by Lane Court Georgetown days were numbered Is Ihis what we do for or lo our children expect everything and give nothing This school was meant to accommodate Grades I to small children learning about organized sports on a small scale Now years gymnastic mats at school are bigger than gym Itself It is not unusual to walk In on any given night to see cheerlead ers practising in the already crowded library wrestlers practising In one of the halls and the boys basketball team practising in the gym Which leads us back to the Aral point my girls practising in another school I ve had four children

be a cose of one or the other Why Is it not possible for our children to have the proper facilities for their education growth I firmly believe that thla has gone past the point of please can you do something The board of cation has a moral respons ibility to these kids Somthlnt must be done and It must be What do you intend do My third and fourth are graduating In June from my filth will be
