Text SAFE BERKS to 20121 A Message from our CEO I am profoundly grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve the Berks community at Safe Berks for the past 15 years. I have been incredibly fortunate to lead an agency that has the capacity to both provide safety to countless in need and to lead transformative change. During my time here, I have tried to follow the words of St. Francis of Assisi in both my personal and professional life. St. Francis calls us to “start by doing what is necessary, then what is possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” It is my fervent hope that I have done and will continue to do just that. I started by doing what was necessary to serve, to feel, to risk, and to grow. Then, collectively, we did what was possible. We embarked on our first ever Capital Campaign to raise in excess of $4.5 million to construct a lasting Safe Berks Center. Our Center has become a sanctuary for those impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault as they seek safety, healing and peace. Finally, I believe at Safe Berks, we are now doing the impossible, creating a Berks County free of domestic violence and sexual assault. That work will continue and will ultimately lead to a time where our community is one of safety and peace. We continue to enhance the services we offer. In this report, you will read about our new programs. These include our new Economic Sustainability Advocate, who helps clients rebuild their lives after surviving financial abuse. We now offer free education focusing on economic sustainability, budgeting, and credit repair. The Safe Berks Medical Advocacy Partnership Program (MAPP) greatly expanded in 2019. The MAPP program connects Safe Berks advocates with victims of domestic violence and sexual assault in local hospitals and health centers. Safe Berks now employs three full-time MAPP Advocates. Like many people, I have both been blessed and challenged. But the support and love that I and my family have received from this community has made us forever grateful. I leave you with one more word of hope from St. Francis, “All the darkness of the world cannot extinguish the light of a single candle.” I hope to continue to be part of that light. Thank you for your support and your dedication to creating a truly Safe Berks. Chief Executive Officer SAFE Berks • ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2019 1 Medical Advocacy Partnership Program (MAPP) Expands The Medical Advocacy Partnership Program (MAPP) connects Safe Berks advocates with victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking in local hospitals and health centers. While Safe Berks has been providing advocate response to the hospitals for many years, in 2019 the initiative greatly expanded. Safe Berks now employs three full-time MAPP Advocates, who are integrated into Tower Health/ Reading Hospital, Penn State Health St. Joseph, and Berks Community Health Center. Safe Berks MAPP Advocates provide direct, compassionate services to victims, they help connect victims to Safe Berks and other community resources, and they deliver training to medical staff on topics related to domestic violence and sexual assault. In addition, Safe Berks advocates are available to respond in person to victims at local hospitals 24 hours a day via our hotline, 844-789-SAFE, or text SAFE BERKS to 20121. The MAPP program is guided by the Healthcare Advisory Committee, which includes professionals from healthcare agencies, community and education organizations, and Safe Berks. These organizations share a common vision, that victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and human trafficking will receive the same excellent care, no matter which facility they visit. The Committee has identified a screening tool to aid in identifying victims. After this tool is piloted and finetuned, local medical staff will be trained in its use. The goal is for every medical professional in Berks County to screen every patient the same way during every visit. “The MAPP Advocates are dedicated to providing expert care to victims of domestic and sexual violence,” said Beth Garrigan, who serves as Chief Operating Officer at Safe Berks and supervises the program. “They are also passionate about providing crucial training and technical assistance to medical staff. We are grateful to all the professionals who serve on the Healthcare Advisory Committee, for opening doors and creating the synergy that is helping to make this life-saving program a reality.” 2 SAFE Berks • ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2019 Services Legal Services Medical Advocacy Partnership Program (MAPP) Safe Berks services are free, confidential, and available in • Come with you to police interviews and • Provide specialized education to healthcare criminal hearings settings English and Spanish. • Assist with filing PFA, SVPO, and PFI • Provide immediate response to MAPP • Legal Representation may be available for calls at three facilities Final Hearings of PFA/ SVPO/ PFI • Children Alliance Center Advocate Toll Free Hotline: • Higher Education Campus Advocate Hotline/ Textline 844-789-SAFE (7233) • Sexual Assault Response Team Coordinator or • Hotline numbers are available Text SAFE BERKS to 20121 24 hours a day/365 days a year in Housing/ Shelter Available 24/7/365 English and Spanish • Safe House • Bridge Housing Education • Housing Advocacy www.SafeBerks.org • Primary Prevention through education 610-373-1206 Counseling Services • Healthy Relationship Workshop [email protected] • Community Awareness Events • Camp Safe Berks • Free and Confidential • Bilingual in English and Spanish Follow Safe Berks • Trauma- Informed • DBT- guided support groups for adults and teens • Photovoice Project • Economic Sustainability Program SAFE Berks • ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2019 3 2017/2018 Operating Revenue & Expenditures 2017-2018 Revenue OPERATING REVENUE Federal Grants 1,375,388 50% State Grants and Local Grants 539,286 20% Other, Foundations 57,806 2% United Way 183,931 7% Other income 42,898 1% Contributions 548,225 20% TOTAL 2,747,534 2017-2018 Expenditures OPERATING EXPENSES Safe House 1,104,135 36% Counseling 215,322 7% Legal 457,838 16% Transitional 66,099 2% Community Education 195,314 6% General and Admin 953,537 31% Fundraising 47,371 2% TOTAL 3,057,616 4 SAFE Berks • ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2019 2018/2019 Operating Revenue & Expenditures 2018-2019 Revenue OPERATING REVENUE Federal Grants 1,578,845 57% State Grants and Local Grants 541,527 20% Other, Foundations 43,000 2% United Way 188,931 6% Other income 45,900 2% Contributions 365,159 13% TOTAL 2,763,362 OPERATING EXPENSES 2018-2019 Expenditures Safe House 1,170,996 34% Counseling 171,645 5% Legal 554,646 16% Transitional 64,407 2% Community Education 228,500 7% General and Admin 1,139,711 33% Fundraising 85,942 3% TOTAL 3,415,847 SAFE Berks • ANNUAL REPORT 2017-2019 5 DECEMBER 2017 FEBRUARY 2018 APRIL 2018 JUNE 2018 JULY 2018 Julia H.

Chart Throb Ben Elton Chart Throb Ben Elton Ben Elton is about to put the “real” back into Reality TV in his biting satire of one of today’s most popular cultural phenomena — the TV talent show. 95,000 hopefuls. Three judges. Just one winner. And that’s Colin Simms, the genius behind the show. Colin always wins, because Colin writes the rules. But this year, as he sits smugly in judgment on the mingers, clingers and blingers whom he has pre-selected in his carefully scripted “search” for a star, he has no idea that the rules are changing. The “real” is about to be put back into “reality” television, and Colin and his fellow judges (the nation’s favourite mum and the other bloke) are about to become ex-factors themselves. From the best-selling author of The First Casualty, Popcorn, and Dead Famous comes Chart Throb. One winner. A whole bunch of losers. From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • 2021-22 Grades K-5 Student Handbook Usd
    2021-22 GRADES K-5 STUDENT HANDBOOK USD 473 Blue Ridge Elementary, Chapman Elementary, Enterprise Elementary & Rural Center Elementary INTRODUCTION Welcome to Unified School District 473 for the 2021-22 school year. Each year brings with it high expectations that we all must strive to our utmost to achieve. In order for each child to have a successful learning experience, we suggest that you take the time to learn, and make a sincere effort to follow the guidelines set forth in this handbook. Get involved in your school’s activities, study hard, and prepare to have a great year. Remember that your success during this school year will depend on how much effort you put into each day. Within this handbook is information about rules, policies, academic requirements, and student privileges and responsibilities. It is impossible to anticipate every situation within this handbook, and the administration certainly reserves the right to announce and initiate policies throughout the year to meet unanticipated situations. Acknowledgement of Receipt of Handbook MUST BE SIGNED DURING ONLINE ENROLLMENT OR TURNED INTO YOUR BUILDING PRINCIPAL. Parent involvement is the most important variable in the development of a child. Parents can enhance that development by being positive, by showing interest in the child’s school activities, by listening, by building on previous experiences, by encouraging and expecting high performance in school work and other responsibilities. Parents should praise for successes, no matter how small they may be, read books, magazines, and newspapers in the home, provide proper nutrition and rest, and set a good example by supporting the efforts of the school.

  • Monstres ! the Origin Script
    MONSTRES ! THE ORIGIN Written by Julien Blaecke 67, rue Lemoyne Repentigny QUEBEC, CANADA J6A 3L6 (450) 721-3168 WGA # 1397574 Fade up on : “Monstres !” The origin A WEIRD NOISE is produced. Some kind of mix between a roar and an airplane landing. INT. AN AIRPORT – NIGHT. A huge crowd of travellers is coming toward us. They're all going to the customs service. Appeared as a wind has just blown the inscription : “Kennedy airport – 12/12/2001” In the same way it fades. The angle slowly closes up on a guy. He's all dressed in black, wearing dark sunglasses, holding a huge black luggage. He's in his 20's. He's JULIEN KEB-CALE and above all he's got that stupid “famous way to walk”. Julien Keb-Cale puts his luggage on the counter in front of the customs officer. Big smile on his face ! Big “notorious attitude” ! THE OFFICER (OFFICIAL TONE) (pointing at the sunglasses) If you are notorious, too bad cause I don't know you. Despite the fact I hate notorious people, it's not working cause I don't know you ! It could be the sun or, I would say, too sunny ! But then we're inside. No sun, no clouds, no weather ! It could be a disease, but then I’m the officer who gives orders and don't give a shit about glance disorder... so ? Julien Keb-Cale removes his sunglasses. Still the big smile enlightening his face. He's standing proudly and seems somehow waiting for something to happen. Definitely the “too much attitude”.
