Greenwich News - April 24, 2010
On Greenwich Avenue, shoppers tote around bags from chain stores and sip lattes from cups with a green logo that, for many, is the symbol of corporate America.
Greetings From Beautiful And Exotic Jackson Heights
Two 17-year-old teens from Jackson Heights in Queens, N.Y., were arrested and charged Tuesday with first-degree criminal trespass after police found them on Greenwich High School grounds after they were warned to leave. The teens do not attend the high school, police said.
Now Here Is The Punch Line....
One of the out of town teens was found to be in possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He was charged with possession of marijuana within 1,500 of a school and possession of drug paraphernalia within 1,500 of a school.
Of Course They Will Show Up For Court....
Both out of town teens were released on small bonds

My name is Emily Sussman, and I am a teacher as well as a parent at Crossroads School in Brewster, New York.
I wish I were more eloquent. I wish that I could place the right phrase at the right time so people would stand up and take notice, but I am not. I am a simple person with a lot of passion.
Crossroads is a small private school that is danger of closing its doors forever. It is a place where your child can learn and grow to be their very best.
Oh, I am sure you have all heard this before from many schools, but the fact of the matter is that it doesn't always happen. Yet I see it here at Crossroads.
I have seen children who are broken and fragile and have lost hopes due to the treatment of their peers and the school system. I have seen kids who are paralyzed with anxiety who can not leave their homes because they fear the bullying of other students, even teachers and the system in general. I have seen them all.
I have also seen them walk through the doors at Crossroads School here in Brewster and within one month you can see the light of their smiles again. You can see a ray of hope in them. Give them six months, and I can see their grades going up because they WANT to learn! They need to LEARN.
I have seen so much good running in and out these doors --- and they are going to close.
Crossroads School will be having a fundraiser/information day/family fun day on Saturday, May 15th. All of the children are involved in one way or another to help raise funds. Some of our high school students are amazing artists. They are going to be selling limited edition prints of their work and the proceeds' will go to the school.
We need your support.
Please contact us at 845-278-2774 or visit us on the web at crossroadsschool.net for more information about the school.
