View Point - Letters to the Editor

Editor: I want to express my gratitude and admiration toward the organizers and participants in the Homecoming celebration held last week. It was a wonderful way to show community pride and school spirit. I thank each and every one of the participants for making it a thoroughly enjoyable event.
Each of the class parade floats was well done and the builders and their classmates should be proud of their handiwork. The businesses which fielded floats and parade units showed their community pride and support. Let’s all support them by giving them our business.
We enjoyed the parade so much that we watched it from three different locations along the route. All of the people I have talked to about the parade were very pleased that our school and community have revived this inspiring tradition. Putting three marching bands on the street from our own schools is a powerful testament to Mr. Froehlich’s plan to build a strong music program.
It was such a moving experience that it brought tears to the eyes of several people to whom I spoke. Let’s keep the tradition alive and plan for an even bigger and better celebration next year.
Congratulations to the Burros football team for their hard won victory in the Homecoming game. Go Burros!
Congratulations to King Adam Smith and Queen Katy Larson and their court. They are indeed a very fine group of young people.
