Good Story, SR needs more like this. I hope every schoolkid out there reads this - as it should be required reading, and not only for the history lesson. Because the message is clear : Stay in school. There are more options out there, nowadays.
ConGRADulations on your diploma, Mrs. Barone. :)
Top notch story. More of these please.
they don't have time to report on stories like this. there were way too many minor traffic accidents to report on. it takes a lot of time to cut and paste police blotters and pass them off as headlines. did you hear so and so ran a red light yesterday?
What a heart warming story. Congratulations Mrs Barone.
A touching story. However, Mrs. Vargo looked rather tacky chomping on her gum.
