HURRICANE HELP! We're in the hurricane season until the end of November. But we could see severe weather almost any time of the year. The best way to stay informed is to call 800.933.6093 or go to www.mysanibel.com. | ||
| SCHOOL WEBSITE - This year the Sanibel School has redesigned its website to improve parent, student and teacher communication. It shows parents how to help their children improve grades and be successful, and provides links to teachers. It sounds like they're ahead of the curve. If you're interested, go to www.lee.k12.fl.us/sbl. |

| CLAM BAYOU OPENS UP - Talking about water, the city has opened up the bayou to the gulf. When the bayou was closed to the gulf, it became stagnant & a bit stinky. People living there didn't open their windows a lot. Now, with the bayou again connected to the gulf, the water can flow, the fish can return and the birds will come back to the bayou. This is good for the city, good for the homeowners and good for the wildlife. | |||
