Thunderbird Fans! Let's show Connecticut the spirit and genorosity of North Branford!!!

Help the North Branford Football team and cheerleaders make a good Christmas for others this Saturday!!!!!

 

There have been a lot of emails being sent about Saturday's game (many thanks to Sue Calamita and Kris Smith), but in case you haven't heard, NBC CT is sponsoring a toy drive from 8 a.m. to noon at Rentschler Field. The TouchDown Club and North Branford Cheer Club have requested that, if possible, anyone going to the game please bring a new, unwrapped toy to donate to the toy drive.

C'mon North Branford, we need your help! If you are not going to the game but know a cheerleader or football player and would like to donate, please feel free to give them your donation. Also, the cheer bus will be leaving at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning and I will collect any donation drop-offs between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m. if you would like to provide something then.

This is a great opportunity to shop locally as well – we have fabulous, locally owned businesses with items suitable for the drive.

Let's show Connecticut the spirit and genorosity of North Branford!!!

Call Channel 8. That's what a mom had to do here in Guilford last spring to get action after herRead More kindergartener was dropped off alone at the entrance to their condo complex. She walked over 1/2 mile along side a lake and woods to her condo. As a school bus driver and a mother I am shocked that these instances have not been dealt with swiftly! Never, ever on my watch would this happen!

Update- I get a call the other day from the school that my son was pushed while waiting for the busRead More and fell. I was told the teacher watching was a substitute and put him on the bus. When asked if he was okay I basically was told that they had no idea! (That is another story) Bottom line is I had a nice call with the principal and feel that she has done all she could. Based on her advice I contacted the Superintendent to see if I could schedule a call with him. Tuesday at 10:00 AM Obviously I see were this situation ranks!

I had problems last year with out driver taking off before my son sat down. I reported this to theRead More school principal as well as DATCO. Datco could careless what the drivers do. The principal called them as well and it stopped. I now watch every day from a different window. The driver knows I will report him again if he does this again. We have had a few sub drivers do the same. Datco doesnt care what the drivers do no use in having them investigate anything. They wont listen. The thing is it has to be documented if i see anything on any bus around town you have to call it in especially when you see children not in seats jumping around ect. They really need to put cameras on the buses some kids dont listen to the drivers either its a 2 way street but the actions of dropping a kid off when its not their stop is ridicules!
