Refreshing to read something positive about local schools

To the Editor,

This past week while reading the letters to the editor, I was taken back a bit with the letter written by Ms. Barb Kelly. I was not surprised that there was a letter, there are most weeks from her.

 
Not surprised that it expressed unhappiness with community leadership, volunteer school board members or the local government body doing what they believe to be right, because it never is.

Not even surprised that individual people who are employees or volunteers are called out for not doing their work up to her standards. No one individual or group ever has.  

The surprise and disappointment came from a recent TPS graduate taking the time to put down his thoughts about his school, academics and how athletics played such a major role in his life.  Mr. Wright who is an actual TPS graduate, proud of his time at TPS both in the classroom and on the field.  An individual who is more qualified to speak on the subject than most, but obviously has no right to express an opinion different than Ms. Kelly and others.

I thank Mr. Colton Wright for taking the time to write a letter expressing what many believe but choose not to put down in a letter to the editor each week. It was refreshing and pleasant to actually read something positive about our schools and community.  That doesn’t seem to happen much around here any more.
