Book fair to benefit Priestley School
Posted on February 26, 2008 by Jim S
Att.: Students, Parents, Faculty and Staff, Board Members, and Friends of
Priestley School of Construction and Architecture
Barnes & Noble Book Fair
March 23-29
Please save the last week of March for a major book buying frenzy. There will be a book fair at Barnes & Noble Book Sellers, 3721 Veterans Blvd., during the week of March 23-29. Any book, food, coffee, or gift you buy during this week can benefit Priestley because a B & N will donate a percentage of the sale to Priestley.
In addition, there will be a table set up with books we would like to add to our library collection. You can purchase these for the library and still earn a percentage for the school besides donating the book. If you do this, please sign the front flyleaf, “To Priestley from ____________.” You may include a message if you would like.
We will distribute vouchers to the students the week before the sale. These are not necessary at the Veterans store as long as you tell the clerk at checkout that you are buying it for Priestly, but are necessary if you are purchasing something at another store.
If sales exceed $2,000.00, we get a higher percentage so please start your summer reading list, or get that book you have always wanted!

Posted on February 26, 2008 by Jim S
Also, on Wednesday, February 27 (tomorrow), Major Bouyelas has announced that NOPD officers from the Second District will be “walking beats” in “Zone K” of the District, which is most of our neighborhood.
If you see policemen walking the beat, introduce yourself, tell them we’re happy to see them, and express any specific concerns about your immediate neighborhood.

Happy New Year!
Posted on January 7, 2008 by Jim S
2007 brought a lot of positive change to our City. And we enter the new year hoping for the trend to continue. But one bad thing is unlikely to change anytime soon: Crime. It only seems to be getting worse. If you know of potentially illegal activity you can use the 2nd Police District’s Hot Sheet to report it. Download a copy on the Hot Sheet page to the right. Or here: Hot Sheet

CRRA At the Johnson Playground
Originally uploaded by nola-shiva.
Earlier in the summer CRRA volunteers helped install a new playground at James Weldon Johnson Elementary school, at Monroe and Green. CRRA is committed to helping this neighborhood school improve.
James Weldon Johnson was an important American author in the early part of the 20th century. His work helped inspire the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s and 1930s. Wikipedia has more information about this very interesting man who was active in many creative and scholarly fields.

Palmer Park event
Posted on August 23, 2007 by Jim S
We lucked out with great weather, for August. Clouds gathered, there was thunder, it rained somewhere nearby–enough to cool the air. It was a fairly good turnout. There was lots of food and live music. Shelly came by. The Priestly School had a table. And candidates for office made the rounds.
Here are a few pics. I got there a little late so missed some of the early activities.
