Okay, this is a double-whammy in our house because the hubby loves pizza and I love bagels and lox. Sorry I didn't check my source earlier today, but we know it now. Bon Appetit!

🇺🇸 Black History is American History
Almost 71 years ago (June 5th), mom graduated from Stanton High School in Jacksonville, FL. Under her photo in The Stantonian Yearbook, it notes her nickname was Pudding, her hobby was Reading, her vocation was Nurse Training, and she was a member of the Drill Team.
The school was built in 1868 and named after Edwin M. Stanton, President Abraham Lincoln's second Secretary of War. He was an ardent champion of human rights and an advocate of free school education for Negro boys and girls. At that time, it was the second school for black children in the entire state of Florida.
The original school mascot was 'The Blue Devil'. Because the wooden building was destroyed by fire and rebuilt twice in 1882 and 1902, 'The Phoenix Rising From Ashes' was later adopted as a second mascot. Both mascots are used today--The Blue Devil for sports and other activities, and The Phoenix as a symbol for the school itself.
There were no more fires but over time, the second wooden building deteriorated and was deemed unsafe. A fire-proof brick building was finally constructed in 1917, which was there by the time mom came along, and is still standing today. The school was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1983, and it is still educating students as Stanton College Preparatory School.
Mom always felt nothing but pride whenever she talked about her Alma Mater and its history of survival through racial adversity, destruction, and segregation. She was more than happy to tell anyone who asked that she graduated from Stanton High School in the Class of 1951.

📬 Carjackings: Email Warning From Police
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH MEN & WOMEN. BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE REAR WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE. NEW WAY TO DO CARJACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)...
Heads-Up Everyone!
You walk across the parking lot, unlock your car, and get inside. You start the engine and shift into reverse. When you look into the rearview mirror to back out of your parking space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you shift into park, unlock your doors, and jump out of your car to remove the paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the carjackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car, and take off. They practically mow you down as they speed off in your car. And, guess what ladies? More than likely, your purse is still in the car. So, now the carjacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised.
Beware of this new scheme that is now being used. If you see a piece of paper (or anything else) stuck to your rear window, just drive away. Remove it later and be thankful that you read this e-mail. Please forward this to family and friends, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of identification documents and personal information, and you certainly do NOT want it to fall into the wrong hands. Share this and keep it circulating!
For additional information from the police about other methods being used to stage carjackings, please click here to see my previous blog post on January 13th. There's a significant increase of these crimes in major cities around the country right now. Be aware of your surroundings at all times and stay safe!
