Playgrounds Cost a Fortune, But are Worth Every Penny
The Fortune School, a public charter school serving grades K-3, recently opened in Stockton Square Plaza at 6829 Stockton Boulevard (at 65th Street) in Sacramento.
Although the school offers indoor yoga classes, they do not have a playground for the children. They have already raised $16,000 towards their goal of $30,000 to build one. The school is asking for your financial support as well as volunteers to help build the playground over the MLK Day weekend of January 14-16, 2012.
For more information, or to sponsor, please contact Carmy Preston at cpreston@fortuneschool.us or call 916-924-8633.

The Midnight Train to Georgia?
While it’s not possible to take a midnight Sacramento Regional Transit (RT) light-rail train all the way to Georgia, it may soon be possible to once again ride the trains locally late at night.
As reported in the June 27th edition of The Sacramento Bee, transit officials are considering extending light-rail service to around 12:30 am. Currently, the trains end at 9:30 pm. RT is also looking at restoring bus line service on Florin Road and Stockton Boulevard. These proposed changes are the result of an upswing in sales-tax revenue which makes up nearly half of RT’s operating budget. RT cautions, though, that it could take until 2017 for service levels to match those of 2009.
