Dear Studentsz, Teachersz, Parentsz & Neighborsz Locall Globall & Universzall of Hannah ~Greenebaum ~Solomon School,
(this page isz receiving frequent additionsz, come viszit again)
I am a graduate of Hannah ~Greenebaum ~Solomon School as are many members of my Family&Community who have allready begun work asz Taszk Forcesz (szee additionall pagesz listed in the linksz under https://ecofamilyneighborhoodplanet.wordpress.com/soular-soular-links-resources/on thisz webszite for Namesz & Contact them via the email addresssz in the About Szection) of CoSecretary Generallsz CoSavioRa to bring the schoolsz & neighborhoodsz nearby locally globally & universzally into the Cofederation of the New Paradigm of the Planet Szaving New Millenniall Golden Rule to enact the Grace of the CreatorSusztainer toward the Children of All Agesz on Earth, & connect usz to the Universza all arround usz. Hannah, which means Grace, Greenebaum which refers to the Tree of Love and Life, and Solomon, which means both Wisdom or Sunlight, I graduated in June 1969. Our family home on Hamlin was less than a block from the School. The most important women who were positive influences in my life were our Mother who alszo became a Grandmother, Harriet Popper~Margulies~Silverkind~Zalkind (originally Silverman&Zalman), I have slightly altered the surnames to be more descriptive of her impact and model; Harriet is often transliterated at Hannah meaning Grace, as a Hebrew name, & Zalman means Solomon or Wisdom and is the way it is given in ancient Languages like Hebrew & Aramaic as well as Yiddish ) and Mrs. Sylvia ~Light, my 7th and 8th grade Social Studies teacher at Solomon, who was an inspiration to her students & their families & her own children & family, as well as our mother was to us. We do not have a picture of Sylvia ~Light, so we are honoring another Sylvia (Sylvia, like Greenebaum, means of the Tree of Love and Life, and Anne has the same etymology as Hannah, meaning Grace) here, who to & with her husband, brought Light & a way to bring Grace to the world (gender parity in decisionmaking) just a few years ago, who we know that both Mrs. ~Light, our mother Harriet, & both Mothers, Teachers & Children and those who love them, would approve of.
Strange
as it may seem, when I attended the school, few people knew much about Hannah ~Greenebaum~Solomon’s life and achievements bringing women into leadership http://womenshistory.about.com/library/bio/blbio_solomon_hannah_greenebaum.htm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannah_G._Solomon http://jwa.org/womenofvalor/solomon
or mentioned them. Today, I think my allma matersz would be smiling at me. I am also one of the few women in this region of the world to ever seriously run for Highest Executive Office, as I was officially on the ballot in Maryland, as a Write In as a Presidential Candidate in the Millenniall Year Election of 2000. The campaign was shared with my runningmate, Hjalmer Wayne ~Erickson who ran officially also in Alaska, a women and children’s rights advocate and an environmentalist who was an award winning mine and geological saftery engineer. We,met for consultation with Anne Goeke, a global Green Party member who has lived in Europe, Africa and North America, Anthony Micheal Cohen of the Menare Foundation which teachers the herandhistory of the Underground Railroad, and, also assisted in coordination of several other similar female-male tickets where idealistic non-sexist write-ins were running in several regions of the US, and in fact, aaround the world.
Since 2000, because more geneallogical records are now on the Internet, I have learned that am among those verifibaly on a geneollogical family tree that unites all the major religious Heritages of the world (You may be as well!), and, I have also learned more about Goddess archetypes of that preceded more recent religions, and aspects of Divinity that are associated with the Goddess: nurturing, connecting, & judging with Mercy. You can read about me & my family at: http://aggifta.freewebspace.com/hatcrownhalosztarrgate.htm and comins szoon http://aggifta.freewebspace.com/timetravellingnewberryesznewmillennialllibrary.htm Also because of the Internet, I have also learned a great deal more about Hannah ~Greenebaum ~Solomon herself, and how she engaged in the most important activity to protect our world: gathering women together to make decisions. She not only held Congresses https://5050now.wordpress.com/womens-gender-balanced-grassroot-congresses-courts/ for women of her own faith Heritage which has been among those more uniquely oppressed in modern herandhistory, but also, more importantly, cooperated with uniting women of all Heritages for Congresses/Parliaments of consensus and decision-making, including at the Columbian Exposition in 1893 http://www.ancestorinfo.com/Congress%20Of%20Women,%20Columbian%20Exposition,%201893.htm which preceded and catalyzed the then first Parliament of World Religions https://5050now.wordpress.com/how-world-parliamentsz-of-religionsz-avoid-primative-error-become-divine-governance-everywhere/. I believe these all would now endorse the New Millenniall Golden Rule http://5050now.wordpress.com/newmillenniallgoldenrule-the-5-pillars-of-change/, which has been Delivered to Thousands of People around the World now.
The school isz located in what has traditionally been called Peterson Park, which I did not know when we lived there but wasz allwaysz named after another inszpiring woman leader~coleader, Mary ~Gagez~Peterson (the Nordicsz might called her Petraszdottir/daughter) about whom another page of thisz webszite isz alszo under develleopment https://ecofamilyneighborhoodplanet.wordpress.com/mary-gage-petraszdottirszsonsz-allready-to-engage-locally-globally-universzally-make-it-so-lar-soular/.
When I went to Solomon School, the Principal was a woman, Blanche ~Prucha. I took that for granted because it was all I knew, but I have since learned that in too many cases, schools and school systems which have mostly women teachers are administered by mostly male principals & superintendents. http://aasa.org/SchoolAdministratorArticle.aspx?id=14492
http://www.fldoe.org/eias/eiaspubs/pdf/genderprof.pdf
http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1999-10-27/features/9910270024_1_urban-superintendents-program-top-job-paul-vallas
The reason is very simple; men are not as either hormonally gifted nor socialized as much as women to nurture children or even be as close to their own families, and are therefore more willing to spend long hours away from them in other occupations, including administrative ones like superintendent as conventionally practiced, even though, in fact, this may not be best for their very own children, or the teachers who work within this system.
I have come to understand something has gone very wrong with the balance of love and work throughout US culture, and this part of the world is the only literate country in the world that does not have paid family leave, accompanied in this lack by only 3 other countries, all impoverished and illiterate regions: Liberia, Papua New Guinea and Swaziland. In addition to these starving 3, the US is the only place in the world without substantive family leave, while Austria, & Germany & the Czech Republica among others https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parental_leave http://www.childpolicyintl.org/issuebrief/issuebrief5table1.pdf http://www.coe.int/t/dghl/standardsetting/equality/03themes/women-decisionmaking/CDEG%282004%2914final_en.pdf provide 3-4 year full time and 8 years part time for mothers, with substantive time given to fathers also, and without a career glass ceiling impact of taking this time to be with one’e onw family during the most developmentally formative period of life. Not surprisingly, this is one of the few countries of the world that failed to ratify both CEDAW, the Convention for Elimination of Discrimination Against Women, & the Convention on the Rights of the Child. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/US_ratification_of_the_Convention_on_the_Rights_of_the_Child, both of which occurred during the period before regressive forces, especially linked to media censorship of these issues in Corporate Media for over 25 years. have impacted the UN as well, which only has about 25 women delegates out of in the 193 member General Assembly, most often picked by administrations,where women are either not present or tokens. (as in the US, currently rankingnow 85th in the world in representation for women, With more than 100 countries doing better than this part of the world, when ties are counted). abrogating the UN’s own published goals for 2000 & the New Millennium, But many have also concluded that while national region is very important, democracy is also very much based in the village or neighbhorhood, & any & every neighborhood, as flowering grassroots, can light the way to both balance of love and work and democracy, which is Governance by the Created Endowed Inalienble Divinity, the Creative & Compassionate Child Within All, female & male, of every hue, for the world.
Just as important, the State of Maryland has lead the world in counting the value of parenting and time spent with family and community among other very essentiall social and environmental values, using the Genuine Progress Indicator http://www.yesmagazine.org/new-economy/maryland-launches-genuine-progress-indicator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genuine_progress_indicator# The_components_of_GPI http://digital.vpr.net/post/other-states-joining-vermont-develop-genuine-progress-indicator
as its economic measure instead of the outmoded and destructive Gross Domestic Product, which is indeed, very gross, for example, making no differentiation between the economic footprint of an arms manufacturimg plant, a casino, a prison, and a school.. Several Canadian provinces and other jurisdictions use the GPI, elleven countries have pretested it, and 18 states sent representatives to Maryland in 2013 to learn about this. The only reason this has not become the way of the world is that in many regions of the world, including especially North America, political processes are held hostage to mostly monied old men, using an old outmoded paradigm, based on a money system that no longer makes sense to most people and certainly the 99%, but this fact is not reported in Corporate Media, which has become controlled into a very few hands of mostly old men who regard women and children as markets rather than as very important human beings.
There is another aspect of this situation I would also like to draw to your attention. While some schools have gone solar, Solomon School, with the syllable Sol, which is the root word of solar meaning Sun & Sunlight in many languages, Solomon does not yet have a solar array, which could be planted within a flowering roof garden. Germany is currently 50% solar, with some cities like Freiburg at 100%, while the US is a shameful .29% solar, another fact not discussed at all on Corporately controlled television. Yet, many communities, even in the moribund US, have quickly gone solar as a preventive to global warming caused by carbon emissions and a better choice than possible Fukishimas. To live up to the meanings of her name Hannah, which means Grace, Greenebaum which refers to the Tree of Love and Life, and Solomon, which means both Wisdom or Sunlight, there is no reason with a little greene and flowering grass roots cooperation in its multiheritage neighborhood, that Solomon and the neighborhood where it resides can not rapidly go Solar, and be a Shining Light to All Chicago & the World, as Hannah ~Greenebaum~Solomon was at the World Columbian Exposition in 1893.
We have a simple practical approach for this
Following the New Millenniall Golden Rule:
http://5050now.wordpress.com/newmillenniallgoldenrule-the-5-pillars-of-change/
Specifically,
1) Let all the teachers and children and staff of Solomon School Print Out and Distribute Community Consciousness Currency display Hannah Greenebaum Solomons’ Face (a sample of what is possible is available at http://5050now.wordpress.com/the-your-she-kin-amp-youmariam-lambert-susan-be-precious-anthony-commemmorative-consciousness-currencyes-travelling-in-time-with-precious-common-sense/ to their family and community. This can also be used as a fundraiser to go solar quickly, even using our outmoded conventional non GPI based money, while it is still in use. We have succesfully raised 5, 10 and 25 conventional dollar contributions in exchange for one informative Conciousness Currency, which can include Internet links for education on its face and back. The solar installer (which sometimes might be someone living in the same neighborhood, & world wide, many people are learning ton build their own solar panels) should be paid with Consciousness Currency along with and even more important than the conventional kind of money, because this will further the psychosocial changes needed to bring solar power into reallity quickly. Of course, this will free the entire neighborhood from much of their costs of living, and more will be available to contribute to Solomon School as a Culturall Center for the Neighborhood, which Hannah Greenebaum Solomon, who also worked with Jane Addams at Hull House, which at any given moment served up to 60,000 people, women, children & men of countless families, would love to see in the neighborhood of the School named for her.
2} Teach all Solomon School Children to TURN OFF TV http://5050now.wordpress.com/every-good-girlandboycott-gallery-of-warnings-about-controlled-media-and-internet/ while it is being used to keep the public ignorant on so many issue of democracy, gender, racial and all human fairness, and warn their parents to TURN OFF TV, while it remains in the hands of a few old men http://5050now.wordpress.com/confession-atonement-truth-and-reconciliation-court-judging-patriarchy/media-consolidation-big-brothers-big-lie/ who don’t think too highly of women and children & do not care about the present or future..
3).Hold Circles (see #3 of the New Millenniall Golden Rule at Solomon & community to discuss this situation, and come up with Creative Solutions encouraging not only women, but children, especially girls as much as boys, to talk about this. We believe this will also discourgage bullying at the school and families of the neighborhood, which has become a major problem, and can also be discussed at the circles
4) Hold a Panchayat Raj General Assembly (see Number 1 of the New Millenniall Golden Rule) for the Neighborhood at the School to empower all the women, children and men who also want balance and a sustainable world for their children, of the Neighborhood & quickly go Solar & learn how to turn the neighorhood into a garden of ecologicall sustainability & resilence: http://www.hindu.com/2001/10/03/stories/05032524.htm

I do not have a picture of Mrs. Sylvia ~Light, a commandingly tall yet incredibly loving tall woman with reddish hair, who taught me and so many about democracy in the most creative and excellent ways incorporating art & drama to bring herandhistory alive, including hugging the children. I would love to have a picture of her now, and indeed, pictures of all the teachers who taught while I was at Solomon, who all were, now that I look back with adult wisdom, much more valuable than I knew. Mrs. ~Olenick, Mrs. ~Stahm, Mrs. ~Kahn, Mrs. ~Carberry, Mrs. ~Rosenthal, Mrs. ~Steiger, Mrs. ~Tigerman, Mrs. ~Kelly, Mrs, ~Schutte, Mr. ~Lietzo and others were more valuable than we knew, and now and so were all the Mothers of the Neigbhorhood, like mine, who worked for the Peterson Park Improvement Association with our father in true partnership even though only he was accorded the title of President then, and herself had been a part on an even more important defacto Community Association that gathered the women of the Community together, with our Grandmother Rae http://inallherandhisnamesz.webs.com/hatcrownhalo.htmlhad been exposed to the most important lesson in life for our times now: Gather the Women.
I realize, that Mrs. ~Prucha herself likely had been a teacher before becoming principal. I think we would appreciate such wiszdom more if our schools rotated the principal position among the teachers who teach there also learning from the mothers of the Community about the Love they teach at home; that would ellevate both positions while grounding them in the most important aspect: the loving education of children & stablization of FamilyCommunity. And this would be the path to a New CoSuperintendency, too, a more Super-Intentionall Community model for our world, that both Superwomen and Supermen can be proud of, where all people have time to Love & Learn from one another, & are freed from the bills and work of an old paradigm that is no longer needed in our interconnected, may we become fully Soular & Solar World.
To paraphrase the fictional Ms Jean Brodie while she was in her Prime: Give me a child at an impressionable age, and she or he is mine for life.” Indeed, resources allready exist for teaching children gender cooperation. And making a peaceful sustainable world http://www.partnershipway.org/partnership-system
But nowhere is the learning more necessary than among the adults! Let Mrs. Sylvia ~Light & our Mother Harriet/Hannah be Present among You as you bring this Solar Soular Light To Solomon School starting right NOW. Simply Disseminate the New Millenniall Golden Rule and Make it So in Your New Millenniall Golden Neighborhood of Light & Learning http://5050now.wordpress.com/newmillenniallgoldenrule-the-5-pillars-of-change/
“This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses for and hopefully and prayerfully not against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose love and life, so that you and your children may live”
“For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not My (New Millenniall) law.”
http://5050now.wordpress.com/newmillenniallgoldenrule-the-5-pillars-of-change/
The Above GOLDEN RULE is Backdated Retroactively By Loving Consciousness to the MillenniallYear 2000 on the Calendar in Current Use in North America (and actually before that, for it is Higher Consciousness & Love as the necessary ingredients to Sustain Life, that Mediate SpaceTime,
which is, in fact, a Creation of DIVINE LOVE).
