If there is one thing us “Cranstonites” can agree on, it is that we have one of the best districts in the state of RI with some of the most fantastic, gifted, teachers and elementary school children (if I do say so myself*lol).

Ani was tragically taken from her parents this week, on March 26th,2015, in a horrific traffic accident involving a public RIPTA bus in Providence, RI. She was only 9 years old.

The fact that a school board meeting was needed on this issue is insane. The complaining parent and school officials should be ashamed of themselves for teaching that form of ignorance to children.

It was basically a hypothetical question that challenges us to think about what happens to a person’s inner soul when they are tricked into suppressing their life dream. Of course, his writings were in relation to the race struggles of…
“Come on Noni! Walk faster! We are going to be late!” her sisters chime. Five year old Noni and her two older sisters Beautiful and Gorgeous are walking to school with her like they do every morning. Seeing an upcoming puddle of water on the ground, her sisters both grab her by each arm…
Art is a beautiful expression. A way to color the world in creative color and unique expression. For some, that craft comes from studying art, learning about impressionist painters, or practicing an art form until it is mastered letting their creativity shine. For Stephen Wiltshire, a young man with Autism, his school is his mind…
Creating “Barbie Doll land” is a long, meticulous process for little eleven year old Noni complete with a decorated house with Corvette, attached Lego fencing, character choice creation, furniture placement and her beloved Hot dog stand.
