The Ridgewood Public Schools is assisting the Village of Ridgewood in distributing a survey on safe routes to school. Please take a moment to fill out this survey. I hear parents talk about this almost every day at pick up. This is your chance to voice your opinions and concerns about the safety of our children walking to and from school. The survey is brief; it only took me 3 minutes. The data collected will assist the Village in creating safer walking and biking conditions in the Village. Here is a link to the survey, which is open until Friday, June 24: http://tinyurl.com/RidgewoodSurvey
Former Art Director for Home Magazine, Heather Leahy Zachariah, left her career in publishing after baby number number one. She now works from home as a freelance graphic designer and a chauffeur to her 3 busy kids. "Working on TipsFromTown has been a wonderful outlet for me. It renewed my love of publishing where I can design colorful, enticing pages online and allows me to share the things I love about being a mom." Heather grew up in Shaker Heights, Ohio, a place that still is near and dear to her. " After living in Brooklyn for 18 years and studying Graphic Design at Pratt Institute, she now lives in the Jersey burbs. "I love living so close to NYC, but in my heart, I'm an Ohio girl."
