Summer Reading Reminders Dear Parents, I Wanted to Send a Reminder That the Students Should Continue Reading 30 Minutes Per Night Over the Summer Summer Reading Reminders Dear Parents, I wanted to send a reminder that the students should continue reading 30 minutes per night over the summer. Please make sure that your child is reading a book on his/her reading level. A list of books organized by level has been attached for your reference. Children who read a book on their level multiple times a week will not only become more confident readers, but will also have an easier time generalizing the skills taught in the classroom. Reading Level: ________________ In addition to summer reading, students also have access to Kidbiz over the summer. This is a great way to review comprehension skills that have been taught over the year. Kidbiz Login Name: ____________ Password: ______________ If you have any additional questions about summer reading or Kidbiz, please feel free to reach out! Thank you for your help and continued support. Have a restful summer vacation!

  • Interim Report 2009
    TVNZ Interim Report FY2009 CONTENTS CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION........................................................3 CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S OVERVIEW........................................................4 INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS...................................................6 DIRECT GOVERNMENT FUNDING.................................................14 CHARTER PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT ...................................16 TVNZ BOARD AND MANAGEMENT DIRECTORY..........................23 2 TVNZ Interim Report FY2009 CHAIRMAN’S INTRODUCTION TVNZ has achieved a satisfactory result for the first six months of the 2009 financial year, reporting earnings (before interest, tax and financial instruments) of $27.7 million compared to $32.3 million in the same period the previous year. The after tax profit of $18.2 million for the period compares with $20.6 million for the prior period. While this is a pleasing result in the circumstances the impact of the global economic downturn is already apparent and, like all other businesses in 2009, TVNZ will face significant constraints due to worsening conditions. We expect the remainder of the fiscal year to be tough, and are prepared for this to continue into the 2010 year. Sir John Anderson Chairman 3 TVNZ Interim Report FY2009 CHIEF EXECUTIVE’S OVERVIEW Two years ago TVNZ began the hard work of turning the organisation into a contemporary, streamlined and efficient digital media company with a long term future – rather than a simple television broadcaster. The result of this effort became visible at the end of the last financial year, when the company worked its way back into the black, with a return on shareholders equity that was better than most SOEs and Crown-owned Companies as well as many publicly listed companies. The current half-year result is a validation of that approach.

  • Elevator Repair Service
    ELEVATOR REPAIR SERVICE ABRONS ARTS CENTER A CONVERSATION BETWEEN JOHN COLLINS AND KATE SCELSA Kate Scelsa: So, John! John Collins: Kate, you’ve worked as a company member with ERS for about sixteen years now…And it turns out that you were doing stealth research for all these years on what would be perfect parts to write for some of our actors. KS: This is going to sound very sentimental, but writing this play has really felt like a love letter to this company. So it’s that, combined with my very deep love for Edward Albee’s play and specifically for the character of Martha. JC: And it’s exciting for me because I’m getting to work with one of my favorite novelists, who wrote one of my favorite books of the past couple of years. KS: Thank you for that plug. JC: It also fits in really nicely with the shows you’ve worked on with us, taking another work of great American literature as a jumping off point. And looking at the parts you’ve played in ERS shows, there have been a lot of Marthas in your life. KS: I’ve always been very interested in whether or not embodying that kind of female rage could be seen as sympathetic. Even powerful. Or if those women just become the shrew. Which means their rage can be dismissed. JC: Well you take Martha, who’s an extreme character… KS: She doesn’t care what anyone thinks of her. But what are the consequences of that attitude? For most of Albee’s play we see Martha as this incredible feminist character, in that she and her husband are on equal footing, and that’s what makes it so fascinating to watch, and fun to play.

  • Barron's Book Notes Edward Albee's Who's Afraid Of
    BARRON'S BOOK NOTES EDWARD ALBEE'S WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF? ^^^^^^^^^^EDWARD ALBEE: THE AUTHOR AND HIS TIMES In 1962 the United States was enjoying what many now consider a period of innoce nce. John F. Kennedy, the youngest man ever elected President, was in office, re vitalizing a country some observers considered passive and complacent when he wa s inaugurated in 1961. Relative peace reigned in most of the world, and in the U nited States traditional values appeared unshakable. Hardly anyone would have pr edicted the great turmoil the country was about to undergo--the Vietnam War; the assassinations of President Kennedy, Senator Robert F. Kennedy, and Reverend Ma rtin Luther King, Jr.; and the scandal of Watergate that led to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon in 1974. Yet, if the surface was tranquil in 1962, there was nonetheless considerable agi tation underneath. American relations with the Soviet Union were often extremely tense in the early 1960s, resulting in confrontations over Berlin and Cuba. In the United States, attempts by blacks to end racial discrimination not infrequen tly were countered by violence by whites. And a number of influential writers we re questioning the American values that seemed so secure. On October 13, 1962, a play opened on Broadway in New York City that was one of the first popular successes to articulate these undercurrents of dissatisfaction , of unease about America. That play, Edward Albee's Who's Afraid of Virginia Wo olf?, critically analyzed institutions and values that Americans held dear--fami ly, marriage, and success, for instance--and suggested they might have been crea ted in part to escape from reality.
