health and hygiene with many of my students. Teachers often take for granted the

Title 1 money, which is designed to help the disadvantaged students succeed along with their peers, can be an advantage to all the students in your school.

December through March is peak Flu season and so now is the time to teach healthy habits that kids can take with them into adulthood, habits that will lessen the spread of germs that cause colds and flu.

by Mary Ann Kahl, EdD If we are striving for fully realized beings that are also capable of contributing to the democratic process and to a healthy economy than we must provide ways for our students to reach the goal of self-actualization as defined by The Hierarchy of Human Needs.  In order for this to occur we must look at providing them with the means to help them satisfy other levels of
