Daughter Gina made pillows for the media center!

Ridgeline media center is amazing! Students read in the window wells on the pillows Gina made! What a wonderful public school. What will happen to the quality of public schools if "vouchers" for private schools are approved in November? The public school districts will raise property taxes to make up the difference. The Valentines left North Carolina in 1996 in part because people sent their kids to so-called "Christian academies," while allowing public schools to deteriorate. On another note, the "United We Stand" display honors students' relatives who serve in the war against terrorism in Iraq.
