I updated the story to include a map. Patch actually uses Mapquest, so I had to place the marker myself. It's to the right of the story.

Shocking

Grace court is east of the senior housing.
Kerry December 23, 2012 at 12:32 pm
From my experience, Mapquest is not too good. I use Rand Mcnally.

Google them and be entertained by the background of these upstanding citizens. They're heading back to familiar surroundings.

Was there ever a time when a full day was offered Jennifer? I was in kindergarten at Oakwood aboutRead More 28 years ago and even then it was half day. If you want full day Kate, St Pats/St Al's, St Cyril's, and I'm sure others are full day.
Catherine Stukel June 11, 2013 at 01:58 pm
Let's get real. It is NOT a half day. It is 2.5 hours. By the time kids into class, sing a song,Read More have a snack and pee, they are done for the day. Sorry. Calling a spade a spade on this one.
Ann Oyed June 11, 2013 at 02:58 pm
Is this question really from a teacher? Full-day kindergarTen has a lot of fillers too: they eatRead More lunch, go outside, go to the bathroom, etc. I don't think our public schools allow snacks in the classroom anyway. Any teacher would know that learning starts at home, and a teacher would know how to supplement a kindergarten curriculum.
