Dear Horton Families,
While I would have preferred to be with you on your last day, it was also the last day for the General Assembly. I thought I would be able to get away, but given the bomb scare called in, it became apparent that I would not be able to attend. I have many fond memories of Horton School. I went on many field trips over the years and spoke to many classes studying local government and helped to get playground equipment (when there was no playground) and of course my work with Parent Organizations to help better the Horton community and the Forest Hill neighborhood.
I worked with school committee members and other local officials to try to keep our neighborhood school open. But it has become apparent that our neighborhood schools have been swallowed-up by bigger larger elementary type campus that don’t care about the smaller class size or filling a classroom at all.
I know you all worked hard and thanks to your efforts, workings of the School Administration have been exposed to ensure that in the future parents become part of the process from the beginning and not when it suits the School Administration to just rally the troops for their own causes and forget us when it isn’t. So please be proud of your work, some of us did listen!
Sincerely,
Paula McFarland
