Parents will be able to send their children to school Monday as a tentative deal has been reached between the province and education support workers.<\/p>\n
The Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) was involved in contract talks with the province throughout the weekend in an attempt to reach a deal and avoid a strike.<\/p>\n
The deal was reached Sunday, allowing schools across the province to remain open and have classes resume as normal on Monday.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n A family from Philadelphia\u00a0took\u00a0a road trip to a water park in New Jersey recently.<\/p>\n But when they got there, it was closed for the season . . . just like Wally World in “National Lampoon’s Vacation.”<\/p>\n Luckily they didn’t drive the whole way across the country though.\u00a0 It turned out to be the park’s fault.\u00a0 They’d closed a week earlier, but still had promotions running on social media.\u00a0 So that’s how the family was able to buy tickets.<\/p>\n

a secret.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n After the fire, they started planning a toy drive with their teacher.\u00a0 Then on Friday, they surprised him with a MOUNTAIN of new toys to replace the ones he lost.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When he walked into class, they yelled “surprise.”\u00a0 And their desks were covered with board games, LEGOS, stuffed animals, a remote-control car, and dozens of other toys.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There’s a video of it.\u00a0 And at first, it looks like he doesn’t realize they’re all for him.\u00a0 Then his teacher says they’re HIS toys . . . and he asks the whole class for a group hug.<\/p>\n His teacher says it’s a great example of what a big heart he has.\u00a0 Most kids would have just ripped into the toys.\u00a0 But he wanted a hug first.<\/p>\n

scammers to give HIM money.\u00a0 And he’s pulled it off three separate times.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Earlier this month, he got an email from someone claiming to be a “big business banker,” who was looking for an investment of about $1,200.\u00a0 So here’s what he did . . .<\/p>\n <\/p>\n First, he acted VERY interested . . . said he wanted to invest MORE than that . . . and asked if he could send them $60,000.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Second, he emailed them a fake PayPal invoice that made it LOOK like he tried to transfer them the money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Then when the scammer didn’t receive the funds, he claimed his bank put a hold on the transfer, because they thought it was a scam.\u00a0 And he told the scammer THEY needed to transfer a small amount of money to him first, so the bank would know it was legit.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n They ended up sending him about $30.\u00a0 Then he donated their money to a cancer charity, and sent them an invoice letting them know THEY’D been scammed.<\/p>\n
