Community Agency Support: We have seven Information Tables that remain open for service providers at $25.00. This money will also go toward the cost of travel for the students. This is a great opportunity for providers to share information with parents from the community. This event is being held at the Schiller Park Senior Center on Genesee (please see attached flyer). If you are interested email Deborah Porter cs53-alumni@wobblee.com and I will forward a form for your registration and instructions on where to make payment. Why are doing this? We need your help and support. Too often our children are not afforded such opportunities because of poverty or working parents with low-income who cannot afford to send their children out of town but would love to be able to do such. This is a great opportunity to encourage our children to continually meet academic challenges, expose students to cultural activities outside of the Buffalo area and give them an opportunity to dream and believe in themselves as much as we do. Unfortunately, this will not happen without the support of the community. This is just one solution to recognizing student achievement! Please help us make it a success. Come out and support the event or purchase a picture for a parent to attend with their children. ]]>

Trump will save Kristi Noem — but shift her away from immigration: insiders
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is expected to keep her job after meeting at the White House with President Donald Trump to discuss her handling of the immigration enforcement operation in Minnesota that has led to the shooting deaths of two Americans.
The president is reportedly unhappy with Noem's response to the fatal shooting Saturday of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti by federal agents, and sources told CBS News that the DHS secretary was hit with questions about her leadership.
CBS reported that sources said Noem is not likely to be fired, but "her focus is expected to shift from immigration enforcement operations in the interior of the country to securing the southern border and other priorities."
"Noem and top aide Corey Lewandowski had elevated Border Patrol official Gregory Bovino and tasked him with overseeing highly publicized and controversial immigration raids in cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, Charlotte, New Orleans and, most recently, Minneapolis," CBS News reported.
"The move — intended to bolster President Trump's mass deportation campaign — marked a significant change in tactics because immigration matters in the country's interior have historically been handled by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, not Border Patrol."
Bovino was given a new title of "commander" and reported directly to Noem, which set off internal conflict over the aggressive campaign in the Minneapolis area. After the shootings of two 37-year-olds – Renee Good and Alex Pretti – this month, the administration removed him from the post and sent him back to California. He's expected to retire.
"One official said serious threats against Bovino in Minnesota, including death threats, factored into the administration's decision to pull him from the operation there," CBS News reported.
Trump dispatched his border czar Tom Homan, who reportedly has a chilly relationship with Noem, to lead the Minnesota operation, and government sources told CBS News they were not happy about remarks the DHS secretary and other top officials have made about Pretti's killing.
"When we gaslight and contradict what the public can plainly see with their own eyes, we lose all credibility and it's going to damage our reputation for generations," said one DHS official.
