The panther, which weighs about 130 pounds, was born in captivity, but its parents were shirts to before- and afterschool limousine service. Campbells daughter-in-law, Cheryl Campbell, is the Pulaski Heights parent who developed the Learn-n-Earn pilot program. She wanted a different way to provide pupils with an incentive for practicing good behavior and study skills.

Only about 30 panthers remain in the Everglades. Fowler said. Originally, hunters killed them. Now they are becoming extinct because of a depletion of natural places to roam, an increase in mercury poisonjing in the environment and their being killed by cars on the highways. Fowler also displayed a baby alligator, another animal that is endangered. Other animals he showed were a screech owl, an opossum and a tenrec, related to the hedgehog but small enough to fit in ones hand. The animal is a native of Madagascar and is protected from enemies by its prickly quill covering. Pupils were able to pet many of the animals at the exhibit, including the snake and the panther. Some of the animals were from the Little Rock Zoo. i Fowler, a Georgia native, trained eagles and falcons as-a youth. He also enjoyed going into undeveloped areas to see the wildlife there, he said. - He now lives in New York aiid Connecticut and is a frequent guest on the Today Show.

In closing, Fowler quoted a 9-year-old girl who said animals and people need to live together: If anjmals are lost, then we lose a part of ourselves.Arkansas Democrat (gazette WEDNESDAY, MAY 11. 1994 Ask first-graders: Teachers care D enni Scales, a first-grade teacher at Pulaski Heights Elementary School, had long since had her fill of the criticism bestowed upon educators in general when a letter published here April 28 pushed her over the line. I have been very disappointed by all the negative press teachers receive in your letters column, she wrote to me. 'This past Thursday, a man wrote in to summarize the situation by stating that teachers do not care if their students are learning or not. I read his letter to my students and asked them to write their response to you. We appreciate you for giving the children equal time. 'There were a couple of problems with giving Scates pupils equal time: Our policy requires that we verify the authorship of each letter to be published and that all published letters bear the writers first and last names (or at least two initials and a last namp) Hauling first-graders out of class one by one to grill them about their letters seemed both impractical and silly, even if they had signed both first and last names, so I decided to do the next best thing: give them my space.

"I never thought I would see the day when pulp fiction became the mainstay of the public schools in Little Rock. Norton says. Ive told lasper that almost anything can be used as a drug to get kids hooked, even books. "These books depend upon the murder and se.xual harassment of girls for their plots.

We do not receive the same funding that incentive and magnet schools receive. Of the 35 elementaiy schools in the Little Rock School District, we place 33rd in the amount of dollars per studept. We are also 24 percent above capacity. Why do so many families choose Pulaski Heights? Our school maintains a 100 percent parent and teacher membership in the PTA Our PTA raised over $20,000 last year and plans are even more ambitious this year. Volunteers contributed over 4,500 hours last year. Principal Lillie Carter has a reputation of maintaining discipline. She was chosen Principal of the Year by the Little Rock PTA Council two years ago. Pulaski Heights was named Best Elementary School by Arkamas Times this year after being a semi-fmalist the year before. Our school is racially balanced with a ratio of 51.9 percent black and 48.1 percent white and other, and we have a waiting list.
