Ramona schools are excelling in the classroom as evidenced by test scores that are better than most schools in San Diego County. The Title One Academic Achievement Award at Ramona Elementary and California Distinguished School awards at other Ramona schools show the progress our schools are making.
To the two young men who were off-roading on private property on Barona Mesa at 12:45 in the morning on Sunday, Oct. 14, you were trespassing. Not only did you wake our entire household with your engines and screaming discussions about wondering where the (expletive deleted) your buddy was when you looked back, one of you crashed on our property.
Yes, we heard that, too. You were only yards from where we had been sleeping in our beds.

Not only will Obama lose the election, but he will get his clock cleaned.
Because his political party has displayed such a void of intelligence that is equivalent to “drinking the Kool-Aid,” I believe the public will boot them out of the presidential office for at least the next 4 terms. Had they had the ability to call lazy, incompetent, and tyranny by name, the public would be more forgiving. But they won’t.
Our schools in Ramona are in trouble. We have failing facilities, a bleak financial outlook and declining enrollment. For those of you that would like to save the $15-25 per month in taxes for the long overdue bond measure, you will probably be able to save even more than that if it fails. How, you may ask? With high gas prices, a school system run by the state, and deteriorating campuses, fewer people with children will want to live here. You can count on your property value dropping another 20%. Then you could have your property reassessed and pay lower taxes.
Just received Ramona school district’s flyer for Proposition R. They make it sound so rosy by saying that it will only cost property owners $5 a month per $100,000 assessed valuation.

Our nation’s children attend public schools, private schools , charter schools, parochial schools, juvenile court schools, and others prefer to home school.
Ninety percent of our nation’s k-12 children are in public schools. The majority of parents support their particular public school.
The Gallup Poll of Public Attitudes toward the public schools shows that Americans have a number of conflicting viewpoints in their appraisal of public schools.

Dear Friends of Ramona Family Naturals,
We’ve all had “that call” that was too late or too early to be good news. Early last Tuesday morning we received one of those calls. It was a Ramona Sheriff Deputy informing us of a break-in at Ramona Family Naturals.
