* Math - Do you find yourself scratching your head with that confused look on your face when your child asks for help with their math? Well, scratch no more! Here is a link to a website that provides you with clear and direct explanations to some of those concepts you may have forgotten:

Word for the Week : grotesque - (adj.) comically or repulsively ugly or distorted
Since no one would buy the couch it had to be marked down drastically due to its grotesque pattern of blue, green, and pink
polka dots.

* All classes -
Happy Halloween, or rather, Happy All Hallows’ Even! The name “Halloween” really comes from a shortened All Hallows’ (holy/saintly people) Even (evening), which is the night before All Saints Day when the Church remembers and celebrates all those who have died and have gone to heaven. A lot of the traditions related to scary costumes, tricks, and treats date back to the Druids in Europe long before St. Patrick brought the Gospel to Ireland. So, in preparation for that scary and frightful night, don’t forget that there is a lot more tradition behind it than just candy and scaring each other! Be safe and have some good family fun!
