Say Yes to Recess Maryland

180 days. 1,080 hours. Zero minutes guaranteed.

Let’s compare our neighbors! Alongside Maryland, we looked at Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Delaware.

Out of these states, Maryland has at least 100 more hours in the school year; however, no mandated recess minimum.

In all other states compared, recess is required.

Additionally, in Ohio and Virginia, recess time counts towards instructional time.

Ohio allowing 30 mins of recess counted towards instructional time; Virginia allowing ~49 mins of recess counted towards instructional time.

Maryland can take a note, recess isn’t a time away from learning, it is learning!

Say Yes to Recess Maryland

Hi! Maryland mom here advocating for MORE RECESS TIME for our children!

Currently, most Maryland elementary schools only recommend 20-30 minutes of recess per day. This varies by school and county, with some counties recommending as little as 15 minutes of recess per day.

Join us as we call on policymakers to guarantee Maryland students 60 minutes of recess every school day!

You can help by SIGNING OUR PETITION and following us on Facebook and Instagram!

Input about renting a home

Hello community, I’m a worker affected by the current politics and have decided to rent my home out and live with my parents out of state while I continue to look for work. My skill set is over-represented in this area because of many others who have also lost there jobs.

My home is a 4/2 cape cod style located near S. Rolling Road and Frederick.

I’m considering using Furnished Finders to rent to traveling nurses or others looking for mid-term furnished rentals.

I’m looking for input from others who rent properties for mid term opportunities. Please let me know if you have advice.

Thanks!

Petition · Reinstate Mr. V at Catonsville High School

I am a former student at Catonsville High School. i graduated in the class of 26

I am angry.

I am sickened.

Mr V was one of the only staff members who gave a fuck about any of us.

They fired him for speaking up about the abuse and mistreatment in our school, mainly with SPED students.

I will not let our voices be drowned out

. We all need to stand up to make our schools better.

The teachers were speaking inappropriately and doing inappropriate things, and Mr V spoke the truth.

They silenced him

but they can't silence all of us.

you can sign this petition

or you can share this

but we will not be silenced.

edit for details

taken from the description for the petition

"Mr. V was more than just a hall monitor at Catonsville High School; he was a mentor, a confidant, and a friendly face who genuinely cared about each and every student. On Thursday, October 1st, he was wrongfully dismissed from his position—a decision that not only affects him, but also deeply impacts the lives of the students he has positively influenced.

Mr. V was terminated for "keeping it 1000"—for speaking the truth. He had the courage to bring to light unacceptable behavior happening within our school. Teachers were allegedly behaving inappropriately with students and neglecting their responsibilities, especially those crucial for the care of kids in wheelchairs. Instead of addressing these critical issues, the administration chose to silence the voice of righteousness by firing Mr. V. This is not just unfair; it is a grave injustice. 

And Mr V was wrongfully terminated for just doing his job keeping children safe

For me, and many of my peers, Mr. V was someone who always had time for us, always asked how we were doing, and never hesitated to offer guidance whenever needed. Losing him not only hinders our school environment but also negates a reliable support system for countless students.

The responsibility of any educational institution is to protect and nurture its students, not to hide behind closed doors when allegations arise. It is imperative that Catonsville High School reinstates Mr. V, conducts a thorough investigation into these allegations, and takes appropriate action against any misconduct.

Let's call on school administrators to do the right thing. Mr. V stood up for our welfare and safety.  now it's our turn to stand up for him. Please sign this petition to bring justice for Mr. V and ensure a safe, honest environment at Catonsville High School. Every signature counts, and your support can make a real difference."

Daisy (yes her) from the Catonsville Post Office is retiring. IYKYK.

She told me we can expect things to get worse (rock bottom has a basement) and for the location to be closed more often during business hours. She said the management is awful and the employees are lazy with no call/no show issues.

Do what you will with this info.

And in honor of the Catonsville Post Office, Happy Mean Girls Day! 🎀

Maiden Choice Lane Loiterer

Curious if anyone knows the story behind the white male who who is always sitting on the sidewalk on Maiden Choice Lane across from the Little Sisters of the Poor. At least 80% of the time I drive by (which is very random times of the day) he's sitting on the sidewalk, sometimes on the phone but always facing the Little Sisters of the Poor. He doesn't appear to be homeless. There has to be a story.
