And the Somerset Elementary School artificial turf playground is coming apart. #surprised? #2YearsOld

The picture to the left shows a section of the Somerset Elementary School playground where the artificial turf is coming apart at a seam.

The picture below shows the temperature of the Somerset Elementary School artificial turf playground on July 14th.  Should children be playing on a surface that is 146 degrees?  Do the children go out for recess when the field is 146 degrees during the school year?

The Somerset Elementary School parents were allowed by the Board of Education to raise money to put in their own artificial turf field.  Who is going to be funding the repairs to this two year old artificial grass field?

From WUSA: Teen charged in N. Potomac crash that killed 2 students

According to the WUSA9 Website:

POTOMAC, Md. (WUSA9) -- A former quarterback at Wootton High School is being charged in the fatal North Potomac crash that left two Wootton High School students dead in June.
Samuel Ellis, 19, is being charged with five counts in the death of the students, officials said. He faces 23 years in prison should he be convicted.

 Links to the charging documents may be found here: or here:  http://bit.ly/1Qe7A5C​

Unfortunately, the message from Whitman's principal is that parents should stop hosting parties in their homes.

Sorry, Mr. Goodwin, that's not the real issue. House parties are not the sole issue.
Wootton kids  have not learned from this horrific accident.  Just a few weeks ago, Homecoming Weekend saw many kids all dressed up heading into Fallsmead Park.  I don't think they were there just to talk. 
Someone - parents, adults, teachers, must let the kids know that drinking, drugs, and driving don't mix.  In a park, bar, or in the parents homes
