The reason I volunteer is so that this community’s students can have the best education and school experience possible, my kids included! I found myself complaining about how things were and I decided to become involved and see if I could make a difference or help make things better. I soon found out that the […]
When Mr. Bill Holt’s guest column appeared in the Lake Orion Review last week, I was taken aback. Not because of the topic, because he has been making his dissent towards the LOCS November Bond Proposal abundantly clear in multiple public forums.
