It's sad that it's 2 weeks later, and this armed robbery on public high school property is the first I'm hearing about it. It should have been news the day it happened. Our community children go to this school, and regardless of whether or not this was a school day or not (day before Thanksgiving), it sickens me to think that this even occurred in our community. Please keep us updated as to whether this thug was caught.

Believe me, If it had happened at WJ, BCC, or Churchill High School, it would have been on that nights news, and every parent would have been notified.

I found out through a neighbor that this took place,or I would have never known. This is so wrong I have a handicap sister that walks one of my dogs during the day.How sad that now she cannot have this pleasure of going for a walk in broad daylight around the fields of Einstein.

Thanks for the memories of our favorite park, Hershey Park in Hershey, PA. The old wooden rollerRead More coaster was also our very favorite.There was also another favorite, much tamer Love Boat ride that went through a dark tunnel and then went up an incline and you got wet at the end of the ride. Visiting the Hershey Chocolate Factory was also a must on our trip to Hershey. We grew up in nearby York, PA.

Oooh, that Love Boat ride sounds really fun! We didn't see that one. We definitely had quite anRead More experience there!

Going to Hershey Park had been a yearly event when we took our own three children to Hershey Park.Read More They loved it there,too. All three of our children are now married and have taken their children to Hershey Park. We have also been to Hershey, PA to the famous Hershey Car Show, where we purchased a 1994 Chrysler LeBaron convertible. I enjoyed reading your article.

Cori, you have no idea how much this helps. I just found out some of the details about the Geo BowlRead More and it sounds like a much better situation for my kiddo than I was originally imagining. I'm going to reach out to the team tonight. I imagine that they will be receptive to my worries. I'm hoping that all of the worst case scenarios are in my head and only in my head, which is probably likely. :) Maybe I'll see you at the Geo Bowl!

Priming is key. You can also show him video on similar bowls. Pretend at home with family afterRead More finding out more or less how it will go the day of event. Encourage and prime/prep. How wonderful that he has come so far!

Great tips! And actually, thank you very much for the reminder that he has come really far. You'reRead More so right. And I'm so proud of him!

Yes and yes to everything you say here. The reality of parenthood is simultaneously far far worseRead More and far far better than the fantasy could possibly be. The truth about living with multiple pairs of giant stinky man shoes should be enough to make most of us think twice about filling our houses with male offspring. And when did I sign up to help a hormonal 15 yr old write an impossible essay on a book he's not yet read, due in 3 days? It's lucky we love them so much is all I can say.
