Before I launched this site, my neighbors and I fought hard for the saving of Horton Elementary School - my daughter's school.
We launched "savehorton.blogspot.com" which crashed and was revived as SaveHorton.org by co-blogger, Horton parent and now City Council candidate Mark Lucas.
Sadly, after many months of meetings and speeches, the Cranston School Committee voted to close the school.
On Friday, June 23rd from 3:30 until 7:00 PM, Horton will have its last farewell. Many of the city's dignitaries have been invited to join the students, parents and teachers of Horton turn over the last page of this long book.

No problem, Mark! It was a tough bloody fight. We lost and emotions are still raw. I think that it will not fully sink in until the first day of school in Sept.
Kiersten, the school committee was not listening to logic anymore when we started talkingn. Their minds were made up and sealed shut.
I tried to explain to them that this country should not be in the business of trying to open schools in Iraq only to shut them down here at home.
Maybe, we can hope for a new slate pf public and civic minded folks that care for our schools in those positions.
