Dear Reader,
Welcome back to school! Although I am stuffy and sniffling from a summer cold, my thoughts are turning to the school year ahead, and I have a favor to ask.
Will you take a minute to hit reply and tell me “What can I do to make your school year easier?” I would love to hear your thoughts about topics I should write about, or anything I can do to make this weekly newsletter more helpful for you.
Thanks!
See ya on the Net,
Barbara J. Feldman

On Tuesday, September 11, 2001, nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four commercial jets and crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York, and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Including the first responders (such as firefighters, police officers and paramedics) nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks. As the tenth anniversary approaches, it is time to reflect on the tragedy and remember the fallen.
