The Voice 5 Spoilers Top 20
In order to juice up the Knockout Rounds (Because gah, they were BORING), The "steal" will be in play in BOTH the Battle and Knockout rounds. Each coach will get one opportunity to nab a rejected contestant from another coach during knock-outs.
The extra steals mean that a TOP 20 will compete in the live rounds, instead of a Top 16 as in the past.

Amy Beth
I wonder if any coach will steal back a singer that got stolen in the prior round.
Really surprised Nic Hawk made it that far.
Not surprised Donna got cut. Really good voice, but old fashioned
I have to give major props to mj for getting these spoiler because most people who attend the voice taping are scared to death of spoiling anything because they have to sign stuff before they are allowed in the tapings
Interesting, thanks.
Amy Beth
Mini spoiler: Tonight's winning iTunes are available. There are 9 singers who made a team.
I'm watching now, and that's what I felt about Donna too. Shame she got cut so early.
So far, I think Matthew Schuler is my pick for the win. That guy has it ALL. I love his voice and his demeanor.
Miss Blue
I"m going with Kat R. and James Wolpert. James reminds me of a young Rob Thomas and I've loved Kat for quite awhile so I hope they both make finals.
or is she too 'old' – Ive always had her song from the Specialist soundtrack on my iPod. Aside from Susan Boyle, has there been an 'older' person launch a music career? Thats who 67 year old Cher should mentor
Where are the rest of the top 20?
Wayne Alley
What is the fate of Holly Henry. Would like to know.
Wayne Alley
Can you please blog Tuesday's top 20 results.
This is actually not accurate!! My cousin is in season 5 and I know for a fact a few of these are totally wrong.
ACK, where is the rest of the list??? You're killing me!!! :)
Well it's a damn good thing he did.
Where is the other 12?
Nic Hawk – team Blake?! That doesn't seem like the right fit….interesting.
Eri Furukawa
From what I remember in the preview of the battle rounds we know for sure these are some of the pairings:
Kat Robichaud vs. R. Anthony
Grey vs. Nic Hawk
Jacquie Lee vs. Briana Cuoco
Shelbie Z. vs. Justin Chain
Brandon Chase vs. Emily Randolph
Amber Nicole vs. Timyra-Joi
Donna Allen vs. Tessanne Chin
Eri Furukawa
Here are my guesses on what some of the other battle pairings could POSSIBLY be:
Will Champlin vs. James Irwin
Monika Leigh vs. Ray Boudreaux
Holly Henry vs. Brian Pounds/E.G. Daily
Juhi vs. Caroline Pennell
Olivia Henken vs. Destinee Quinn
I think she was paired against the girl who sang Try. the really good one
YES! Loves James, his audition was incredible and underrated.
Have no idea who any of these people are (by name). Guess I'll have to watch the show. :-)
Me either and what type of music do they sing? The only reason I watched the live shows last season was because of the Swan Brothers
D. Kennedy
In all honesty, I only remember 3 of these ppl without looking up anything, Matthew, Tessane, and Nic. The rest I couldn't tell you, you have to stand out and it's just so many singers on this show. lol
Danielle Fan!
Very happy Grey made it. :)
Thurs, Nov 7 is Adam's debut on Glee. Not nice of Voice to go against Glee on Thurs.
One thing I like about The Voice is they don't have joke contestants like XF and AI.
Pat S
Yes! Grey and Will making it is awesome!
MichaelG (MikhailXO)
Yay! Peston Pohl is my early favourite. Such a great, powerful voice and still an excellent falsetto, good presence, everything.
Grey needs to add a last name. who you think you are girl? It sounds silly and bland.
Amy Beth
If you knew her real last name, you'd understand why she dropped it
Holly Henry for the win. There is other talent that compares to her but it's Blake so….
I want it to be this way!!!
James Wolpert
Tessanne Chin
Matt Cermanski
Holly Henry (K/O round STEAL please!)
Kat Robichaud
Caroline Pennell
Jonny Gray
Monika Leigh
Ashley DuBose (K/O round Steal)
Team Xtina
Matthew Schuler
Olivia Henken
Josh Logan
Will Champlin (Battle Round Steal)
Ray Boudreaux (K/o round steal)
Team Blake
Nic Hawk
Shelbie Z
Brandon Chase
EG Daily
Jacquie Lee (K/O round STEAL)
MichaelG (MikhailXO)
I do. And she could shorten it or change it to another last name. Grey sounds stupid. And she hasn't earned the right to use a mono name yet. ;)
Thien Nguyen
Sorry to disapoint you but Blake didn't let Holly go. Even if he did, no one would have a chance to steal her. Matt was already out and no way Adam would let Preston go. If Adam has Holly, he will just destroy her chance like he did with Melanie so God wouldn't hear you.
Damien Roberts
None of my favorites on the list; c'mon Holly, Austin, Juhi or Caroline please!
Yes they do. They just compliment them after not turning their chairs or chosing them. :)
Shelly Sute
What about Holly Henry?
Michael Grundland
ahhh I think I might have caught on to a spoiler! Check out this preview of Cee Lo and Blake fighting over stealing a female off of Xtina's team:
At the very end, you can hear Cee Lo yelling "Amber! Amber!"
…so, Amber Nicole is stolen in the K/O rounds? If so, I will be very happy.
looks like she got cut
if you pause the video at :25 second mark you can clearly see amber lol
Peter Prach
if the spoilers are right, then holly got cut because the preview of the knockouts show Nic Hawk vs Holly Henry. &&& Nic is in the top 20. :(
based on THIS (might be fake), she loses to Nic. 90% of that really happening.
Spoiler Alert !
Some messed matchup though :(
hopefully she gets stolen!

New Bumper ES fungicide receives EPA approval
Bumper ES fungicide, manufactured by MANA, has received approval by the EPA for its new state-of-the-art formulation that provides broad-spectrum control of foliar fungal diseases on corn, soybeans, sorghum and other crops.
Bumper ES has an advanced propiconazole formulation that performs at levels equivalent to emusifiable concentrate (EC) products but with improved environmental, handling and safety qualities. With exceptionally low use rates, low odor and favorable personal protective equipment a requirement, Bumper ES offers significant improvements in ease of use and convenience versus competitive delivery platforms. It also minimizes environmental concerns by reducing impact on air quality, and it hosts a "Caution" signal word on its label.
Delivering uncompromised performance in preventive and curative disease management against brown leaf spot, Septoria leaf blight, glume blotch, rusts and many others, Bumper ES is classified as a FRAC Group 3 fungicide. It is currently registered for use on almonds, berries, cereals, citrus, corn, peanuts, pecans, rice, sorghum, soybeans, stone fruit, sugarcane and tree nuts.
"Bumper ES supports the industry in placing less reliance on older EC-based products," said Dave Rummel, MANA brand leader. "While the older and more traditional EC offerings have been effective in providing good disease control, use of these products is on the decline due to new and pending pesticide regulations."
According to Rummel, advanced crop protection tools such as Bumper ES allow active ingredients like propiconazole to have a continued and highly relevant presence in the marketplace.
"Growers depend on propiconazole for integrated disease management success because of its broad-spectrum effectiveness and seamless compatibility with most insecticides, fungicides and foliar nutrients," said Rummel. "Plus, its mode of action is an integral part of most resistance management programs and widely endorsed by plant pathologists and university experts.
"As one of the first propiconazole products of its kind, Bumper ES meets grower demand in disease management while minimizing environmental concerns and improving ease of use and safety," Rummel concluded.

Dr. Jack Whittier has been appointed as the new Director of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Panhandle Research and Extension Center and the Panhandle Extension District.
Dr. Whittier is a Professor and Extension Beef Specialist at Colorado State University.
He replaces Dr. Linda Boeckner, who accepted a new assignment in 2013 with UNL Extension and the College of Education and Human Sciences in Lincoln, following a five-year stint as director.
Dr. Gary Hergert had been serving as Interim Director in Boeckner's absence.
Dr. Whittier will take over as Director on June 1, 2014.
He will be responsible for overseeing operations at the Scottsbluff Panhandle Center, as well as research facilities including the Scottsbluff Ag Lab, the Mitchell Ag Lab, the High Plains Ag Lab near Sidney and Sioux County Experimental Range.
Dr. Whittier also will lead the 16-county Panhandle Extension District.
Dean and Director of UNL Extension, Dr. Chuck Hibberd, said a nationwide search was conducted to find the right person to take over the role.
"In his interview, Dr. Whittier demonstrated the vision, the ability to mobilize great programs and great people, and the connection with stakeholders that positions the Panhandle Research and Extension Center to catalyze agriculture, families, nutrition, youth and community initiatives in western Nebraska."
Dr. Whittier received a Ph.D. in animal science in 1985 from UNL; and master's and bachelor's degrees in animal science from Utah State, in 1981 and 1979.
He has been at Colorado State since 1995, and before that held faculty and graduate research positions at the University of Missouri, University of Nebraska and Utah State University.

Come Check Us Out!
605 Salem Rd., Suite 7
Conway, AR 72034
The Get Fit Arkansas program was a great experience for me! Mark gave me the information, tools, and confidence I needed to live a healthier lifestyle while avoiding "fad" diets that only provide short-term results. Mark is a great trainer who is not intimidating and he really works with you to create a custom workout program. I'm already down 20 pounds and feel great! Auston Griffing, Little Rock
The Running Girl:
How Does She Do It?
Recently I had the pleasure to sit down for a little
"Q&A" session with 5-time Little Rock Marathon winner
Leah Thorvilson. Just a couple of weeks after winning the marathon for a record fifth time, and just a couple of days after knee surgery, Leah graciously granted me an interview for Get Fit Arkansas. Having just been thru a media whirlwind, and then having her knee scoped on top of that, I halfway expected to find her both exhausted and on crutches! To the contrary however, it was neither. She showed up ready to roll and was walking just fine. In no time, she was strolling thru Newks greeting some friends and fellow runners. I shouldn't have expected anything less.
I've been fortunate to get to know Leah somewhat over the past year or so, as we are both UALR alumni and members of the UALR Tip-In Club. In the time I've known her, I've found her to be a very energetic person. That goes without saying. She's also attractive, outgoing, and knows how to laugh. What I like most about Leah though is she hasn't allowed all of her success to go to her head. She's humble, down to earth, very pleasant to be around, and always seems to have a smile for everyone.
Leah also stays very busy as the Director of Athletic Development for UALR. Having been a standout on the Trojan's cross-country team, Leah has now returned to her alma mater to help make it possible for other student-athletes to play sports, graduate college, and achieve their dreams.
So how does someone start off virtually every morning by running a half-marathon … that's right … 13 miles per day for training, work full-time, constantly attend athletic events, travel for races, and have any time left over for a social life?
With all of this going on, one has to ask … Just how does she do it?
These are the questions I posed to Leah during our interview. We hope you enjoy the Q&A format:
Q. With 25 marathon wins (so far!) spanning over several years, you've got to love what you're doing. Can you tell us when and how you discovered your passion for running?
A. I started running in high school back home in Minnesota and really enjoyed it, but don't know that I ever had any expectation to run after I graduated. I was given an opportunity to come run on a scholarship at UALR, where I realized my passion for distance running.

A proposed youth baseball complex in Point Place isn't
sitting well with some neighbors.
An 11.5-acre site along the 4200 block of Suder Avenue is
owned by Washington Local Schools, and the district has a lease agreement with
the Trilby Youth Sports Foundation, which has submitted a request for a Special
Use Permit (SUP) to build a baseball complex there. The SUP request needs to be
approved by Toledo City Council for the plan to move forward.
Ray Elieff owns a five-acre family farm next door and has
lived there since 1935, and he's not happy about the plan. If approved, the
service drive for the complex would be located just a few feet away from his
"Once the ball diamonds are in, we'll have excessive
noise," Elieff said. "On weekends when people want to relax, it'll be
screaming, yelling."
He says he'd rather see more single-family homes built on
that land.
"If you don't put ball diamonds in, the land is available
for development. Housing would bring in taxes for the school system, for the
Councilwoman Lindsay Webb says she's been trying to ease
concerns of neighbors, and is supporting the request.
"What we've come up with is a reduced density," she said.
"So rather than four diamonds, we're talking about three diamonds. They intend
to use it sometime between April and the end of June, no lights."
Webb says the SUP is the only request before council.
"That's city council's only consideration. There are no
tax abatements. There's no general fund or capital improvement dollars in any
way being used by the city."
The SUP request will be reviewed by the Toledo Planning
Commission and Toledo City Council's Zoning and Planning Committee before
council takes a vote.

After working as the Rangers' closer for the past two seasons, Feliz was moved into the starting pitching rotation this offseason. For the first time in his major league career, Neftali Feliz took the mound as the starting pitcher for the Texas Rangers in last night's game against the Seattle Mariners, and it was an incredible start for the right-handed pitcher out of the Dominican Republic.
Feliz admitted to feeling a "little pressure" before the game, which became clear as he struggled with control a bit early, walking two of the first three batters he faced. However, those were his only two walks on the night, and once he settled in, he was outstanding.
The 23-year-old pitcher threw seven complete innings–by far the longest outing of his professional career. In those seven innings he pitched a shut-out, allowing just four hits and striking out four batters.
In a change of roles, Feliz handed the ball off and watched the final innings from the dugout. Mike Adams and Joe Nathan pitched the final two innings of the game, keeping the shut-out in tact as the Rangers went on to defeat the Mariners by a score of 1-0.
Known for his fastball, Feliz worked on his change-up and slider over the summer, both of which were effective in last night's game.
After the win, catcher Mike Napoli told the press,"He mixed in all his pitches, got ahead, threw first-pitch off-speed strikes and threw inside. [It was a] great night for him."
Indeed it was.
Through one complete rotation, the Rangers' starting pitchers are a combined 4-0 and have a 2.93 ERA.

Regis Philbin is Pittsburgh Pirates fanAugust 28, 2013 4:00 AM
Share with others:
Hoist the Jolly Roger, Regis Philbin is an honorary buccaneer.
"I'm a big fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates, and I'm a big fan of Pittsburgh itself," said Mr. Philbin, who recently began hosting an Embassy Row sports talk production, "Crowd Goes Wild," on the Fox Sports 1 network. It went live Aug. 19 and airs at 5 p.m. here.
While first-week chatter focused mainly on news of the day, NFL preseason and pennant races, Mr. Philbin, 82 and a native of the Bronx, has been outspoken in his love for the unlikely division upstarts. Almost every afternoon on the show, he's managed to get in a rave for the Pirates.
The man who has been seen in more hours of live television than anyone in the medium's history said his infatuation began as a child, when he collected baseball trading cards. Names such as Arky Vaughan and Max Butcher caught his fancy, and while his allegiance has always been with the Yankees -- how could it not? -- he began following Pittsburgh a few years back.
"They're in a very tough division, but I've seen them getting better and better each year. I started following them when I had my ["Live!"] talk show with Kelly [Ripa, from 2001-11]. They were always great in April, and then, at the end of May they would start losing a few games and by June, they're in third place."
Not so this season. Although the race between the Pirates, St. Louis and Cincinnati has been in flux, the excitement it's generated is not lost on a man known for his boosterism of favored teams, particularly Notre Dame.
"The stands, they're packed, and it's an exciting time for the Pittsburgh fans. I'm happy for them."
Yet on Monday's show, Wall Street Journal columnist Jason Gay asked if perhaps the stress of rooting for two teams scrambling to make the playoffs might be too much for him.
"You're right, I've got to give it some second-thinking," Mr. Philbin said.
Could he be breaking up with the Pirates?
"No, no," he said Tuesday in a phone interview. "I'm going to have to drop the Yankees ... I don't think they're going to make it."tvradio

OK for some dishes
JRE from Jacksonville, FL– Verified Buyer
Not my favorite line of Calphalon pans. I always buy the coated ones, but since this was such a great deal, I thought I would try a stainless one for a change. Its okay for dishes that dont normally stick, like sauteeing mushrooms, but not good for scrambling eggs!

Officials in New York state are giving the public another month to weigh in on a proposal to allow new liquefied natural gas facilities in the state for the first time in 40 years.
The comment period on the proposed regulations had been slated to end on Nov. 4, but it's been extended until Dec. 4.
A public hearing on the regulations is scheduled for Wednesday in Albany.
It's been nearly a year since the administration of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the state health commissioner would conduct a review to determine whether hydrofracking could be done safely in New York. Since then, little information has been released on the on going study. Now, an anti-fracking group is suing the state to find out what exactly is being reviewed.
President Obama is planning on visiting upstate New York next week to promote an education plan. But whenever a major politician visits the region, the issue of fracking is often on the agenda, whether they like it or not.
In the summer of 2008, then Governor David Paterson and the legislature imposed an actual moratorium in New York on the gas drilling process known as hydrofracking. After it expired, Governor Cuomo's environmental agency began an extended review. That study has never been completed. For the past 10 months, a decision has been put on hold while Governor Cuomo's health commissioner conducts what he says is a health review. No details have been revealed.
Brian Sampson, with the pro-business group Unshackle Upstate, calls it "paralysis by analysis."
"It's very disingenuous to the people to say that here we are five years later and we haven't been able to make a decision," Sampson said.
A veteran from New York is in Washington, D.C. this week to tell members of Congress that energy policy must change to protect the United States. He says he plans to impress upon them the benefits of fracking.
Retired Army Sergeant First Class Charles Baranyai says he will join volunteer veterans from across the country from Vets4Energy - a group that advocates for energy policies to sustain national security. Baranyai hopes to accomplish the following:
VESTAL, N.Y. (AP) — Big energy companies have been trying for five years to tap the riches of the Marcellus Shale in southern New York. They promise thousands of jobs, economic salvation and an abundant, clean-burning source of fuel.But for all its political and financial clout, the industry hasn't been able to get its foot in the door. One reason: Folks like Sue Rapp and Vera Scroggins are in the way.
It's something few people think about, but all that natural gas and other fossil fuels being produced by hydrofracking has to be stored somewhere before it gets to the consumer. Often used for the job: underground salt caverns like the ones near Watkins Glen in the Finger Lakes. Now an out of state company wants to expand storage there, a plan some local residents call risky.
Gasland, an Oscar nominated documentary, has become an often quoted and viewed source for those opposed to hydraulic fracturing for natural gas in New York and elsewhere, and has been soundly criticized by those who support the drilling.
A new report says U.S. oil and gas reserves are up by about a third - that number rise higher thanks to hydraulic fracturing. The paper released by the Energy Information Administration, the research branch of the U.S. Energy Department, says that reserves of oil and gas that can be developed using current technology are up 35 percent this year from 2011.
Governor Cuomo, who still has not issued a decision on whether hydro fracking should be allowed in New York, is backing further away from the controversial gas drilling process in his economic development plans for the future.
Two years ago, Governor Cuomo considered hydro fracking a key component of his plans for economic development in the faltering upstate regions of the state.

'Cheers guys', said I winking at my collegue as we walked towards our desk holding the coffee in our hands.
I only wished it was a beer, Sigh!
Post the break-up, I was pushing myself to move on, and I must admit, I handled it pretty well. I reconciled with my family, friends and most important – MYSELF. Some instances, relationships, people teach you a lesson of a lifetime. I had learnt my lesson and was glad about that.
Staring at my monitor, I see a pop up reminder of a guest lecture I had registered for. The lecture was by Dr.Sonal Mansingh – a Padma Bhushana award winner, eminent Indian classical dancer and choreographer proficient in various Indian classical dancing styles. For the benefit of the readers, the Padma Bhushan is the third highest civilian award in the Republic of India, after the Bharat Ratna and the Padma Vibhushan. It is awarded by the Government of India.
Never the less, I hit ctrl+alt+delete and start walking towards the room where this inspirational speech was organised.The speech lasted for little over two hours, and was by far the BEST inspirational talks I have ever attended. Suddenly the power of endurance and the ability to roll with the punches seemed to be of utmost importance, and I knew I had to just move further blindly.
She spoke about her entire journey from childhood to adolescence, to growing up to relationships, to career and to all her ups and downs. Every word she uttered instilled faith and love in me..
The speech did end, but it left me in a state of interrogation. The only answer I could derive was to take my Vitamins: Vitamin A for Action, Vitamin B for Belief, Vitamin C for Confidence, Vitamin D for Discipline, Vitamin E for Enthusiasm..
I knew if i had the right intake of these vitamins I could be the best, do the best and get the best!
It sure was the end and a new beginning, at the same time!!
P.S – Have you had your dose of vitamins for the day yet?

Are stocks in new industries like lottery tickets?
AbstractWe examine the distribution of returns in new industries to determine whether stocks in new industries are similar to lottery tickets. We focus on one characteristic of lottery tickets: negative expected returns. We examine data from the United States on sellers of own-brand personal computers, airlines and airplane manufacturers, automobile manufacturers, railroads, and telegraphs. A relatively small number of companies generate outstanding returns in some industries. We find no evidence of low expected returns. On the contrary, firms in new industries typically have high volatility of individual stocks' returns and high expected returns relative to indexes for the same periods. None of our evidence suggests that investors reasonably might expect to pay to play when investing in new industries.

"Like what?"
"How about Baghdad?"
Allentonians are a divided group. On one side, there's Team Hilliard, which has challenged nearly every initiative, often in court. On the other side are those who believe Pawlowski can do no wrong. I suspect both sides are right and wrong. It's been a great debate.
But there's a third group that bothers the hell out of me. These are the elitists who insist we look at their city through rose colored glasses. The most extreme of these actually suggested we rename the Lehigh Valley the "Valley of Allentown." At the same time, those who feed the homeless are incredibly snarked as "dogooders" who "often do harm to society (especially our cities)." After being nauseated by those incredibly pompous remarks, Bill's column was a breath of fresh air.
But is Bill being too negative about the Queen City? Is Bethlehem or Easton just as bad as Allentown? Let's look at the cold hard facts.
If you compare Allentown to Bethlehem and Easton, the Lehigh Valley's two other cities, Allentown has the highest crime rate. That's just the way it is. Bethlehem's crime rate is below the national average in nearly every category, unlike Allentown.
In Easton, it's much closer, but Allentown still gets the edge.
So in the Valley of Allentown, the Queen City is our smelly armpit, like it or not. But that doesn't make Allentown a cesspool. Nearby Reading, in Berks County, actually makes Allentown look like paradise.
Allentown is actually amazingly similar to slightly larger Hartford, Connecticut, in crime statistics. Both cities are about the same distance from New York City.
Allentown is definitely the most crime-ridden city in the Lehigh Valley. But if you compare it with other similar cities, its crime problem is nothing unusual.

Discussion in 'Boston Celtics Fan Forum' started by goldenaleus, Aug 10, 2009.
Boston Celtics re-sign free-agent power forward Glen 'Big Baby' Davis - ESPN
I'm surprised at how little he re-upped for, 2 years at 6M total.
This is even more surprising when you look at how many past players have converted short-term production into huge contracts.
I'm surprised as well. I thought for sure some team was going to overpay.
Glad to see this got done! :singing:
The 'chemistry' of the C's is as important as the players and coaches on the team.
The NUCLEUS remains the same AND the free agents fit right in.
he was bound to come back no one was really showing any real interest in him
If you overpaid for Big Baby I'd be worried about him becoming the Big Donut with his genetic disposition to carrying weight.

In designing my new "CONNECT" class, I want to go beyond a simple Handshake task in order to create a more comprehensive handshake unit that accomplishes the following objectives:
1) Introduce the idea of collaborative learning
2) Allow students to experiment with some of the tech tools we will be using in the class
3) peer-to-peer teaching
We have 45 students in our middle school, so we are dividing them into 2 groups of 22&23 students. At the outset the teachers…Continue

After reading chapter 10, I explored some of the resources mentioned. I liked the TIGed site. It gives resources that can be filtered down into 4 different areas: lesson plans, research, videos, and collaborative projects. It seems like a great source for generating ideas for designing our projects. The case # 21 highlights it. Thanks.

I do not currently have a classroom, so I had to collaborate with a colleague that does. I have chosen to work with the very helpful, Melissa Bailey. She helped me understand how professional development works at her particular school.

However, she did tell me about how they often work with UNA as well as former high school graduates now attending other schools,…Continue

I had problems with Challenge 13, almost right from the get go. At first, I deliberated on what to actually do for a project. While browsing for ideas, I stumbled across a website that I thought I might like to use; however, it required administrator approval to join to create a page to display.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My son is very active and very smart so finding a good fit for him has been hard. Before Mountain he didn't like coming to school. He loves getting up every morning now and going to school. I know a great school as I am a teacher and see the teachers at Mountain as not being brunt out and enjoying what they are doing. The class size is smaller and as a parent and former teacher I know that smaller class sizes are key. There is hardly any turn over rate at this school which is another hint that this is a great school.
I'm writing this review in response to the two negative reviews at the top of this list. We've had two children go through and graduate from Mountain School. One is now a junior in High School and one is in her last year at Mt. School. It is sad to say good-bye to a school that has loved and nurtured our children and family for the past decade. Every teacher, administrator, and front desk helper, knows both my children and myself by first name. I've always felt that there was room for my children to grown, but also to be the kids that they are in elementary school. There is a push for physical activity. The "exclusive attitudes" referred to in another of these reviews is mind-boggling to me. I've never been anything but welcome in this school. That parent's unfortunate experience is NOT representative of the school. See ALL of the 5 star reviews! Mtn. School is loved by many. I didn't want the world to read negative reviews right at the top. Thus, here's my say.
Mountain School was a BIG disappointment. My grandson has excellent reading skills, a great vocabulary and had always loved to speak in class, until he arrived at this place. An opening became available (I can now see why) in a K-1st Grade combo taught by a brand new teacher. His reading assessments were delayed without explanation and when he made a "what I did over Thanksgiving" talk about Hannukah (or Channukah, if you prefer) she made a comment about that being something "nobody else in the class had done,". The teacher then commented that "we will talk about this at Christmas." Even some of us who have never had a Bar Mitzvah know that Hannukah was VERY early in 2013 and it would be long over by the time she thought it was time to discuss it. Not a good recommendation as to their inclusiveness or sensitivity. My grandson has moved on to another, much better and less costly school in the Flagstaff District.
My child attended this school 2 years ago and we found it wasn't a good fit for us. The school discourages compassion in kids; they were more interested in high test scores and in making everyone understand how important they think they are. They were not encouraging real learning or fostering a lifetime love for learning. If high test scores and elitist, exclusive attitudes are your thing then by all means but if you want your kids to love learning and to be caring, inclusive, and compassionate individuals, this school is not the place for you.
Mountain school is not just a school but a community~ We have loved this school from the time the receptionist greeted us as we entered until this very day. I have 3 children who have attended or are still attending and even with all the new boundaries and charters coming in, we will still strongly support our school and our community because this environment is indeed rare. Come and see for yourself, I'm sure you'll agree.
My son is a 6th grader at Mountain. We cannot say enough about this wonderful school. The teachers and administration are dedicated and nurturing. Parental involvement is phenomenal. My son's reading, reasoning, and vocabulary have all increased in just the first 2 months he has attended this school.
This is my child's first year at Mountain, and we are thrilled with the transition. Her teacher communicates regularly with us regarding our child's progress and brings so much knowledge, patience, creativity, and experience to the classroom. As a bonus, the newsletters come home without grammatical errors!
I went to Mountain School for 7 years and adored it. I couldn't have been in a better environment and the faculty was awesome! I have no complaints for the Principal, she is one of the nicest people I have ever met.
We waited 2 years to get into this school and it was well worth it. This school is the most parent oriented school in flagstaff. Parent participation is a requirement in this school which makes everyone involved. In which today parents need to be more involved. School has excellent teachers with small student/teacher ratios. I would reccomend this school to anyone who wants an awesome school environment for their child/ren.
My two children have attended Mountain School for the last two years. Mountain School is a charter school and excels in many areas the public school lacks in. This school is very small in comparison to the local public schools. Every teacher at Mountain School is dedicated to teaching a broad curriculum, with math, reading, and writing also at its forefront. Mountain School gives students a progressive type of education that cannot be obtained at most public schools. As a teacher myself, Mountain School provides students with critical thinking activities like Odessey of the Mind and many 'hands on' experiences through numerous field trips (five or six per year, in comparison to one or two at most schools). The success of Mountain School not only comes from its involved and motivated teachers, but also the level of commitment from its parents. At Mountain School parent involvement is a must!
