From Barbara Wohlforth
The best part about the Jan.31 meeting was that it was fun and productive! I realized that there aren't many times that I go to Steller as a parent when it is fun, where I go home feeling like I accomplished something. During the discussion, it hit me that I was really enjoying getting to know some of the parents and teachers that were in my group. This led me to daydream about having more all community social occasions. We all have so many things to do, and another meeting is definitely not what we want to do! But there isn't anything more important to fostering communication, understanding, and commitment than knowing people's names spending pleasurable time with them. So, how do we start that type of social event, something that kids and adults might look forward to? Food seems to be the tie that binds with this bunch. Would a monthly family potluck, perhaps with other enticements (family dance night, ping pong tournament, etc.) be fun? It seems like it would be pretty easy to do, if we schedule the MPR ahead of time and get the word out. Everybody has to eat, so an hour away from homework and other obligations can't really hurt too much. Is this an idea that other Stellerites could get behind?

Is there a way to block accounts from commenting? This sort of behavior is unacceptable - and if the person is a member of the Steller community then he/she should reevaluate actions taken and realize how immature he/she is being.
I've deleted the trash comments. Just let me know whenever anything like this appears, and it will disappear. It is possible to set up the blog so I have to review every comment before it is posted. I'd like to avoid that.
