Volunteers From First Presbyterian Help Build High School in Mexico

As part of a mission trip with the First Presbyterian Church of Birmingham, a dozen Birmingham residents helped build a secondary school building in the impoverished Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico.

In Birmingham, there is no question in middle school graduates’ minds that the end of summer vacation marks the beginning of another, unavoidable school year.

Meagan: If my question was inappropriate it's because the school board and the local media does a lousy job of explaining to the public what a specific tax is and/or is not. The language used on the ballot uses terms that many laypeople are not familiar with and little is done to clarify it in simple English for us simple taxpayers. I'm not sure what you meant by the statement that "...the …   more ›
