Tips to Help Students Avoid the 'Summer Slide"

The term “summer slide” was first identified and coined in 1906, as described by this New York Times article, to highlight the detrimental impact that 3 months of lethargy have on the education of American children. For over 100 years, study after study has confirmed that indeed there is a tremendous learning loss in children, including one study published by John Hopkins University, showing an average of 2 months of loss in reading, and 2.6 months in mathematics. Furthermore, this results in teachers having to reteach materials to students for the first 4-6 weeks of school.

Despite Experience with the SAFD, Payeur Excited to Start as Full-Time Firefighter

Payeur, at 27, is the oldest of three firefighters recently hired by the Saline Area Fire Department. He’s also the most experienced. The 2006 Saline High School graduate has been a paid on-call firefighter with the department for nearly seven years. He’s also filled in for extended periods while firefighters were out with injuries. Still, while Payeur believes his experience is an asset, he’s not taking anything for granted.
