My food budget has been very grateful for these new tips that I’ve implemented but I’d love to just once stay under budget!
Two words that I dread every week is "food budget," especially since my now 19-month-old devours food like her elder siblings. I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that I’m now shopping for a family of five. Add to that dietary restrictions, the fact that we’re trying to complete the process of only eating organically grown fruits and vegetables and the constant climb in food prices and food shopping can become a burden. For once in my life, I'm heeding the allure of coupons, they are a must. I stalk the Sunday paper faithfully and when I forget to pick it up on Sunday I know what Dunkin Donuts still carries leftover papers. My envelope holder is bulging with them and I smile with triumph when the cashier asks "Do you have any coupons …

There was much discussion between the soon-to-retire Chief Executive Officer Paul Long and Board Member Simon Campbell about the proposed budget.

Students and parents continued to voice dissatisfaction with Neshaminy's budget woes and proposed programming cuts.
Between public comment and board comment, it was apparent the Neshaminy School District budget and contract woes were still in the forefront of everyone’s minds Tuesday evening. “Our goal should be to make Neshaminy more appealing,” Neshaminy High School student Zach Heineman said, noting to the board that cutting eighth grade foreign language makes the district less appealing and limits students’ future beyond college. According to Neshaminy High School student Sarah Thompson, physical education classes are a “small, but meaningful 45 minutes” in students’ days. “It shouldn’t be a choice. It should be a requirement,” Thompson said of physical education, pleading with the board to not cut tenth grade gym classes. “Not all learning comes …
