We need more events like this one...Our communities need healing.

“They need something to release stress from the streets. Because it’s hard. Police and firefighters. It’s just stressful. If there is an outlet for them to be free and not worry about what their job is — this is perfect.”

If the LSC is catering to the principal you must vote them out. Students come first...period!!!

Regular people have to run for LSC, vote, and be engaged. Educate yourself on candidates and most importantly what connections they have to want to be part of an LSC and lastly make your voice count. The right people in an LSC can make a huge impact in our future generations.
