The internet is infested with immorality and depravity. With all these environmental hazards, do you think this has no effect on your child? In today’s world it is almost impossible to shield our children from all this shmutz. Putting a paper bag over their heads just won’t work.

Vandals Smash Windows of Beis Rivka School Bus

Some time last night, the windows to this Beis Rivka School bus were smashed. The bus is kept in the Crown St. parking lot which is protected by razor tipped fence and and locked gates. The only way to get into the parking lot is through the school itself, so it’s likely that the vandals were some rowdy children from the community who were attending an event in the school hall.
