The Society for the Promotion of Good Grammar and MSN Encarta have designated March 4 as National Grammar Day. Visit www.spogg.org for more info. Parents, this is for you to enjoy so you can be an excellent example for the children in your life.
"How can I participate? Speak well! Write well! And on March 4, march forth and spread the word. We want people to think about language and how it can be used best.Some of our members are planning Good-Grammar Potlucks at their offices.What do you serve at good-grammar potlucks? High-fiber foods, of course. They're good for the colon. Afterward, at happy hour, we recommend the Grammartini. (Recipes are on the site.) We put together a Bad Grammar Hall of Fame Playlist, full of songs we love despite their bad grammar. You'll find it at the bottom of this page. We've also produced a special National Grammar Day T-shirt so you can proclaim your love of language for all to see."At last - a holiday that "speaks to me!"

Discovering Careers event for local students
Join the SCV School & Business Alliance and their Title Sponsor, Boston Scientific Neuromodulation on Saturday, April 25th, 2009, 9:00am to 1:00pm, at College of the Canyons, for Discovering Careers 2009!
For the second year in a row, the SCV School and Business Alliance, the California CommunityColleges Chancellor's Office, College of the Canyons, and the William S. Hart Union High School District will be hosting "Discovering Careers," a free career exploration fair for SCV students ages 5 to 20 and their families.
Discovering Careers is not a job fair. It is a unique career expo that gives SCV kids a chance to "explore" various occupations and industries. Local businesses provide industry-related demonstrations to provide insight into the world of careers. Best of all, the fair is free of charge to participating employers, students, and parents.
Last year over 2,000 students ages 5 to 20 and their parents participated in this great event!
For additional information visit our Discovering Careers website www.hartdistrict.org/discover, or call the SCV School & Business Alliance at (661) 753-5740, Ext. 230 or 776.
