09/15/09 New Lebanon Children Say,"Gee, It Is Crowded In Here!!!" (Updated)

There's No Class Room

Poor Students In West Side Greenwich Classrooms Are Overflowing With Students

Class sizes anger New Lebanon parents - Greenwich Time

As school officials work to counter enrollment spikes in the public schools, some New Lebanon School parents said their children are getting the short end of the stick in the efforts to control class sizes.

Nearly 125 more students than expected enrolled in public schools this year, according to the latest available figures. To accommodate the increase, school officials have hired more staff, including two employees at the high school and one at both Hamilton Avenue and Glenville schools.

New Lebanon received one new teacher this fall after losing the equivalent of two full-time staffers as part a $4 million reduction in the district's 2009-10 budget mandated by the town finance board. The budget included cutting the equivalent of more than 20 staff district-wide......

Parents Tell Board Of Education To Help With The Flood.....

......New Lebanon's average fifth-grade class size is 27 students, the largest average class size of any grade level at any school in the district, according to the latest data. It also exceeds by one student the district's guidelines.

The school is also home to fourth-grade classes with the largest average class size in the district, at 26 students, the data show. The lower grades fall within the guidelines. The one additional teacher was added to the second grade......

Parent Joseph Pecora Says His Childs School Is Bursting With Students......

.....the larger class sizes in the upper grade levels this school year threaten to erode the achievement gains made in recent years. These gain have come even as New Lebanon routinely scores lower than nearly every other school in the district on standardized exams.

"For you to choose to allow the school to have classes that exceed or match the guidelines ... shows that your intentions are not in line with helping the students at the one school which consistently scores the lowest," Pecora wrote in a letter to schools chief Sidney Freund.

Pecora, who runs Pecora Brothers, a construction company that helped expedite work in the delayed Hamilton Avenue reconstruction, recently met with Freund, but said later he was not satisfied with how it went......

Three Cheers For Joseph Pecora !!!!!!

Where Is The Greenwich Board Of Education?????

.....Several attempts to contact Freund were unsuccessful Monday. Messages were also left with Kim Eves, the district's communications director, and Gene Nyitray, principal of New Lebanon School......

New Lebanon Teachers Face Challenges That Are Very Different From Their Old Greenwich And Riverside Colleagues.....

.....New Lebanon is one of three so-called "Title I" schools in Greenwich, along with Julian Curtiss and Hamilton Avenue schools, that receive federal grants because many of their students receive free or reduced lunches.

Last school year, it was considered the most racially imbalanced school in the district, with minority students accounting for 58 percent of the school population......

Maybe, The Well To On The Eastside Of Town Could Do The Right Thing And Help Out Some Of The Weakest And Most Disadvantaged Members Of Greenwich Society.....

.....Pecora also worries the larger class sizes could make it harder to attract non-minority students to reduce the imbalance, however.

Pecora said that a high-performing school like Riverside could give up one teacher to New Lebanon and still remain comfortably within the class-size guidelines.......

Thanks A Lot Nancy.....The Greenwich Board Of Education moved from two New fifth grade classes down to one.....

......In recent school years, the district would have been required to hire another teacher for New Lebanon's oversized fifth grade. This spring, however, the school board eased those rules, shifting from hard caps to more flexible guidelines to give school officials more leeway to deal with a meager budget and a rise in enrollment. ....

Greenwich Time Reporter Colin Gustafson Has Started Lisening To Westside Parents.....

.....Jan Cash, the mother of a fifth-grade boy, said she worries fifth-grade class sizes will create a larger burden for the teachers.

"Twenty-seven kids is an awfully large load for any person to handle, and it's just way too many different levels to teach at," she said. "It is going to be really difficult."

Rick Masi, whose daughter is in fifth grade, echoed those sentiments.

"The teacher is going to be stuck in a bad situation. It's just too many kids to control," ......

NATIONAL SUICIDE: HOW WASHINGTON IS DESTROYING THE AMERICAN DREAM FROM A TO Z
National Suicide
Just Books
28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT
Free and Open to the Public

Just Books welcomes New York Times bestselling author, journalist, and social scientist Martin L. Gross as he visits to sign copies of his recently released and very compelling book, National Suicide: How Washington is Destroying The American Dream From A to Z (Berkley Trade, $15; September 1, 2009). Martin Gross is the author of the bestselling book The Government Racket, which was an indictment of government waste. In National Suicide, Gross profiles the U.S. government as it is today, and correlates the direction the U.S. is heading in as away from the strong foundation laid down by America's founding fathers. The U.S. as we know it is heading toward extinction and Gross outlines the programs that have had huge financial impact on the U.S. and the national debt, the laws that have completely unintended consequences, and the scams perpetrated by legislators intent upon remaining in office no matter what the cost to the nation and its citizens -- for generations to come. No subject is taboo and Gross also confronts Medicare and Medicaid waste upward of $150 billion a year. National Suicide is like a fiery Town Hall Meeting, but also offers practical solutions on how America can govern better and smarter.

PETER SAVERINE & BOBBI EGGERS
JENNY'S PENNIES
Jennies Pennies
Just Books
28 Arcadia Road, Old Greenwich, CT
Free and Open to the Public

Just Books is pleased to welcome local Greenwich residents Peter Saverine and Bobbi Eggers as they introduce their new children's book Jenny's Pennies ($17.95).

It is often said that everybody has a book in them to write and Peter Saverine is no exception. Jenny's Pennies was originally meant to chronicle some of the special times when he and his family would find lucky pennies just when they needed them the most. For years they would call these "Jenny's pennies"-a tribute to Peter's mother, Jenny, who passed away in 1998 and who always believed that an errant penny was meant to be picked up and that it would bring good luck. For no apparent reason, Jenny's pennies would be found on the first day of school, in a new college dorm, on the football field before a game, or on a sunny beach. Saverine wanted a whimsical, freestyle artistic expression for the book and knew of Bobbi Eggers' work through previous business ventures. Bobbi Eggers, who is also a Greenwich resident, is a talented artist whose creative editorial cartoons (with stand-up comedian Jane Condon) are often seen in local newspapers and magazines.
