The New Jim Crow:
Mass Incarceration
in the Age of Colorblindness
The New Jim Crow
is a stunning account of the rebirth
of a caste-like system in the United
States, one that has resulted in millions
of African Americans locked behind
bars and then relegated to a permanent second-class status—denied the
very rights supposedly won in the Civil
Rights Movement.
In this incisive critique, former litigator-turned-legal-scholar Michelle Alexander provocatively argues that we
have not ended racial caste in America:
we have simply redesigned it. Alexander shows that, by targeting black men
and decimating communities of color,
the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control, even as it formally adheres
to the principle of color blindness.
The New Jim Crow challenges the civil
rights community - and all of us - to
place mass incarceration at the forefront of a new movement for racial justice in America.

NEW - FCT Presents: The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie
#6252
For their third Dinner Theater Production, FCT has chosen the Agatha
Christie mystery Mousetrap. A group
of strangers is stranded in a boarding house during a snow storm, one of
whom is a murderer. The suspects include the newly married couple who
run the house, and the suspicions in
their minds nearly wreck their perfect
marriage. Others are a spinster with a
curious background, an architect who
seems better equipped to be a chef, a
retired Army major, a strange little man
who claims his car has overturned in a
drift, and a jurist who makes life miserable for everyone. Into their midst
comes a policeman, traveling on skis.
He no sooner arrives, when the jurist is
killed. Two down, and one to go. To get
to the rationale of the murderer’s pattern, the policeman probes the background of everyone present, and rattles
a lot of skeletons. Cost includes dinner
and show.

Greenwood Tree is the duo of Bill
Cagley (guitar, mandolin, bodhran, and
limberjack) and Stu Janis (hammered
dulcimer and bowed psaltery). Musical
partners since 1985, Greenwood Tree’s
unique sound is a blend of lively traditional Celtic-flavored jigs and reels,
sweet waltzes, and American folk songs
with melodies deftly traded between
instruments. The combination of Stu’s
sprightly dulcimer with Bill’s driving
flat-picked Martin guitar provides energy for quick dance tunes, while slower
selections are enhanced by dulcimer arpeggios and a finger-picked guitar. You
may also see bowed psaltery, mandolin,
concertina, bodhran, and limberjack in
a Greenwood Tree performance.

ECFE Program Celebrates 40th year
Ahead of its time, the 1974 Minnesota Legislature funded the piloting of six
Early Childhood Family Education-ECFE programs. Today, ECFE is available
statewide and serves thousands of parents and their young children ages birth
to age 5 annually. This year ECFE celebrates 40 years of educating Minnesota’s
families.
ECFE Classes
Parent/Child Infants &
Toddlers Classes
ECFE understands the importance of the early years as learning years. Right
from birth, parents shape the child’s development, strengthen the parent-child
relationship and set the stage for future learning and growth as a family. ECFE
supports families by offering a variety of classes to provide education, encouragement and support for both parents and young children.
The original intent of creating ECFE was grounded in research that linked the
quality of the child’s development from birth to kindergarten age with later
school success. That research has been proven many times over. In the last four
decades, ECFE has supported parents as their child’s first teacher.

Precious Preschoolers
(Birth to 5 years, separating)
Peaceful Parent, Happy Kids: How to
Stop Yelling and Start Connecting
by Laura Markham
If you’re tired of power struggles, tantrums, and searching for the right
“consequence,” look no further. This
remarkable book will help parents with
healthy limits, empathy, and clear communication to raise a self-disciplined
child. Step-by-step examples give solutions and kid-tested phrasing for parents of toddlers right through the elementary years.

time 9:15-11:15 AM

(3 -5 years- children must be 3 years old by

Preschoolers learn when they play.
That’s why art, stories, music, games,
social interaction and fun fill each session of Precious Preschoolers. Field
trips out and about in the community
will enhance the learning experiences.
Although the children think they are
playing, the activities are designed to
help them develop the skills they need
to be ready for kindergarten—skills
which involve much more than knowing the ABCs and counting! Together
in the parent education group, we will
explore the growth and development
of these special preschool years. On
Tuesdays, parents and children attend class
together. THURSDAYS ARE CHILDONLY DAYS. Sibling care will be available on Tuesdays for $60 per child, if needed.

Early Childhood Screening
Help me GROW
What is Early Childhood screening?
Screening is an early look at how your
child is growing and developing. Between the ages of 3 ½ and 4, screening
can detect possible health or learning
concerns, so that children can get help
before they start school. Minnesota requires every child to participate in an
Early Childhood Screening prior to entry into kindergarten in a public school.
While all young children grow and
change at their own rate, some children experience delays in their development. Special health conditions
may affect children’s development, too.
MN children are eligible for services in
their home, child care setting or school.
These services are free to all families.
Appointments are necessary. To
schedule an appointment
please call 763-502-5123 or email
mary.eggert@fridley.k12.mn.us
Screening dates:
March 24, 25, 26
May 27 & 28
Home Visits
Visits are scheduled for District 14
residents, at parent’s request, to provide information about Early Childhood Family Education programs,

Education program to receive a free
book and helpful information delivered by a staff member.
Call 763-502-5123.
