I am singing in the rain today!!

Today I have earned Active Rain's #1 Ranking in Fairfield, New Jersey! I set a goal for myself here on AR albeit a small goal but one that I set and I accomplished.

Everyday I log on to Active Rain and my Rank in Fairfield New Jersey has always been #2 and today after posting my last comment I clicked on my home page and there it was RANK IN FAIRFIELD: 1 (Featured!). It's nothing compared to the top AR bloggers and I know I still have a lot to learn. As you can see my points are only 22,012, have only written 44 blog posts with two subscribers and my posts have never been featured but I did set my goal to become #1 in Fairfield, New Jersey Active Rain's ranking and that goal I can happily say that I've accomplished today. Staying #1 will be the ultimate accomplishment!

Now onto my second second goal: moving from the #8 spot in Essex County, New Jersey to the #1 ranking.

I'm singing in the rain today instead of just getting my feet wet!

Drunk driving hit home this weekend in Fairfield. Chills went up my spine Saturday morning when I learned a Fairfield home on Hollywood Avenue (the same Fairfield home my cousins were interested in back in March of 2008) was struck by a vehicle which hit the home's gas meter and ignited a fire that caused extensive damage to the home. FORTUNATELY, the three occupants of the home nor the driver of the vehicle were injured during this horrible accident.

It took approximately 1½ hours for The Fairfield Fire Department, along with firefighters from both West Caldwell and North Caldwell to extinguish the flames. From what I understand the driver of the vehicle was charged with DWI and arrested by the Fairfield Police Department.

This tragedy really hit home when I thought that it could very well have been my cousins being startled at 3:00 a.m. by a crash through their house and blazing flames. Luckily for them, they had chosen another Fairfield home but in reality, it could have happened and can happen not only to them but to any one of us - don't think for one second that it can't happen to you! Together, as communities (not just Fairfield but ALL communities) need to protect ourselves, our children, our residents, our family members and friends against drunk drivers.

PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE!

Did you know that good communities begin with their school system?

Did you know that your community's school system plays a major role in the value of your property? What do you think is the first question a family moving with children asks their agent...."What are the schools like?" Even buyers who may not have children today but have future plans of raising a family ask their agent...."What are the schools like?"

Unfortuntately if the school system is compromised, not only does the school suffer but the community suffers as well. As a result, house values in that community may start to decline.

Just the other day I voted for Fairfield's Adlai E. Stevenson Elementary School to win $20,000 in the "America's Favorite School" online contest.

Every day committed teachers, parent volunteers and student leaders in Fairfield go that extra mile to make our schools the special places our children need to learn, grow and thrive.

Whether you are a parent, teacher, student or community member you can help the children of the Fairfield Public Schools benefit from the $20,000 school prize! As the former President of the Fairfield Home and School Association (2007-2009), as a resident AND mother of three children who attend the Fairfield's Public Schools, I honestly feel that the $20,000 would make a huge difference for Fairfield Public Schools in this economy.

In essence, as a community, it is important that we keep our property values protected and our children well educated by supporting our schoolsand we need everyone's help to win!

COME ON FAIRFIELD click on the banner below and VOTE FOR FAIRFIELD SCHOOLS!! It's free, it's easy and every vote not only helps rally support for our school, our children andThe Township of Fairfield but PROTECTS our house values as well! The last day to vote is November 8, 2009. Good communities begin with good school systems!
