* When Nettlehorst school principal Susan Kurland asked parent Jacqueline Edelburg and her friend what it would take for them to enroll their children at the school, the women came back the next day "armed with an extensive wish list" (pp. 25-27). What would be on your wish list for a school for your children? Which items, if any, would be nonnegotiable?Reply here: http://www.berwyncares.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=39

A Wish List for Morton West
Berwyn CARES had a small, but spirited, group meet on Thursday at the Library to discuss the book "How to Walk to School: Blueprint for a Neighborhood Renaissance". Our discussion kept coming back to Morton West. I've posted the following question on the CARES forum and was hoping you all would comment there. While not everyone can attend meetings in person, most readers of this blog have something to say on this subject. Let your voice be heard!

NBPD Names Best of Berwyn, Seeks Volunteers to Build Park.
Congratulations to the North Berwyn Park District on the 10th anniversary of the Best of Berwyn program, celebrated at an awards dinner last week. Few events make you feel better about local education than the Best of Berwyn. The caliber of all the kids in the competition this year was inspiring and a video should soon be available on their Web site.
The #1 Best of Berwyn for 2011 is a young man named Weisner Perez whose brother was a #2 BoB last year. All three middle schools were pretty evenly represented (7-8 kids each from Freedom, Lincoln, Heritage) and 2 from St. Leonard’s. Many were like Weisner in that they had siblings that preceded them in the BoB, reinforcing what we already know: that family support makes a big difference.
You can read more about the program and the candidate’s here: http://www.nbpd4fun.org/uploads/Download/BOB2011Candidates.pdf.
North Berwyn Park District has plans to build a park at 19th and Cuyler in ONE day (June 4, 2011) with support from KaBOOM! and Disney. They are seeking 150 volunteers (no skills/tools needed). Please email info@berwyncares.org if you want to join a CARES team or contact the NBPD at (708) 749-4900.
