On Thursday, Jan. 27, 2008 I read with disbelief an article in the Tecumseh Herald sports section in which sports editor Mickey Alvarado described the interactions of the Adrian High School and Tecumseh High School cheering sections. The two cheering sections, known for their spirited support and witty banter, started with inappropriate chants, and were immediately reprimanded by each school’s administrators.

The recent voter approval of the Non-Homestead Renewal for Tecumseh Public Schools is making it possible for our district to continue to offer the programs and services that the community has come to expect. Without this funding, we would have faced a severe budget shortfall. We greatly appreciate your support.

Because the burden of this renewal is placed on the businesses and owners of second homes, I urge you to shop locally first. Like the schools, local businesses will survive only with our patronage.

Please help our local economy grow by doing business locally.

My name is Tina Clark and I am the mother of Mary Clark, the six year old who was victim to a traumatic accidental scald burn on Dec. 16.

Since Mary’s accident, the community has shown such an incredible support for my daughter and our family. I would like to thank everyone for being so amazingly supportive and giving through this whole ordeal.
