Freedom of Speech would like to also say it is clear that Mrs. Rebecca Gardenour is completely dedicated and rest assured that Gardenour will be advocating for programs and policies that enhance the promise of our education system and the future of our children.
Congratulations to our newly elected School Board President Mrs. Gardenour, Vice President Neal Smith and new Secretary Trisha Badger Byrd.
The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what we think - rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves.
