News April 14-15.Indd STEM: future focus of district By Eishna Ranganathan News Editor After examining which subjects have the largest prospective career fi elds, the Neshaminy School District is attempting to emphasize STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Math – at all levels, elementary, middle and high school, via various upcoming programs and curriculum maps for the summer and during 2015-16 school year. “We are trying to better prepare students for success in a global, technological world; with an increase in hands-on activity, more students will gravitate toward the lessons, focusing on inquiry rather than recall, and active rather than passive learning,” Matt Thompson, science dept. chairperson said. The newest upcoming change, a STEM expo, will occur on May 28 in which younger students will have the opportunity to display their scientific projects in robotics, food science, computer design and the like. Middle schoolers will compete in an engineering- based challenge in experimental design. POSSIBLE MASCOT CHANGE- Should the school district not comply with the terms of adjustment, the Pa.

They (whoare they?) teach you to write in arguments, to state your claim, to confine yourself to that eight-page essay — but they don’t tell you how to put yourself on the page. And nobody tells you how difficult, gut-wrenching, and exhausting it will be. That’s exactly what this whole process has been— difficult, gut-wrenching, exhausting beyond belief. No one could anticipate how much this extended process of emotional and theoretical digging would reveal about our identities, how important this catharsis would be, or how friggin’ hard! We want to put our heads down just writing this. But we wrote — and drew, and photoshopped, and edited — these pieces because it is hard, because we know that understanding the media is key not only to understanding society, but to changing it as well.

He gets the job done and at the end of the day, as bloody and philandering and as it may be, he returns home to be the rock of his family. Only instead of working for the mob, Ray Donovan works for attorneys. Ray (played by Liev Schreiber) does the dirty work beyond the sensibilities of two nebbish partners, Ezra Goodman (played by Elliott Gould) and Lee Drexler (played by Peter Jacobson) dispatch him as “fixer” while staying behind at their lavish office or by the pool. While Ray makes his living by excising a price for his fixing, the money is nothing close to that made off of his deeds by the partners while shrouding themselves in ignorance.
