Carnation PTSA expresses thanks

Letter to the Editor.

The Carnation Elementary PTSA would like to thank some very

important people who were instrumental in the completion of the Carnation

Elementary computer lab.

The students at Carnation Elementary worked very hard to raise

money to match the parental cash donations made through the PTSA. In a

time when many are expecting everything to be handed over to them, these

children wanted and succeeded in meeting their own lofty goals through

their own hard work.

Betty Rich, a fourth grade teacher, and Amanda Johnson,

president; Amanda Biggs, vice president; Ashley Owen, secretary; Amber Owen,

treasurer; and Lauren Vigna, activities director, lead the student council.

The Carnation Elementary PTSA does not feel that our schools in

the Riverview School District are “battlefields” as stated by some, but a

place where faculty, parents, students and community members

recognize the need for upgrades and improvements in the tools available to our

teachers. The vast majority of the parents, teachers and students are working

together towards a common goal _ the good of the entire school district and all

our children.
