The Little Miami school board voted recently to place a 1 percent earned income tax on the November ballot. Click here to read what the district has already done to prepare for what the district calls “financial challenges” that lay ahead.

Mother’s Day is Sunday, May 11. I found some fun Mother’s Day “facts” on wikipedia.org, including some of the holidays ancestors: • “Mothering Sunday” in the UK and Ireland is on the fourth Sunday of Lent. It was originally a time when Catholics were supposed to travel to attend Mass in their “Mother Church” (the regional cathedral) rather than in their local parish. By the Reformation, it had changed into an occasion for children to visit parents. • “Mother’s Day Work Clubs” organized by Anna Jarvis’s mother, Ann Maria Reeves Jarvis to improve sanitation and health in the area. • The “Mother’s Day” anti-war observances founded by Julia Ward Howe in 1872. What we now know as Mother’s Day orginated from the efforts of Anna Jarvis, who wanted to honor her mother, Ann, who was active in Mother’s Day campaigns for peace and worker’s safety and health since the end of American Civil War.
Tomorrow, May 9, Help Me Grow and the Warren County Career Center are teaming up to offer a “Mom’s Morning Out” for the Help Me Grow moms from 8:30-10:30 a.m. in the preschool classrooms at the Career Center. Students from the Early Intervention classes will be providing childcare for the kids.

In an effort to help students remember what they learned over the past school year, Wayne Local Schools is holding a summer book swap all this week. According to the district newsletter, research has shown that over a 6-year period, cumulative summertime lag can leave a student nearly two years behind in reading achievement skills. Students can donate their books by bringing them to school. Other books can be donated by contacting Krista Muterspaw of the Waynesville Literacy Team.
