rSpeaks:
Ruff to
all my
young
friends.
School has
started again
and it s time
ffor parents
and
community
members to
be especially
careful while
driving
before and
after school
hours. Some
of the
youngster's don't always look
before they cross the street.
Talk to your children about
personal safety.
Speaking of school, my
friend, Attendance Officer
Mariam Tias reminds those that
like to skip school to beware of
her presence. She has other
officers on a watchful eye for
those who are suppose to be in
school. Stay in school and learn
as much as you possibly can.
