At the board’s meeting April 3, the board voted 6-2 not to accept Superin- tendent Rose Wilder’s recommenda- tion of principals for the 2017-18 school year. The board also refused to accept her recommendation to offer employment to the director of food service, director of maintenance and director of technology. During public participation, Bea- trice Rivers, president of the Claren- don Education Association, told the board she was shocked by the way the board was “disrespectful” to Wilder. Rivers spoke about the recog- nition the district has received for its successes. “You have discarded everything those people did; they should be com- mended, not terminated,” she said. “The leadership team along with the teachers have created an atmosphere for achievement.” Eliza Reed told the board the dis- trict has succeeded beyond expecta- tions. “You can’t fix what’s not broken,” she said. “I want to know what is bro- ken.” PHOTOS BY RICK CARPENTER / THE SUMTER ITEM According to Robert McFadden, Sumter School District Superintendent Frank Baker listens Monday night as school board trustee Johnny Hilton asks about Bak- president of the Scotts Branch Alum- er’s decision to ask Sumter County Council for a mill levy rate increase. ni Association, the board has not even made clear which principals are being terminated. 2018 budget passes third and final reading on 4-2 vote “We don’t see the need for whatever action this board has taken,” he said.

  • 11Th Grade English Worksheet Bundle: Volume Two Printable English Worksheets from Edmentum's Study Island
    11th Grade English Worksheet Bundle: Volume Two Printable English worksheets from Edmentum's Study Island. Grade 11 English: Summary What’s so special about a bunch of green beans called edamame? It’s not just the name, but also the contents that make this seed a favorite among Japanese and Chinese people. Edamame is a fancy name coined for boiled soybeans. We all know how healthy and nutritious soybeans are. Eating half a cup of these tasty beans punches up the intake of protein, fiber, vitamins, and minerals in a diet. An interviewer once saw Faith Hill snacking on edamame at an interview for Country Music Television. Soy is known to promote good health and prevent certain diseases. A recent study shows that soy helps reduce insulin resistance, kidney damage, and increases good cholesterol. Soy products have components that fight cancer. Isoflavone is the most active anti-cancer element in soy products. Studies show that consuming 100-200 milligrams of isoflavone a day can lower the risk of cancer. 1. What is a good summary of paragraph 2? A. Japanese and Chinese are the only people known to eat soy-based products. B. Since soy products are beneficial for one's health, celebrities eat them very regularly. C. Soy products contain isoflavone. This anti-cancer element can help reduce the risk of cancer. D.

    screenwritersmonthly.com | Screenwriter’s Monthly Give ‘em some credit! Johnny Depp's performance as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl is amazing. As film critic after film critic stumbled over Screenwriter’s Monthly can be found themselves to call his performance everything from "original" to at the following fine locations: "eccentric," they forgot one thing: the screenwriters, Ted Elliott and Terry Rossio, who did one heck of a job creating Sparrow on paper first. Sure, some critics mentioned the writers when they declared the film "cliché" and attacked it. Since the previous Walt Disney Los Angeles film based on one of its theme park attractions was the unbear- able The Country Bears, Pirates of the Caribbean is surprisingly Above The Fold 370 N.

  • Pippin - Notes for Performers the Following Questions and Answers Are from the Archive of the Stephenschwartz.Com Forum
    Pippin - Notes for Performers The following questions and answers are from the archive of the StephenSchwartz.com Forum. Copyright by Stephen Schwartz 2010 all rights reserved. No part of this content may be reproduced without prior written consent, including copying material for other websites. Feel free to link to this archive. Send questions to [email protected] Pippin Audition Advice Dear Mr. Schwartz, I am in need of some major advice. I have an audition for Pippin on September 8, and I could really use some of your wisdom about the show. I guess the easiest way is to list the questions:- What is the highest note Pippin sings in the original score?- What is the highest note the Leading Player sings in the original score?- Is the Original Cast Recording true to the music of the actual show? (I am assuming "yes," but sometimes cds are different.)- Does the part of Lewis sing in the show? I am a High Baritone who can belt a G as of now (7/26/2003) and if you could give me any advice of which part fits that, i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for taking the time to read my post. Whitney Ackerman Answer from Forum visitor: I just music directed Pippin. Both the leading player and Pippin really need an Ab. A solid A is very helpful, esp. for the leading player. Louis doesn't specifically have any solo singing, although he is often given the "battles, barberous and bloody" line in Magic. Pippin: Leading Player Question: Hi! I'm playing a female leading player...I was reading an essay written by someone on their own take on the play Pippin and different symbolism.

  • Idioms-And-Expressions.Pdf
    Idioms and Expressions by David Holmes A method for learning and remembering idioms and expressions I wrote this model as a teaching device during the time I was working in Bangkok, Thai- land, as a legal editor and language consultant, with one of the Big Four Legal and Tax companies, KPMG (during my afternoon job) after teaching at the university. When I had no legal documents to edit and no individual advising to do (which was quite frequently) I would sit at my desk, (like some old character out of a Charles Dickens’ novel) and prepare language materials to be used for helping professionals who had learned English as a second language—for even up to fifteen years in school—but who were still unable to follow a movie in English, understand the World News on TV, or converse in a colloquial style, because they’d never had a chance to hear and learn com- mon, everyday expressions such as, “It’s a done deal!” or “Drop whatever you’re doing.” Because misunderstandings of such idioms and expressions frequently caused miscom- munication between our management teams and foreign clients, I was asked to try to as- sist. I am happy to be able to share the materials that follow, such as they are, in the hope that they may be of some use and benefit to others. The simple teaching device I used was three-fold: 1. Make a note of an idiom/expression 2. Define and explain it in understandable words (including synonyms.) 3. Give at least three sample sentences to illustrate how the expression is used in context.
