Dear David:

Normally I do not like to praise folks so openly, but the Catholic School Board did something last night that was brave & stellar. By keeping St. Mark's Junior High Catholic open, they are keeping a school that has citywide reknown for its Science & Technology focus. I am betting that a lot of these kids will become the scientists of the future. Going to places like NAIT, MIT & other technical schools. Some will of course focus on getting a Science Degree as well.

So David, I of course totally endorse the action of the Trustees in guaranteeing the school will stay open for the rest of this year. They made a decision here clearly not for political expediency, they made the decision because it was the right thing to do for the kids! I certainly wish Principal Bob Krzak & the staff at St. Mark's all the best in their struggle to keep fighting for a proud facility, a facility where students distinguish themselves with Scientific excellence & dignity.

Galileo,

Rory
