Kids’ ads creative

Dear Editor:

I love the ads done by the Athens Intermediate School students! The paper, the students, the businesses and teachers deserve applause for their creativity. Thank you for permitting fresh ideas into the paper and for your continued support of our schools.

Sincerely,

Superintendent petition continues

Dear Editor:

Just to update the citizens of Limestone County on the petition to vote on our Superintendent of Education, we have another 450 names on it. The total is now 2,650 citizens who support the right to vote on this issue. Signatures will continue to be obtained until action is taken on this in Montgomery.

As a lot of states are going to appointed superintendents, maybe it is not working in Limestone County or the state of Alabama since we are 46th in education out of 50 states.
