It’s About Making Room to Grow
Rochester is one of the fastest growing cities in the state. Home to 97,000 residents, the city has grown more than 10 percent since the 2000 census. Rochester’s elementary student population is outgrowing its schools, increasing nearly 7 percent in the past five years. With 10 of our 15 elementary schools over 95-percent capacity and elementary enrollment projected to grow 20 percent in the next five years, the need for a new elementary school is clear.

The Ballot Question
On Tuesday, September 25, we are asking voters to consider a $17.4-million bond referendum for the construction of a 650-student elementary school in northwest Rochester, one of the fastest-growing areas of the city.

Start: 1:00 pm

Since 1980 Bob and Gail have traveled the country together taking old time music to audiences of all ages at festivals, fairs, concerts, dances, schools, libraries, music camps, radio and TV programs. This is rural music as played in homes, at dances and for earlier entertainments such as minstrel shows and country radio. Along with a repertoire including dance tunes, ballads, cowboy songs, humorous and sentimental numbers, blues and rags, they spice their shows with stories, history and folklore. They both sing (Bob yodels, too) and play fiddle, banjo, guitar and harmonica.

National Day of Play
 
Saturday, September 29, 2007

For most outdoor enthusiasts – hikers, campers, climbers, paddlers, etc. – every Saturday is a designated, unofficial worldwide day of play. But for many kids, Saturday is synonymous with marathon TV sessions and video games.

On Saturday, September 29, 2007, the official Worldwide Day of Play (WWDoP), sponsored by Nickelodeon and its partners, will motivate "indoor" kids to get active outside. In honor of the WWDoP, Nickelodeon will “go dark” on air to encourage kids to get up, go out and play. The goal is to have kids across America gather in parks and playgrounds to engage in healthy, fun outdoor activities. The WWDoP is the culmination of Nickelodeon’s Let’s Just Play Go Healthy Challenge.

Start: 10:30 am
