No one is telling you to send your children there yet. Send your children to private schools or magnets schools, but don't forget to keep ownership in your neighborhood schools. Make sure neighborhood schools are getting the technology, supplies and teachers they need to be excellent schools. In the past we have supported out local police precinct and the Plaza-Midwood Library. This year we are asking for contributions to Eastway Middle School.
All contributions are tax deductible.
As a Realtor and someone who has renovated and resold homes in the neighborhood, I have chosen to write about my experience. The best renovations I have seen are those that were in keeping with the original architectural features of the home. Don't try to make your home like a new one, but instead, think it the project as restoring the home to its original beauty. Details are important, such as, using original hardware and fixtures or retro new ones. A pedestal sink works in the bath much better than a newer cabinet drop-in.
