Letter: ‘Hooray’ for Port School District

Tuesday, 16 June 2009 15:07

In response to “A Tale of Two School Districts,” letters to the editor June 11.

I say “hooray” to the Port Washington School District for hiring young, enthusiastic new teachers and not firing them the next year.

I say “hooray” for increasing technology and computer studies in a demanding global education world.

I say “hooray” for keeping vital classroom supplies at an appropriate level.

I say “hooray” to spending money on needed repairs now, and not later when the same repair will cost double.

I say “hooray” to a “progressive” superintendent who fosters many unique and wonderful programs that enhance the interest and education of our students.

I say “hooray” to the many PTA mothers, fathers and grandparents who are vitally interested and involved in their children’s school and education.

I say “hooray” for the 5,100 school children whose education is supported nearly two-to-one by the intelligent and caring people of Port Washington.

Now, this doesn’t mean we don’t love Roslyn.
