RACINE â When itâs summertime and schoolâs out, the cartoons on TV have gotten stale and thereâs not much left to do around the house, you want to head outside and get moving; maybe break a sweat at the park.
This was the experience brothers Davonte Underwood, 12, and Romello Green, 11, knew all too well in their neighborhood in Milwaukee.
They said they knew a lot of people went to the park to enjoy the sun â like their dad, Romaro Green, who played basketball at the outdoor courts â and they wanted to start their own business selling snacks.
It was a way for the brothers to be productive and earn a few dollars, something their mother, Clarissa Green, fully backed when the idea first came up in 2016.
RACINE â Racine Unified School Districtâs current plan for offering summer school this year is opening only three schools for the 4K-8 program: Gifford, Jerstad-Agerholm and Mitchell.
The Racine Branch of the NAACP thinks this is a problem for inner city communities. None of the schools are walking distance from those communities, and the districtâs current plan doesnât offer bus service to those schools, they said.
At a news conference Wednesday night at Racine Branch headquarters, 1633 Racine St., the Branch called for RUSD to take immediate steps to solve those problems.
They outlined the following demands:
Open Julian Thomas Elementary School on Dr. Martin Luther King Drive and Knapp Elementary School on 17th Street.
RACINE â Itâs not every day you find your kidâs new scooter, a set of blankets for your bedroom or even a shiny toaster oven for your kitchen for a low price at the same place. Unless youâre shopping at Deals for Days, a new retail store which held its grand opening on Saturday at 3701 Durand Ave.
The concept of the store is simple yet so enticing for a shopper who likes hunting for good deals: Liquidated items like home goods, electronics or clothing from stores like Target or Walmart are tossed in bins, and depending on the day of the week, at a low price point.
