Why can't students go out to eat lunch?

Dear Raider,

Eating lunch out of the school building would be too much of a safety risk. It's a really big liability if we let students leave to get lunch and they somehow get hurt. There would also be the issue of finding a spot where the students would be able to sit and eat their lunch. Our principal has carefully reviewed this option before, but we have to take into consideration that the decision couldn't be made over night. Just be patient, somehow I feel that we would be able to soon.

                                                                                Sincerely,

                                                                                      Your friend the Crow

Why are guys so shy sometimes?

Dear Raider,

     That's just the way some guys are. They aren't very comfortable opening up with others. It might be because they lack self-confidence.

                                                                                       Sincerely,

                                                                                            Your friend the Crow

"Mr. Crow, do you think winter is over? I'm tired of snow."

Dear Sick of Snow,

                I’m not sure if we’re getting any more snow, but the first day of spring is March 20^th. Hang in there, warm weather is on its way!

                                                                                                                                

                                                                                            Sincerely,

Port Richmond High School Now CPR Smart 

by Larissa Poliseno

     Port Richmond High School has recently become the first CPR smart school.  As a part of the physical education and health program, The American Heart Association will give free CPR training to students. The American Heart Association donated equipment that will allow multiple students to be able to perform CPR at once. According to Melinda Murray, a spokeswoman for the American Heart Association, about 90 percent of victims of cardiac arrest do not survive, because they don't receive CPR in time. Melinda Murray Stated “Our mission is to help ensure that anyone who suffers cardiac arrest in New York City has a better shot at surviving - and to have CPR education in our schools is key to making this happen!" Borough President James Oddo is supporting Port Richmond becoming CPR smart and said that he hopes “this will inspire other Staten Island high schools to follow suit and get CPR training resources for their students."
