By Jessica Stewart, Courier Editor-in-Chief

“The sounds of birds awakening, cars driving by, and the relentless, rhythmic beating of her heart swarmed her mind. She wished she could deny the morning. She wished she could be reborn as someone else, someone…normal.”

Suddenly they all seemed fascinating, and she wondered why she hadn't thought to write about the beheading of Anne Boleyn, Magellan's explorations, or the excommunication of Queen Elizabeth I.

What if a simple subject for a mid-term paper could change your whole world around in a instant? Would doing something you don't know much about really go as you planned it? Could you get all you wanted just but saying some words and lighting some candles? Kate Morgan is on a journey to find just that out.

The New Haven Unified School District and the California School Employees Association have reached a tentative agreement on a three-year contract, through June 2011.

“Combined with the contracts that we reached last spring with the New Haven Teachers Association and the New Haven Administrators Association, the agreement with CSEA gives our community three more years of labor peace,” said Associate Superintendent for Personnel Derek McNamara, lead negotiator for the District.
