Naturally Speaking

Now is not a good time to pick out a Christmas tree. There are too many yellow leaves. Evergreen trees, like deciduous trees, lose their leaves, except evergreens drop some of their older leaves and retain the younger ones for a year or longer.

October is National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month

At one point or another, we’ve all used prescription drugs or over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to alleviate an illness — whether it’s to relieve pain or curb a cough.
Unfortunately, too many teens are abusing these drugs for a quick high. In response to our country’s medicine abuse epidemic, the Belleville Area Cares Coalition is promoting National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month.
Nationally, prescription drugs are the second most abused category of drugs after marijuana, with one in five young adults reporting that they have abused a prescription drug.

Building Engineering and Technical Education Strong Focus at Belleville School District

Through communication with our families, we learned that they want to see the School District of Belleville put a stronger emphasis on engineering and the trades, and we listened.
As many of you know, the high school became a STEM school this year. Our Project Lead the Way instructor, Ed Neumann, has a vision for the program and has already put us on a path to success.
Mr. Neumann teaches in a way that allows students to discover, engage, and achieve in the trades.
