A WORD OR TWO FROM ME
by Karen E. Jarosz
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah June. Summer is knocking on the door and schools are letting out. I'm just finishing up my 22nd year teaching and my first year teaching 5th grade. What a wonderful learning experience it was! I learned so very much from my 5th grade students as well as my grade level teammates. Seems you can teach an old dog new tricks! While my students will be moving up and onward to Middle School my hope is that I have in some way had a positive impact or influence on them. I don't just mean in subject matter such as Math or Social Studies but in being a good person. It is my belief that teachers have a tremendous responsibility and an even larger opportunity to help students in navigating their way through this thing we call life! My deepest desire and goal is to give my best to my students and that in the end they will reap the rewards of our time together. I am sure if each one of us thinks back to our school years we can recall a teacher we loved. We didn't love them for the subject matter or the grades they gave us but rather because of the person they were and that they cared, showed interest in us and above all they believed in us. So here's to all those dedicated teachers out there who give their all, thank you!  
Until June 22nd, thank a teacher and congratulations to all those who have graduated this season
Karen

PS - Starting June 1st we will be resuming our summer publishing schedule. That means receiving the Bulletin EVERY Monday for June, July and August packed with Local events to enjoy at the Shore!!

The Barbaric Bean Celebrates 1-Year Anniversary!
An historic event recently occurred in Ocean Grove, NJ: Barbaric Bean Coffee Roasters celebrated its one-year anniversary. We stormed the gates of this boomin' beach town on February 23, 2008. Since that time we have met thousands of wonderful customers, trained over 25 staff members, weathered the summer wave of tourists and guests to Ocean Grove.

From: mikespet@comcast.net
MIKE'S PET CENTER in Neptune has a new pet!
Mike has adopted a 6 year old female Kinkajou named Kaytie.
What is a Kinkajou? It is a mammal that is native to South Americas tropical  forest and is in the same family as the raccoon, but Kaytie originally came from a private breeder in Kansas. Some interesting facts are they have a prehensile tail and they can turn their feet backwards to run either way. She likes a lot of tropical fruits and they also like honey and that is how they got a nickname "Honey Bear" but one of her favorite treats is marshmallows. Kinkajous are nocturnal and are very sweat but shy animals. They live to be about 25years old.
