Rise School, Staff Assembly
sponsor school egg hunt
Students in the Rise School will take
part in an egg hunt sponsored by the Staff Assembly Wednesday March
27 in the playground behind the school.
The Staff Assembly’s community service committee suggested
sponsorship of an egg hunt because its members wanted to promote
interaction between the Rise School’s teachers and students
and the Staff Assembly,
said Mary Lane, chairwoman of the committee.
“We
did this because we want to support on-campus organizations and
because the children are so wonderful,” Lane said.
As
the kids search for the candy-filled, plastic eggs around the playground,
the Easter Bunny also has plans to hop onto the scene.

U.
Virginia tuition rises follow national trend
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (U-WIRE) —
While students at Virginia’s colleges and universities face
mounting tuition costs, institutions of higher learning throughout
the country also are charging their students more money to attend
school.
Tuition
increases have averaged 4 percent at public colleges over the past
five years, according to the Chronicle of Higher Education.
Two
schools most affected by tuition increases are University of North
Carolina-Chapel Hill and University of Iowa. North Carolina’s
tuition will increase by 20.9 percent for in-state students, while
Iowa will charge 19 percent more for in-state students next year.
Last
week Texas A&M University announced it will charge $30 more
per credit hour, the largest tuition increase in the school’s
history, while University of California is considering a 10 percent
tuition increase.
