"don't have a cow" - this means don't be so uptight about something (a comment); to lighten up because it was only a joke. It is used when someone is kidding with another person, and that person gets a little offended.
A student was hit by a car while crossing the street two weeks ago around 8:30pm. It was just starting to get dark. He was wearing a dark shirt and dark pants. He saw the car but the driver did not see him. If you are out at night, wear clothing that are light in color (example white). Put a reflective strip on your backpack so that the driver can see it.
Be safe, when crossing the street even if you are in a cross-walk. Make sure the car is stopping before you enter the street.
