Nick Sanchez won the first stage while Dean Thompson earned the win in the second stage. The race featured 15 cautions and 16 lead changes and was also red flagged twice in the final 10 laps due to accidents. Richard Childress Racing drive Jesse Love was then able to get past JR Motorsports driver Sammy Smith on the final restart in overtime, going on to capture the checkered flag and securing his second victory of the season. Of course, Smith also won the season-opening race at Daytona. While the action calmed down after the race, the twists to it were not over as NASCAR made a massive announcement hours after the finish regarding Love and Richard Childress Racing. NASCAR announced that Smith’s No. 2 Chevrolet has been disqualified following post-race inspection for issues in the rear suspension. With Smith’s disqualification, the new winner of Saturday’s race at Rockingham is Smith and his No. 8 crew from JR Motorsports. This is massive news for both sides as Love now gets credited with a last-place finish at Rockingham and will lose valuable regular season and playoff points due to the ruling. For Smith, this marks his first victory of the season and also the third in his Xfinity Series career. While Love was disqualified, RCR will have the opportunity to appeal NASCAR’s decision and if they win their appeal, they will get the win and their points back while Smith will be credited with a second-place finish. It is important be careful when handing out draft day grades but at first glance the Dallas Cowboys did really nice work Their process as far taking the highest player on their board was fantastic. They made a habit out of getting great value, which was not always the case in recent drafts. The first three picks in particular - Alabama guard Tyler Booker, Boston College EDGE Donovan Ezeiruaku and East Carolina cornerback Shavon Revel -- has the potential to be a special grouping Despite the seemingly strong haul, the Cowboys now must move quickly to scour the undrafted free agent market.

high school is the bridge to your adult life and it’s rewarding to be a part of a student’s trajectory And then I get to see all that they go on to accomplish after school I think you can see my true love of learning reflected in my classroom I'm part of a collective of educators who work with an approach called “Youth Participatory Science,” which was actually coined by two former CPS science teachers Daniel Morales-Doyle and Alejandra Frausto I teach students science in a way that centers their experiences as Chicagoans and helps them apply science in their daily lives what does it mean when your younger sister goes to the doctor and she has elevated lead levels in her blood What does it mean when a metal shredding company is trying to relocate to your side of the city every student feels like they can engage in science and bring their own life experience to the table Our school just matched staff to certain learner profiles and I was selected as the “most knowledgeable.” As I said earlier I also love to laugh and people say I have a good sense of humor I’m very serious when it comes to student outcomes and I’m very principled when it comes to making sure every student feels seen and valued I hope my students leave my class with a love of science and a deep curiosity for the world around them Research shows that most kids come to love science because of hands-on experiences like growing pinto beans and playing in dirt and dissecting worms and then somehow that evolves into reading a lot of text and feeling disconnected from what they’re learning I ultimately want to change the landscape of science education I want my students to see themselves in the content because that’s when they’re really engaged Segroves is dedicated to providing students with direct instruction and accommodations to help them access everyday instruction.  and commitment to promoting both physical and mental health Imelda considers many of the people she works with to be like family Rebeca keeps herself extremely busy in service of our students and families This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply This site is protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply He peacefully departed this life on December 10 Bill lived a fulfilling life marked by devotion to his family and an undeniable fondness for companionship he served aboard the USS Princeton aircraft carrier where he formed a bond with his fellow sailors and expressed his love for family by writing his mother letters every day while stationed abroad His military service was just a chapter in a life filled with meaningful experiences and achievements Bill worked tirelessly as a brick mason foreman he was able to provide for his loving wife with whom he shared an extraordinary 77 years of marriage Their partnership was a testament to true love showcasing a rare and beautiful bond that few can claim such an accomplishment in a lifetime Bill’s personality was as warm and inviting as his favorite breakfast at Gus's Side Street Cafe where he relished the simple pleasures of bacon creating connections that filled his life and the lives of others with joy spending countless hours immersed in nature This love of the natural world was only rivaled by the affection he gave to his sweet dog and placing ice cubes in her water each day Harper was not just a pet to him;
