Dear Editor:I am writing to you to state my opinion about the dissolution of the Gladbrook-Reinbeck School District. I do not live in the school district, however I am a senior at GR this year. I would like to say that I do not think that the district should dissolve. This school has done ...
Dear Editor,From the very beginning of my editorial campaign about our city donating to the daycare expansion, I have stated that Reinbeck needs a daycare. It provides an invaluable service to many of our citizens and is particularly important now because so many of our in-home daycares have ...
Dear Editor,Once again I received some letters with no signature except "Concerned Citizens for Reinbeck." They wondered how I could write an editorial about our school board and their unfair treatment of Gladbrook, especially at this critical point in time when with the vote for ...
