3. Today is the day of gardening at the ELIJA School as Autism Awareness Week continues. Volunteers and donations are needed. Levittown Patch editor Nina Ruggiero will be there, will you?

4. The Levittown Board of Education has an important budget planning session tonight at 7:30 p.m. at the Levittown Memorial Education Center (150 Abbey Lane). Stop by and find out what's going on or come back to Levittown Patch later this week for the scoop.
