Some happy news from Sue Disbrow
that she would like to share:
" We are really proud of our son, Brent's performance
as Middle Linebacker in Varsity football at Prospect.
He is a senior and the picture was taken during his last game.
Prospect is out of the playoffs now, but they had a great
year and they all ( kids and coaches ) worked really hard
and the team won the MSL East Division Conference this year.
Brent won All Conference, All Academic and one of the highest
awards given each semester to the athletes, one per sport,
the Knightship Award, based on academics,
leadership and citizenship."
Congratulations to Brent for the fantastic achievement!!!
And Congrats to the proud parents!!

A Serious Note To Parents & Grandparents
The ingestion of hand sanitizer by children
can result in alcohol Poisoning.
Kids, toddlers, often taste everything,
it happens. But please call the Emergency
Room of your local hospital if you learn that
a child has eaten any hand sanitizer. It's so
alcohol concentrated that it only takes a few
licks of the stuff on a childs hands to possibly
cause a serious situation.
****SCAMMER ALERT****
Please be aware there is a Credit Card Scam going on!!!!!
People claim they are from Visa/MasterCard Security & Fraud Dept..
THEY NEVER ASK YOU YOUR CREDIT CARD NUMBER!!!!!!
They seem to be just confirming your information.
They Are After The 3 Digit Code On The Back Of Your Card!!!!
As if it isn't upsetting enough that they already know
your name & address, and they put you at ease by
never asking you for any information, they say they
are calling to protect you from fraudulent charges they
say are on your account. But, by giving them that 3 digit
number on the back of your card....they can now use your
card to make ONLINE purchases because most online stores
require you to provide that 3 digit security code.
If you have received such a call, call your card company immediately.
It is Much more difficult to dispute charges if they have provided
your 3 digit security code!!!
