Happy Birthday to Blog-Lebo!

Today (August 10) marks two years to the day since Blog-Lebo was launched. Happy birthday to us, and thanks to everyone -- my co-blogger Joe, and all of you who comment (anonymously, pseudonymously, and under your own names) -- for caring about civil, *public* dialogue on the future of Mt. Lebanon.

Congratulations to the blog. It is entertaining, informative and addictive!

With a constructive way for citizens to ventilate and give another perspective on issues, you have broken the bubble of Leboland.

Still anon after all these years...

Thanks Mike and Joe for the opportunity you prersent to all of us in Blog Lebo. No one can possibly understand the amqount of time and effort you put in to this. It's far easier for each of us to rant and rave than it is for you to use judgement and good sense to temper our inputs! I believe this wonderful community has a blog space unequalled elsewhere - and we love it!!!! Thanks to you!!!!

Great job on the blog - an valuable tool to help us all stay informed.

Thought you could perhaps start a post for the following:
---------------

Mt. Lebanon Cheerleaders Above the Rest?

Taken from the Mt. Lebanon Cheerleaders Team Page website:

TO FRESHMEN CHEERLEADERS AND PARENTS:
WE WILL BE DISMISSING THE FRESHMEN CHEERLEADERS AT 6:50 ON WEDNESDAY EVENING TO ATTEND THE 2011 NIGHT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL. THE CRUCIAL PART OF THE PRESENTATION IS THE DISCUSSION BY BOBBY PETROCELLI WHICH BEGINS AT 7 P.M. SO WE WILL BE SURE THAT THEY LEAVE IN A GROUP IN TIME TO ARRIVE AT THE AUDITORIUM BY 7 P.M. THANK YOU!!
-----------
Freshman Orientation begins at 6:30 tonight with an introduction of staff and discussion of High School rules and regulations. It is disgraceful that the Mt. Lebanon cheerleading staff has decided that the High School administration is wasting their time by discussing rules and regulations with students from 6:30 - 7:00 pm at the Freshman Orientation. Apparently, that is not "crucial" to cheerleaders. It is also incredibly disrespectful that they will be arriving, in mass, a half hour late and totally disrupting the ongoing program. Its no wonder people think athletes are held to a different standard in Mt. Lebanon.

Signed, PTA Mom

Unbelievable.

"Discussing rules and regulations?" Why is this necessary? All the kids can read, right? They're in ninth grade. Give them the student handbook and expect them to read it.

The chearleading coaches are just expressing what has gone through my mind during every school or work orientation I've attended in my entire life: "I wish I were somewhere else. This is X minutes/hours of my life I'll never get back."
