This week’s at MTSR:
This week we are meeting at the Logeman Center in the Ivy Room (lower east section of the building), the East Hall (where we normally meet) is having the floors refinished. Enter the building on the east side rather than the south. Elisabeth Suran and some other volunteers have been generous enough to set up the room for us.
Our speaker will be Tracy Jeske who has a powerful message to share with us. Please welcome her and help her find our meeting room, whom ever escorts her in from the parking lot gets a FREE happy buck on me.
Enjoy the beautiful summer day ahead of us… keep in mind we can expect to have approximately 29, 556 days on this earth, and this is one of them, use it wisely!

Homestead, Shorewood ranked among top 10 Wisconsin high schools By Jeff Rumage
Some of the best high schools in the state are located right here in the North Shore, according to U.S. News and World Report's annual rankings.
Homestead High School was ranked sixth, and Shorewood High School ranked seventh in the magazine's list of top Wisconsin high schools. Nicolet High School ranked 11th. Whitefish Bay High School was not included in the list, because the magazine only includes schools with federally subsidized free- and reduced-price lunch programs.
Homestead Principal Brett Bowers said this is the best ranking the Highlanders have ever seen. He attributes the school's high ranking to its increased efforts in growing the number of Advanced Placement classes and the number of students who participate in those classes. The school has increased its AP course offerings from 14 classes to 22 classes in the last four years.
In an industrial neighborhood a few blocks from San Diego’s shipyards, children start arriving at the brightly painted Monarch School at 6 a.m., an hour before classes begin. Some come early to take a shower or wash their clothes. Others eat breakfast or take a nap. Classes end at 3 p.m., but many students stay for three hours of afterschool programs.
With about 400 homeless and transient students passing through its doors each year, Monarch is one of the few schools of its kind in the United States. The state-of-the-art facility also provides students with clothing, health care, counseling, and career training. Their families can get trolley passes, money to pay for birth certificates and other documents, translation services, and parent coaching.
