community focus Poe Elementary in Pullman Earns National Blue Ribbon School Recognition Chicago --The high academic performance of a diverse population of students from Edgar Allen Poe Elementary School garnered the first-ever National Blue Ribbon award for a CPS elementary school on the city’s South Side. Poe Elementary is one of only 16 public schools in Illinois and 342 schools nationwide to be honored with this distinction in 2017.

The U.S. Department of Education announced Poe Elementary School’s new Blue Ribbon honor during a visit recently with: Mayor Rahm Emanuel; Forrest Claypool, CEO, Chicago Public Schools; Representative Elgie R. Sims, Jr.; Eric Dockery, Principal; and the students and parents of the K-6TH grade school at 10538 South Langley Avenue in the historic Pullman neighborhood. Poe is among approximately 300 schools nationwide that will be honored at a recognition ceremony later this year in Washington, D.C. The award honors public and private elementary, middle, and high schools that are either academically superior or have made dramatic gains in student achievement and helped close gaps in achievement among minority and disadvantaged students.

“Thanks to the commitment and passion for education and the ability of our teachers, staff, students and parents to work collaboratively, Poe Elementary is creating a learning environment that every child deserves while building a brighter and better future for the community,” said 9th Ward Alderman Anthony Beale. “The honor underscores the resurgence of Pullman -- the comeback community,” added Alderman Beale.

Poe is a selective enrollment classical school serving approximately 200 students on Chicago’s South Side in the historic Pullman community. As a classical school, Poe is open to children throughout Chicago, but most of its students live on the South Side. Poe prides itself on creating a family environment where deep personal connections are formed between parents, staff, and students.

1 “This award is a testament to Poe’s dedicated school community, and today, the South Side of Chicago is beaming with pride as we are recognized with this prestigious honor,” said Poe Principal Eric Dockery. “We’re proud of Poe’s accomplishments and this award is an affirmation that we’re on the right track and making progress on behalf of our students. It is an honor that will inspire us to work even harder to provide the best possible educational experience for our students.”

The U.S Department of Education’s Blue Ribbon Schools program honors schools based on one of two criteria: • Schools whose students, regardless of background are high performing. They are ranked among the state’s highest performing schools as measured on state assessments or, in the case of private schools, which score at the highest performance level on tests referenced by national norms in at least the most recent years tested.

• Schools with at least 40% of their students from disadvantaged backgrounds that improve student performance to high levels as measured by the school’s performance in state assessments, or nationally normed tests.

The state’s chief education officer nominates public schools and the Council for American Private Education submits private school nominations. The schools are then invited by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Education to submit an application for possible recognition as a Blue Ribbon School.

CAU PRESIDENT SHARES THE IMPORTANCE OF ATTENDING HBCU’S Continued from Page 1

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

As Clark Atlanta University (CAU) President Ronald A. Johnson recently returned to Chicago for the 20th Annual Football Classic, Johnson spoke with the Citizen on the importance of students attending Historic Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU).

Johnson said he was very excited for CAU to be invited back to the annual Football Classic because the Classic represents one of the great, long traditions of HBCU’s.

Second to Atlanta, Chicago sends the largest pool of student applicants to CAU and this year’s Football Classic provided more than $1.7 million in scholarships.

“The Chicagoland is a major market for us in terms of student applicants and we enjoyed coming to Chicago because it’s a great city,” he said.

Johnson explained that HBCU’s were defined in the Higher Education Act of 1965 as institutions that provide higher education for Black people.

“HBCU’s were founded to be inclusive,” he said. “They were not founded to be exclusively for Black people but inclusive for people who were excluded. The other major state institutions excluded Black people but Black folks didn’t exclude anyone.”

Johnson continued to say it’s important that HBCU’s continue to provide Black youth with opportunities that match their gifts and talents for today’s global world.

“We have to make sure our youth are given the opportunities to excel because if they don’t excel then they’re going to just look back,” he said. “Then corporations will turn to China to get talent and if you’re not in the talent line, then you, your family and community will be ignored and become irrelevant to the future.”

Johnson explained that his parents weren’t able to complete high school but encouraged him to further his education and as a result, he obtained a PHD. Grammy-Award winning rapper, social activist and philanthropist, Chance the Rapper recently expressed his desire to attend Clark Atlanta University (CAU) on Twitter.

“I was [trying] to go to Clark ATL,” tweeted the 24-year-old rapper. “I’m still [trying] to go. Like not honorary, the full blown you dig. Can someone help me sign up?”

Chance, whose real name is Chancellor Bennett, was raised on the South Side of Chicago and recently contributed one million dollars to the Chicago Public School system.

During the Football Classic, Chance told CAU Officials that he wanted to apply his ‘creativity in a stimulating environment,’ according to a CAU press release.

Dr. Nsenga Burton, Chair and Professor of New Media Production at CAU, said he discussed with Chance about the opportunities that CAU’s Mass Media Arts Department could offer him along with the universities’ Africana Studies and Political Science majors. To learn more about CAU, visit www.cau.edu.

LAW & POLITICS

Pro-choice measure becomes law SPRINGFIELD – In response to Governor Bruce Rauner’s signature of a prochoice measure, Senator Patricia Van Pelt (D-Chicago) said the measure was a victory for pro-choice activists. “Governor Rauner kept his promise to protect a woman’s right to make her own health care decisions no matter what. When the governor threatened to change his position on this legislation, people across the state took action to remind him how important women’s reproductive rights are. Regardless of a woman’s income or any changes to federal law, every woman in Illinois should have the right to decide what is best for her health without government interference,” she said.

The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc. announce the election of a new National President

The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Incorporated (NCBW), whose mission is to advocate on behalf of black women and girls to promote leadership development and gender equity in the areas of health, education, and economic empowerment, recently announced the election of Virginia W. Harris as its ninth (9) National President at the 18th Biennial Conference on September 23, 2017, in Baltimore, MD. The National Coalition of 100 Black Women (NCBW) was launched on October 24, 1981, with representatives from 14 states and the District of Columbia, and selected Jewell Jackson McCabe as its first National President.

A twenty-six-year member of the Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter, President Harris has consistently demonstrated her leadership abilities through successfully serving at both the national and local chapter levels. For the past thirteen years, she has served as First Vice President of Programs, Vice President of Finance and Fund Development, National Treasurer; and she has chaired several national committees.

President Harris brings more than 41 years of successful leadership and organizational experience with professional and civic organizations.

Educationally, she holds a Masters of Public Administration degree, Bachelor of Business Administration degree, is a Certified Internal Auditor and Certified Government Financial Manager.

With extensive fund-raising experience and accomplishments, President Harris has developed and successfully executed major fund-raising initiatives for many non-profit organizations, to include: over $550,000 for the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc., over $900,000 for the Metropolitan Atlanta Chapter of 100 Black Women and a combined total of over $1.7 million for other non-profit organizations.

“I look forward to the opportunity to serve the coalition by building upon their current successes and propelling the NCBW to its next era of greatness,” says President Virginia Harris. “I am “ready to lead NCBW to role model performance!” she added.

City of Chicago and Community Leaders Join U=U Campaign as Part of New Effort to Reduce HIV Transmissions to Zero

The Chicago Department of Public Health (CDPH) recently announced that both the City of Chicago and Chicago’s primary HIV advisory body, the Chicago Area HIV Integrated Services Council (CAHISC), have joined more than 390 organizations from 56 countries in supporting the U=U Campaign. The move is part of Chicago’s latest efforts to reach zero new HIV infections in the next decade. U=U, which stands for Undetectable = Untransmutable, raises awareness worldwide about the effectiveness of HIV treatment and to destigmatize the disease.

“HIV treatment works,” said Chicago Department of Public Health Commissioner Dr. Julie Morita. “We are proud to join U=U as we continue to fight to get to zero and ensure that every Chicagoan living with HIV receives the treatment they need to keep themselves and their partners healthy.”

U=U, a campaign created by Prevention Access, promotes scientific evidence that shows a person living with HIV who has had an undetectable viral load in their blood for at least 6 months cannot transmit the virus sexually to his/her partners. Previous language and studies suggested that there was small risk but the risk has been found to be negligible, or so statistically insignificant that it is not worth considering.

By joining the campaign, Chicago takes a vocal stand to embrace HIV treatment as an effective method for preventing new HIV infections.

This means that when a Chicago resident living with HIV is in treatment and reaches viral suppression, that individual is no longer at risk for transmitting the virus sexually to partners.

JB Pritzker Opens North Side Campaign Office

JB Pritzker recently opened a new JB for Governor campaign office on the North Side of Chicago. This is the seventh office opened across the state as the campaign continues to build a statewide, grassroots field operation.

While speaking at the opening, JB highlighted his priorities for investing in quality education, creating jobs, and expanding healthcare for Illinois families.

Author and illustrator Javaka Steptoe recently conducted an art workshop at the Harold Washington Library Center (HWLC). The event was hosted by the Chicago Public Library (CPL) and included 300 second and third grade students Steptoe is the 2017 recipient of the American Library Association’s Randolph Caldecott Medal and Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award for his book Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist John Michel Basquiat, according to a CPL press release.

Elizabeth McChesney, director of children services and family engagement for the Chicago Public Library, explained that during the art workshop Steptoe discussed his new book Radiant Child: The Story of Young Artist John Michel Basquiat.

“Radiant Child is about The Story of Young Artist John Michel Basquiat, which allows kids to find their own voice through recycled objects, construction paper and simple art materials,” she said.

“We love to do this event at the Chicago Public Library because it helps deepen kids’ creativity, their connection to Steptoe’s book and [it] strengthens

their literacy skills,” McChesney said. “It’s also empowering for kids to tell their own stories and that is a message of Steptoe’s work.”

Students also participated in a hands-on, introductory tour of the new STEAM-focused Thomas Hughes Children’s Library at HWLC, according to a CPL press release.

“Art is an important vehicle for self-expression during childhood and it’s also important in developing creativity, which is a critical 21st century learning skill,” McChesney said. “We have kids solving problems, collaborating and communicating together and hitting all of the important 21st century skills.”

McChesney said the children enjoyed seeing Steptoe in his true artistic form.

Steptoe’s debut work included, “In Daddy’s Arms I Am Tall: African Americans Celebrating Fathers, an anthology featuring poetry from notable poets, including Folami Abiade, Dinah Johnson and Carole Boston Weatherford, Angela Johnson and Sonia Sanchez, which earned him his first Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award, in 1998.

National Voter Registration Day Encourages Minorities to Vote

By Christopher Shuttlesworth

National organizations recently celebrated the sixth annual National Voter Registration Day (NVRD), which is a nationwide effort that encourages hundreds of thousands of eligible voters to register to vote.

Jeanette Senecal, senior director of elections for the League of Women Voters (LWV) said nearly a quarter of Americans are not registered to vote, including a high number of young adults, people of color and low-income individuals.

“Twenty-five percent of eligible voters are missing the opportunity to vote because they’re not registered to vote is really a big hurdle,” she said.

Senecal said LWV has affiliates in 50 states and 700 communities and reaches individuals who are most likely to be unregistered. They also work with people who didn’t have an opportunity to register during voter registration drives.

“The whole point of National Registration Day is to create more energy around registering and voting and making it a celebratory activity,” she said. “Also, this Day continues to bring in corporations, celebrities and nonprofits together.”

Senecal said due to National Voter Registration Day’s efforts, 1.4 million people have registered

around the country.

LWV focuses on helping high school students, specifically African Americans in low-income communities, prepare to register to vote because they currently have a low voter registration rate.

“We’re really trying to get in those communities to make sure the students are getting registered to vote and increasing their registration activities,” Senecal said. “Just a tiny increase can have a major impact for any group. Ten high school students who turn out to vote could make a difference.”

She continued to explain that people don’t realize how votes towards local races continue to impact their daily lives.

“People don’t connect voting to how much money is going into building playgrounds or public libraries’ activity,” she said. “Small things that impact people on a daily basis are really impacted by who they elect into office and until we have people of the general population turning out to vote, then we’re never going to have elected officials who represent the need of our great country.”

Voters nationwide can find out if they have elections, their states’ voter registration deadlines, and information about who is on the ballot in their area at VOTE411.org.

DR. BRIAN MORAN RECOGNIZED AS AARP ILLINOIS 50@50+ AWARD RECIPIENT Dr. Brian Moran, Medical Director of the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Chicago, has been recognized as a recipient of AARP Illinois’ first-ever 50@50+ Award. He is the only medical physician on this year’s list.

“Individuals ages 50 and older make tremendous contributions to their communities. But these trailblazers’ efforts often go unnoticed and unrecognized,” said AARP Illinois State President Rosanna Marquez. “That is why AARP Illinois and Crain have launched 50@50+ - to honor those great Illinois disruptors who think outside the box, and go the extra mile to help make life better for all.”

Dr. Moran is an honoree in the Disruptor category, exemplifying individuals who “show us how to embrace opportunity and change the way society looks at getting older,” according to an AARP Illinois press release.

The nomination letter wrote, “Over 30 years of

practice, helping one man at a time, Dr. Moran’s small victories have added up to improving men’s lives across the Midwest. Men walk away from Dr. Moran’s educational programs less worried and confused about prostate cancer prevention. With Dr. Moran’s guidance, men make confident decisions for their own treatment. Twenty years and 20,000 men later, it is sufficient to say that Dr. Moran’s research and outreach has saved lives.”

Along with 49 amazing Illinoisans, Dr. Moran will be recognized in the November 6th issue of Crain’s Chicago Business and at a recognition event on November 7th.

Three Reasons Not To File A Claim For That Fender Bender (NAPSI)—Although you’ll almost certainly want to have your insurance company cover the cost of a car accident involving multiple cars and serious damage, with plenty of other crashes, you may want to simply cover the cost yourself. Here are some conditions and situations when that option can make sense. The more of these that apply, the more you should consider simply paying the damage yourself.

The Damage Cost Is Close To Your Deductible Any damage you do to another vehicle is covered under the liability component of your policy, while damage you inflict on your own car will be handled through your collision or comprehensive insurance, assuming you have such coverage (some people drop it for older vehicles).

If you estimate the damage inflicted to your car to be below your deductible, or even slightly above it, you should just handle the repairs out of pocket. If the damages are $300 but the deductible is $200, you would save just $100 by filing a claim and your premiums could easily rise by more than that in the long run.

You Alone Are Involved

In an accident with no more than two drivers, where neither is injured and the damage appears to be minimal, you can both agree to not call the insurance company. There are, however, several reasons to be cautious about doing that.

The first is that the other driver can at any time renege on the agreement to not involve the insurance companies. A second is that even seemingly minor fender benders involving two cars can be far pricier to fix than most drivers would expect—in the thousands of dollars, for even a slow-speed (say, 10 mph) collision.

The upshot here? Not involving the insurance company is best reserved for mishaps that involved your vehicle alone, or one in which you know, or have other reason to trust, the other driver.

Going it alone on a minor solo crash can spare you long-term pain. That’s because filing too many claims through your insurer can cause your rates to soar, possibly costing you hundreds if not thousands over the years following the claim.

The effect of making a claim varies by the state, the insurer and how long it is since you submitted a claim, if at all. But the hikes can be hefty—20 percent or more, according to research by the finance experts at ValuePenguin.

Six Amazing Secrets Behind Your Smile (NAPSI)—Each smile is unique. What does yours say about you?

Your Teeth Tell Your Story Scientists can learn a great deal about people based on their teeth. Teeth can reveal people’s age, diet and where they live.

Teeth can also display signs of stress or illness, providing researchers with a detailed history of a person’s life and health.

Teeth Mark Your Individuality Your teeth are as unique as your fingerprints. No two teeth— even two teeth in the same person’s mouth—are the same.

Each of your 20 baby teeth and 32 permanent teeth has its own profile and varies in shape and size.

They’ve Been With You Since Birth

Your teeth were always there—even if no one could see them at first. You are born with the crowns of your baby teeth beneath your gums. These teeth make their entrance when you’re 3 to 6 months old.

The crowns and roots of your permanent teeth form beneath your baby teeth, eventually pushing them out of the way and triggering a visit from the Tooth Fairy.

Teeth Survive Long After Death The enamel on teeth is stronger than any other part of the body—so strong that it can remain intact for hundreds of years after someone dies. Studying the teeth of human ancestors has taught scientists

some fascinating things about history. For example, studies of dental remains have found evidence that the first travelers to leave Africa for China set out about 80,000 years ago and that early humans used a simple form of aspirin for pain relief. Even the toughest substance in the body needs regular care, however.

Your Teeth Are Tough, But They Need Your Help There are more than 300 different types of cavity-causing bacteria. They feed on leftover sugar in your mouth, creating acids that leave small holes in your teeth. Protect your teeth by brushing twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between your teeth once a day, and eating a healthy diet that limits sugary drinks.

Who Cares About Your Teeth?

Your dentist does. In addition to daily home care, your teeth need regular dental cleanings and checkups. Visit https://findadentist.ada.org for a nearby American Dental Association dentist who will work with you to help protect one of your most unique features—your smile.

5 meltingly great grilled cheese recipes for autumn (BPT) - Are you noticing a golden hue to the sunlight, the earthy aroma of bonfires and a slight chill in the evening air?

As autumn officially kicks in Sept. 22, we’re turning our thoughts to all the good things that come with the season, including football, cozy sweaters, apple orchards, Halloween, Thanksgiving and the warm comfort food that pairs well with crisp fall days.

A longtime cool-weather favorite is the classic grilled cheese sandwich in all its crisp, meltingly gooey varieties. These days, restaurants and at-home chefs are serving up the deeply satisfying American concoction with a number of scrumptious toppings designed to pair in perfect gourmet harmony with the flavors of the bread and cheese. The sky is really the limit when it comes to devising new takes on the classic dish. In the autumn that may mean pairing traditional favorites with seasonal choices such as sliced apples, pumpkin or even Thanksgiving dinner leftovers.

The perfect canvas for such creations is Sara Lee’s new Artesano Golden Wheat Bread, featuring thick, flourdusted slices that crisp up beautifully and stand up to all of your filling choices without overpowering their flavors. It’s baked with a touch of honey, olive oil and sea salt, but no high-fructose corn syrup, added colors or artificial flavors. A few autumn grilled cheese recipes featuring the delectable bread variety: * Apple Picker’s Harvest: Thinly sliced freshly picked apples, brie and some smoked ham onto your bread, slathering on a bit of honey and thyme butter before your creation hits the grill or pan.

The results are perfect for a fall picnic or family lunch

before hitting up the corn maze. * Nine-Layer Dip: If you’re a fan of the classic seven-layer dip (chopped layers of pepper jack cheese, refried beans, avocado, corn and pickled red onions), you’ll love this savory concoction sprinkled with cilantro and grilled between buttered bread slices. Cook up a warm, gooey batch for the gang gathering around the TV for the next big game, or bring it to your next game-side tailgate. * Pumpkin Mac: Whip up your favorite mac and cheese recipe, season it with pureed pumpkin, top it with gouda and bacon, add slices of Golden Wheat bread and get busy grilling. The sweetness of the pumpkin balances the bacon’s saltiness for a gourmet treat that may well become your family’s new favorite. * Halloween Grilled Cheese: Concoct a boo-tiful sweet-and-salty combo of brie, creamy mascarpone and chopped chocolate and peanut butter candy bars (leftover from trickor-treating), then top the mixture with a thin layer of raspberry jam. You’ll be amazed how the flavors complement each other when melted and bookended with warm, crispyet-fluffy wheat bread. * Gooey Gobbler: Optimize that mouthwatering leftover turkey by spreading it with cranberry jam, sage butter and gouda slices, perfecting your dream sandwich on the griddle and enjoying every balanced, blended bite. The taste will have you wishing every day was Black Friday.

SPEAK LIFE When taking up the critical work involved in modifying the direction in which our lives may be going, one of the most fundamental things we can do is change the way we think about ourselves. Unfortunately, we sometimes overlook this simple, if not so easy step.

Whether we realize it or not, the way we think becomes the basis upon and from which we speak and act. Rare is the occasion when we outperform the things we declare about ourselves.

In order to speak life, we must think life. When we change the way we think, we immediately empower ourselves to change the way we speak.

Being responsible for the way we think, speak, and believe gives us the immediate ability to respond when life seems out-of-whack. There are more than enough challenges in the world already and sometimes life can be really difficult. Why add to the difficulties by discouraging yourself every day with negative self-talk. As it has been said, “Do not fill your boat with water. The storm will do that all on its own.”

Each of us needs a champion, a coach, and a cheerleader. Become your own encourager, your own cheerleader.

Every time you do a good job, do not just let it pass; give yourself a compliment. Every time you choose discipline over indulgence, do not tell yourself that you should have anyway; recognize how much you are helping yourself. When you make a mistake, learn from it and improve, but do not beat yourself up and relive the mistake without getting the lesson. Be patient with yourself.

You may not be a finished work just yet. Every constructive thing you can say to yourself will help. Speak life!

GREGALAN WILLIAMS STARS IN “A QUESTION OF FAITH”

In A Question of Faith, GregAlan Williams portrays Farnsworth Newman, a retiring pastor who transitions from leading his flock to leading his family as a moral compass and voice of wisdom.

Pastor DAVID NEWMAN is a loving husband and father, set to take over his dad’s church while neglecting the promises he’s made to his 12-yearold son, ERIC. KATE HERNANDEZ is a spiritually driven single-parent and owner of a local restaurant.

Her daughter MARIA is a free-spirited teenager aspiring to be the first in her family to go to college.

JOHN DANIELSON is the owner of a failing construction company who sees his daughter MICHELLE’s fledgling singing career as a way out of financial trouble.

The lives of these strangers collide when two twists of fate strike back to back. All three families find themselves at a crossroads, questioning their faith and the higher power that guides their lives.

As each family member deals with their issues, their worlds start to intertwine. This leads to a chain of events which unknowingly brings the three families closer and closer together.

Will the families give in to the loss, pain, and uncertainty that has shattered their lives or will they find the tie that binds them all together through hope, trust, redemption and goodwill?

(BPT) - Summer is coming to an end, and that means revisiting your bank account before heading into fall.

Whether it was vacations, get-togethers or concerts that did you in, summer always seems to come full of activities but doesn’t come cheap. As you head into the next season, it’s a great time to tighten your budget and see where you can potentially save.

Many people don’t know where to start when it comes to saving everything you spend on a daily basis can seem like a necessity! These seemingly small purchases add up in the end, but switching up your routine can help save you some money. Here are five simple ways to switch and save.

1. Switch to public transportation A lot of us rely on our own cars or popular rideshare apps to get from place to place, but one of the quickest ways to start saving is by taking advantage of public transportation. Instead of spending $10 here and there on gas and parking or rideshares, consider switching up your routine and relying on public transportation instead. Just be sure to buffer in some extra time in case of delays, but you’ll be able to get around for a fraction of the cost.

2. Switch to a new wireless provider Switching to a no-contract wireless provider, such as Straight Talk Wireless, is easy, and you’ll save on your monthly bill. With Straight Talk, there are no contracts, no credit checks and no mystery fees - plus you get nationwide coverage on America’s largest and most dependable 4G LTE network. With Straight Talk’s unlimited plans

starting at $35 a month, you can save on your monthly phone bill and get great deals on the best smartphones. And for a limited time, you can enjoy savings on smartphones like the iPhone SE for $129. With deals like this, you’ll be well on your way to savings!

3. Switch to your local library Instead of spending your precious, hardearned dollars on new books, visit your local library instead. Library cards are free to local residents, and many libraries even offer the luxury of reserving everything online - saving you time and money! That means free access to everything the library has to offer, including hard-copy books, e-books, magazines, podcasts, movies, music and more. Don’t spend your money on a book you’ll

read once when you can borrow it for free.

4. Switch to going to the park Getting together with your friends doesn’t always have to involve spending cash. Visiting your local park is a great alternative that’s free of charge. You can enjoy endless activities too, such as group sports, picnics and playing fetch with your dog. In addition, most parks offer a lineup of fun social activities to enjoy with your friends, such as screenings of popular movies and live music. Not to mention, the park can also substitute as your free gym.

Go for a jog or do some yoga surrounded by trees and flowers!

5. Switch to eating in This might be one of the hardest habits to change for most people. Having food show up at your doorstep (thank you, delivery!) is a blessing when you’re exhausted from work. However, it also racks up a hefty bill if it becomes a daily habit. Try giving yourself a limit to how many times you order in or dine out each week. Who says cooking is boring? Take a look at Pinterest for meal-prep recipes and spend a few hours on Sundays cooking for the entire week. You’ll save money while still eating delicious food, and who knows, you might just find your new favorite recipe!

For more information on Straight Talk and other ways to switch and save, visit your local Walmart or StraightTalk.com today! †To get 4G LTE speed, you must have a 4G LTE capable device and 4G LTE SIM. Actual availability, coverage and speed may vary. LTE is a trademark of ETSI.
