Hi all! I just got home from work a bit ago and have been reading for just a bit and I wanted send my prayers out to Jessica and her loved ones. This is such a sad situation for Jessica's family and for the community. I was so hoping that it wasn't her body they found. I've been reading about some excellent ideas of what parents and the community can do about getting the kids to and from school safely. Here in my community the schools have after school programs where the kids stay at the school until an adult picks them up and its free. They even have staff that sticks around to help kids with their homework if they need it and they have lots of activities for the kids. All the elementary and junior high schools here have a program and it is sponsored by the YMCA. When I was a kid our churches had activities for the kids every night with adult supervision. My mom is in assisted living and they have groups of school kids that come in and do activities with the seniors a couple of time a week after school and on days the kids are off for in service days and they always have adult supervision. Not only do the kids love it but the seniors love interacting with the kids. Its kind of like adopt a grandparent. Prayer's for Jessica and her loved ones.
