I think they could build on a second level to Mary's Spring House and connect that to the top floor of Hannah's and they could have a decent sized building with great views of the lower city - especially Midtown

I applied again this year, so you can see why I am a little ticked that this website beat mine out.

Ok I am not one to usually vocalize on stuff like this because it makes me look like a sore loser but they just recently announced the media award winners for MSTA this year and I cannot get over the site that won "Classroom Website of the Year"

It is extremely primitive, hard to navigate and honestly looks like it was made on Front Page.

Seriously am I missing something here?
Oh and in case you don't know already here is my classroom's website

You could put it in the upstairs of the mine.
OR I say build another building next to the Culinary Art School and have it there.

PS: The "Cowboy Santa Claus" in the country artists congrats video was Charlie Daniels.

I know who he is.  I just thought it would be funnier to label him as that.

I'm kinda curious--is Timber Tower very popular at DW? Do you think SDC will ever get something similar?

There's a reason that there are only 3 of these rides in the world, and it's not the cost.
They're maintenance nightmares.  Timberrr Tower has had a lot of downtime since it was first built.  It's been better lately, but it has sufferered A LOT of downtime in its short life.

Really?  Must not be overly common because I post on many boards and that's the first time I've ever heard of that -- course most people that post on boards are not married so that might be it.

Yep, they'll say they hate it, but deep down inside they love it because it makes them feel safe -- and most of the kids do not get that at home.

DH and I got to the park before opening on Friday.

Who's that?  Sort of confusing since those are my initials and it sure wasn't me.

PBS and RtI are swear words in my book.  Just the latest "phase/buzz words" in Missouri education.  Not a chance in hell it will work in our district as it would mean certain staff members would have to be accountable for discipline. Some staff members are so worried about being "popular" with the students they are afraid to even turn them in when they catch them doing something wrong because then the kid might not "like them" -- WTF cares!  I'm one of the meanest "by the books" teachers at our school and I'm still "popular" and I don't even care if I am or not.  LOL

We have 12 -- but that is rather misleading because the band will be gone for a couple of those days.  Tomorrow we travel to Pella, Iowa for a HUGE marching competition.  I love going up there and competing agaisnt the Iowa bands because marching band is a major sport up there and for some odd reason we are one of only 2 bands in NE Missouri that takes marching band extremely serious.  (we have NO competition in NEMO).

We're headed to the KC St. Patrick's Day Parade next year (2011) and then the Liberty Bowl Parade/Half time in 2012.  Not bad for a small 1A band in NEMO that is a "suburb" of the county seat

As far as the river area I have rarely seen all the seats in the BBQ picnic area filled, they can also move this back to increase the walkway.

One thing to note on the Rib House dining patios is that there are two.  There is one that is directly on the Lost River and then there is the one near the TGS pathway.  Neither of the two patios are connected (not sure why, but that is the case).  The west patio (near TGS pathway) is only used if the west serving line is open.  The east serving line (near Lost River) is always the first to open and thus is always full.  I have seen countless times where the east patio is completely full and people cannot find a place to sit down and eat.  If they could connect the two patios, that would alleviate a lot of those problems and the western patio would be used more often.
