Good morning, Salida!
What a nice positive piece on our schools and community. Thanks!
Well done, Bill.
Bill – excellent! Thanks!

As a 1965 graduate of Longfellow, a 1967 graduate of Kesner Junior High and a 1971 graduate of SHS…….
Thanks Bill Donovan. This is great!

Thanks Bill,
As I watched this I was reminded of all the great things we have achieved as a community, an amazing school system, the river park, the pool, our trail system, the steam plant a vibrant downtown among so many more. It seems to me that a community that has achieved so much should be able to also design a government that we can be equally proud of. Helping Salida to shine far into the future.
Bill – fantastic portrait of the schools and their relationship to the community!
A great positive piece that highlights the school districts hard work and progress in the past few years. Brightens the future!
