Class of 2027 addresses that need, while also acknowledging that the greatest Legacy of all is that which we leave with our children. &lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font size="2" face="Arial"&gt;A smoking ban is a controversial subject. Those who do not smoke, and have never smoked, often feel like there is no reason not to employ a public smoking ban. Smokers, however, feel like it is a personal right to be able to smoke in public, and the smoking ban issue is important and personal for them. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font size="2" face="Arial"&gt;While this might seem like a new issue, the disagreement surrounding a motion to ban smoking in public places has been around for a while. There are pros and cons on the smoking ban issue. Come hear both sides of this issue at this Eggs N' Issues. &lt;/font&gt;

&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font size="2" face="Arial"&gt;During last school year, the B.E.S.T. program recognized partners for achieving a “Gold Standard” partnership status based on meeting the following criteria: &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font size="2" face="Arial"&gt;1) Measurable Results 
    &lt;br /&gt;
    2) Implementation of High Impact Initiatives 
    &lt;br /&gt;
    3) Equal Benefits to School and Business 
    &lt;br /&gt;
    4) Identifiable Community Impact &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    &lt;font size="2" face="Arial"&gt;One goal this year is to expand the number of partnerships focusing on these criteria as partnerships activities are set and implemented throughout the year. The representatives of both the school and business are strongly encouraged to attend the Workshop and use this evening as a chance to outline your partnership&amp;rsquo;s scope of work for the 2010-2011 school year. &lt;/font&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
