Refreshing ROAR!

The Lyons Township High School newsletter "ROAR" arrived in the mail last week. This newsletter is for LTHS parents and the community.

It was refreshing to see a school newsletter that focused almost entirely on the students and teachers. Not once in the newsletter did it mention any of their school board members' names or plaster their pictures for all to see.

Unlike Pleasantdale, they have a firm grasp on ETHICS and don't waste money on SHAMELESS CAMPAIGNING for their board members on your dime.

It was also refreshing to read the Principal Franson state, "As we head into the final weeks of the first semester, please remain communicative with us. Parental involvement and student achievement correlate directly. We value your input."

Maybe superintendent Mark Fredisdorf and middle school principal, Meg Pokorny, can steal a few pages from their play-book.

I agree... it is a shameless waste of the tax payers money. Instead of pimping the current members (which I bet are all running in the upcoming election) wait and send a notice introducing the new board members? It does not have to be trifold, four color on glossy paper. I bet this little announcement with all the pretty color pictures cost the taxpayers over $5000!
