Wednesday Essentials: Real Estate Values, Blue Ribbons, Community Police Academy, 10K Run

Here are five things for your Tuesday and week ahead in Manhattan Beach:  

1. Submit your application pronto for the Community Police Academy put on by the Manhattan Beach Police Department. It's a fun time and very educational with insight into how the department functions. I gained an even greater appreciation for law enforcement. Details here.
2. Manhattan Beach Unified School District continues to set itself apart. This time, Robinson Elementary took a national honor. Details here.
3. Make sure you're "Patched In" to get alerts on breaking news as it happens in town this week (and after), make sure you are signed up to get our emails. Click on the 'get the daily newsletter' at the top, right corner of this page. (If you see something that says, "hi, username," then you're already registered. In that case, click on "email settings" under the drop-down tab under your name.)
4. This real estate agent writes in his blog that Manhattan Beach property values should increase with the announcement of Robinson Elementary School's Blue Ribbon distinction. What do you think? Here's his blog.
5. Ready for the Manhattan Beach 10K Run Saturday, Oct. 5. Details here.
