Allen Road From page 1 by ARE staff and faculty. All proceeds made from the silent auction were donated to the North Area Meals on Wheels. “We raised $700 last year for a charity,� Rachetta said. “And somehow it turned into something more this year.� The dinner and silent auction raised $1,250 for NAMOW, which allowed the school to present the organization with a “big check.� “I was in awe of people’s generosity,� Rachetta said.
“Everyone was excited to donate and get to take something home, too.â€? Rachetta said the idea that people “get something in return and still helping made the community’s excitement show.â€? In addition to the dinner, the school participated in Aeropostale’s Jeans for Teens collection for Haiti. The Salvation Army also benefited from the school’s generosity with a large collection of blankets. Bins for both efforts were located in the entrance of the elementary school. ARE Principal Dave Lunden said he is “very proudâ€? of his school and the families who were so with Cleaning and X-Ray “generous during these New Patients (Town of Clay) • Exp. 9-1-10 financial times.â€? www.baldwinsvilledentist.com The entire North Syracuse Central School District has been making efforts to have students focus on “character building.â€? “The students aren’t talking, they’re actually Dr. Suzanne Shapero doing,â€?

students’ focus on serving the community. “We’ve taken something that was really a social event and turned it into a community outreach.� If their efforts were not already plenty, the school also gathered candy and assorted treats for troops serving overseas. Lunden said a PTO member, who has a brother serving in the military, suggested the school fill a “wish list� of items to send. “The idea evolved very quickly,� Lunden said. “It took a spin and we coupled ideas to make it a month-long effort.� The ARE cafeteria hosted a card-making area for the Valentine’s season so that students could make cards for the troops and to take home, also. After all their efforts, the school packed up 10 boxes to send to the American troops. When the school was ready to mail the care packages, one classroom’s added generosity made the effort even more special, Rachetta said. The school was also collecting box tops to raise school funds during the Labor of Love month. The class with the most box tops would win a pizza party for its efforts. However, ARE teacher Trisha Nelson’s fourth-grade class opted to have the pizza party so the money could be used to ship the packages overseas, which can sometimes be very costly, according to Lunden. Overall, the school collected more than 200 blankets for the Salvation Army and more than 280 pairs of jeans for Aeropostale’s Jeans for Teens Haiti relief effort. “One good deed leads to another,� Rachetta said. “I can’t wait to see what will happen next year.�

REAL ESTATE MATTERS
At any given time there are always people looking to buy a house. These individuals are a Sellers new best friend. However, this ready-to-go Buyer will be wasted if your home is overpriced for the market. Buyers show around and compare properties the same way you’d shop for an appliance. See what model you want and find it for the best terms. Some Realtors
FOR A GOOD CAUSE: Above, sporting a “big check� for $1,250, from left, is Donna Barrett of North Area Meals On Wheels, Barb Ackerman-Rachetta, Labor of Love event coordinator, and Allen Road Elementary Principal Dave Lunden. RIGHT: Village of North Syracuse Mayor Diane Browning browses through the many handpainted ceramic bowls. Each bowl received bids with a silent auction. All proceeds from the Labor of Love Valentine’s Dinner were presented to NAMOW.
Eventually the buying public sets an accurate price for all home sales. Don’t let your home be the one that everyone uses as that bad example. We may end up selling one priced more realistically (even if it is not as nice.) We can help you determine appropriate pricing and a strategy to be successful.

During their lunch periods on March 10, CiceroNorth Syracuse sophomores, juniors and seniors visited with employers who are seeking part-time and summer employees. The purpose of the Fair is to give students an opportunity to meet employees on a one-to-one basis, so they could learn about area employment for the remainder of the school year and during the summer months. According to Career Education Teacher/Coordinator Ellie Peavey, students had the opportunity to complete applications and schedule job interviews with the businesses in attendance. Many had worked with Peavey in advance to be able to present a resume when they talked with the employers. The goal of the Career Center is to encourage every student to develop a workforce prepaPlease see Fair, page 15
