SO it be declared, Spring Has Sprung in 2024. Readers of this website are fully aware that any other declaration of Spring’s arrival is immaterial, and possibly plagiarism.

DO you know what percent of applicants get into Stanvard? The answer, 3.2%, is significantly higher than the percent of kids in LIC that secure a place in the Gantry Park Easter Egg Hunt each year.

IF your teenager is serious about possibly pursuing art as a career, then there’s a program right here in LIC for her/him.

I like to hearken, and those days may have passed, but there’s still no lack of need for the next generation to take up the reins and build on what their forefathers from a decade ago built on. Right now we seem to be on cruise control.
