Grants For 4-Year-Olds To Enroll In Pre-K

0
Eligible 4-year-olds heading into pre-K during the 2021-2022 school year can now apply for On My Way Pre-K grants. Established in 2014 as a pilot program and expanded statewide in 2019 through laws I supported, On My Way Pre-K provides grants to low-income families to enroll their children in local, high-quality programs.

Pre-K helps young students learn important skills like following directions and working with others, as well as their 123s and ABCs. These skills provide a strong foundation for students as they enter kindergarten and throughout the rest of their lives.

To qualify for a grant for the upcoming school year, a child must be 4 years old by Aug. 1, 2021, and plan to start kindergarten in the 2022-2023 school year. They must also live in a household with an income below 127% of the federal poverty level and have a parent or guardian working, going to school, attending job training or searching for employment.

There is also a limited number of grants available for 4-year-olds who live in a household with an income up to 185% of the federal poverty level and with a parent or guardian who meets employment requirements, or who receives Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income Benefits.

Families can apply or learn more by visiting OnMyWayPreK.org or calling 800-299-1627.

HOOSIER HISTORY HIGHLIGHTS: FDR Visits Vincennes

June 13 – June 19

The Week in Indiana History
gavel

1885     The Indiana Supreme Court, in a case involving Switzerland County, upheld the authority of school boards to levy taxes in support of buildings and teacher salaries.  The unanimous decision of all five justices was written by Justice Byron Elliott.  In part, the ruling stated that “the system which has prevailed for eighteen years has carried our schools to a high state of prosperity and usefulness.”
horseshoes

100 YEARS AGO

1921     Horseshoe pitching was all the rage in Indianapolis city parks.  There were 78 municipal horseshoe courts, all illuminated by electric lights and open late into the evening.  Pitchers had their choice of seven city parks:  Ellenberger, Fall Creek, Riverside, Willard, Garfield, Spades, and Brookside, as well as the Riley Playgrounds.

FDR1936     President Franklin D. Roosevelt was in Vincennes to dedicate the George Rogers Clark Memorial.  In his speech, the President said, “On this spot it was made known that we were to have a nation, instead of a confederacy of seaboard states.”  A crowd of over 75,000 came to the ceremony, which included First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt and Indiana Governor Paul V. McNutt.  (Pictured:  A headline from the Lafayette Journal and Courier for June 15, 1936.)

Mary Stewart Carey

1938     Mary Stewart Carey died in Indianapolis.  A patron of the arts, she was active in the Daughters of the American Revolution, Civic Theater, and Matinee Musicale.  She was a leader in the movement to adopt a state flag and was one of the founders of the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and the Orchard School.
Garfield1978     Garfield the cat, a creation of cartoonist Jim Davis, made his first appearance in newspapers around the country.  Davis was born in Fairmount and grew up in Marion.  He had been drawing comic strips for several years when he came upon the idea of the mischievous feline.  Millions of fans follow Garfield’s adventures in over 2,100 newspapers each day.
Marker2018     An Indiana historical marker was placed in front of the Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Richmond.  It honors the work of Bishop William Paul Quinn, who assisted slaves on their way to freedom on the local Underground Railroad.  He also established more than 50 AME churches across the country, including the one in Richmond, which was founded in 1836.

Did You Know?

     The George Rogers Clark Memorial in Vincennes is considered to be the largest national monument outside of Washington, D. C.  It is on the site of the former Fort Sackville, a British outpost which was captured in 1779 by George Rogers Clark and his army of frontiersmen and Frenchmen.  The monument is 90 feet wide and 80 feet high.  Its exterior is made of granite.  Towering over the entrance is an eagle with outstretched wings.  Inside are seven murals painted by Ezra Winter and a bronze statue of Clark, created by Hermon Atkins MacNeil, the designer of the Standing Liberty Quarter.  The memorial, part of the National Park Service, is open seven days a week between 9:00 am and 5:00 pm.

Boomers take series opener against Otters

0

The Evansville Otters dropped the series opener of a three-game set against the Schaumburg Boomers Friday night by a final of 8-6.

 

The Otters took the first lead of the night in the bottom of the first, when three runs scored after back-to-back RBI singles from Bryce Denton and Dakota Phillips and a sacrifice fly to centerfield from Cristopher Pujols.

 

The Boomers quickly brought the Otters’ lead within one thanks to an RBI groundout from the recently acquired Matt Bottcher and an RBI single from Gian Martellini.

 

The Boomers took the lead in the top of the third inning, when reigning Frontier League Player of the Week Quincy Nieporte hit a three-run blast off of Otters starter Marty Anderson to right field. The Boomers then led 5-3.

 

The Otters answered with a run of their own in the third thanks to a two-out, RBI double from Josh Henderson.

 

Schaumburg pulled away again in the fourth by scoring two in the inning, after a double from Clint Hardy set up runners in scoring position with only one out — both would score, putting the score at 7-4 in favor of the Boomers.

 

Marty Anderson settled down again on the mound to pitch 1-2-3 innings in the fifth and sixth.

 

In the bottom of the sixth, the Otters came back within striking distance on an RBI hit from Andy DeJesus and sac fly from Riley Krane.

 

The Otters remained within one until Luke Becker scored in the top of the eighth on a Justin Felix passed ball.

 

Evansville managed to bring the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth after Elijah MacNamee walked to lead off the inning, but Darrell Thompson managed to strike out Dakota Phillips — who homered off Thompson last Sunday — to end the game.

Thompson earned the save, while Rozek earned the win and Anderson took the loss.

 

The Otters fall to 10-5 on the season, and will look to even the series with a win Saturday night. They send left-hander Anthony Arias to the mound. First pitch will be at 6:35 p.m. CT.

Saturday is Deaconess Employee Night and Superhero Night at the ballpark. For Superhero Night, fan-favorite characters will be in attendance, there will be themed hero music, and kids are invited to join the fun by wearing their favorite superhero costume.
