Monday Memo Musings

Please take the time to vote today. Educate yourself , make a decision and vote. So cool that we have that right and that freedom to elect our own government. This is a right many people do not have.  Do you know your human rights? Here are just a few.  You have the right to life and to live in freedom and safety. Everyone has the right to be protected by law. We can all ask the law to help us if we are not treated fairly. Nobody should harm our good name.

When attending this Outreach Conference it became apparent to me that our schools are unique, up north.
