New Germain PTA Web Site!

  • September 15, 2009 4:45 pm

First, I’d like to thank the dozens of families who have already signed up to help the PTA go paperless, save the school money, stay involved with their children’s education, and–lets face it–join the rest of 21st. Century. As of this writing, nearly 1/5 of the school’s families have already subscribed to receive PTA communications via email.

So, I want to tell you why we have asked you to give us permission to communicate with you online, what we have planned, how we’ll protect your privacy and that of your child, what you can expect in the future, and how you can participate. New Germain PTA Web Site! – Read more

Back to the Future

  • September 15, 2009 4:26 pm

I thought, since the underlying theme of this web site was connecting with our children through our school, these links might provide an immediate opportunity.

Ever wonder what Germain St. Elementary School looked like back in 1969, when many school parents weren’t even old enough to go there?

How about 1952? (Click on the images for a larger view.)

HistoricArials.com is a web site the whole family can enjoy and cross the digital divide together. (Then, try to explain to the kids how they took these photos without satellites.) Make sure you hit the “Pan Image” button at the top of the picture and tour the rest of the neighborhood at different points in history. You only have to go back to 1980 to see how Porter Ranch got its name, and how you could have safely told your kids to go play on the highway.

Enjoy! Happy time traveling!
