A friend of mine has a son with learning disabilities. He went to a special high school and once he graduated he went to a college that has special programs for kids like him. No uniform, though. I don't know the name, I just remember it is in Florida. But there were several schools they looked at. I would think a high school guidance counselor could help you, or even a local organization that helps parents advocate for their kids. Why does it need to have uniforms? If that is really important I think you will be greatly limiting your choices.

...is tomorrow. I'm so excited! I'll be there when they open at 8:00 for the best selection.

Vap, I totally hate abbreviation. I meant SDLM as Souvenir de la Malmaison. Oops I always wanted to get that rose for myself and also a Damask rose. Flowers, I am not getting Climbers Bec I don't have the experience yet besides I am leaving that for the garden teacher. She can make those shots , school principal and IB director. Jeri, I was in my rose society months ago and the talk was about. yellow flowers forgot the name which plays a huge roll in lots of roses. Queen Elizabeth is made from so many roses the data is unbelievable. I wish I had that chart. It is amazing how many roses are involved. What a beauty :) Vestfl and Sheila, I totally thank you. I was shocked and surprised also. My son did painting in school hallway but was not credited Bec it has to be at least a month long. He volunteer to tutoring kids on maths and Bio. And also blood bank. He has many hours which are credited but not a project which was change this year. So most kids got 7 months to do this before graduating and Bec they are in IB program they get one month off early from any students. I am spending this money and I hope the teachers and Administration will fall in love and look after. I will be involved but for a yr or 2 . I hope younger kids will get the interested. The pic with a tree is where the main campus is at. All the plots in front ate filled up except the corner one. Perma, you are awesome. I wish you all the best. I will check the book. Thanks and I know Green Thumbs Club will succeed very well under your care. You are right, the school had soooo much space. It is unbelievable. Melissa, that was my concern also. That's why I wanted old roses that will grow in condition that they actually fall under. They are tough little guys. I am looking at our weather. It is so hot and humid and rains a lot. Looking for disease resistant actually. Maggie is one of my collections for sure. I have that rose and it is clean with no BS. I am also going to ask my rose society for further guidance. One of them has a cutting of Bermuda Anna Oliver which is over 8 ft tall. I am writing an email this afternoon to Dr. Malcolm for suggestions and recommendations. It is no spray organic garden Bec I don't have that kind of funds. I am getting some on fortuniana like from Nelson's and drive to Rose Petals. I am trying to save shipping cost if possible. I am worried about the young tree. It looks like a maple tree to me which means it is going to grow huge. I heard it is also on sprinklers system . So, I have work cut out for me . These kids have no clue but I am worried Bec I want this to grow well. I can get horse manure from my co worker. Her neighbor has 8 horses. I need some for myself. But I need help in selection with stories and history behind which is great but not necessarily. First ground work then ordering. I will take pics of kids involved working . Hope the roses stay there and blooms :) Now, I have to get in touch with Malcolm Manners. Thank you so much. jin

The woman who called me about our HS reunion (2019) agreed that what we really wanted was a reunion with our grammar school classmates. There were only enough of us 'barely pre-war models' (maybe 30?) to have one morning and one afternoon Kindergarten class. From first through sixth grade there were two classes of our grade level in that building. Soon the school had to be enlarged to start accomodating the post-war baby boomers. My group was combined with another to attend 7 - 8 in a third building in our town. Then we were engulfed, with over 900 kids in my class at a township HS. The school was on double shifts by our junior year, when the taxpayers belatedly started construction of a second building. That opened the year after we graduated. The township soon had four high school buildings in three different suburban municipalities; the result of *over-building*. Now there are three HS buildings in the township.
