Dear editor,
I dont write letters very often but felt I needed to do so today.
Our three children were blessed to have a school just a block away that they could walk to. It is sad that the schools have not been updated throughout all these years. Now the children are the ones suffering.
Now we have broken down schools and something does need to be done. By putting two other buildings that they want redone or updated it will be costing even more.
We do have a lot of older people that are on a fixed income as I am. Some are commenting on the location of the proposed new elementary school.
I know it looks bad now, but after all the clutter is removed that will be a good place for a large building to hold all the grade school children.
I would think that the government would come and dig up the old dirt and put in new like they did at our home and others several years ago.
It will be a sad day if we cannot get a new school built for the children.
Sincerely,
Lavon Kinman Johnson,
Iola, Kan.
