Letters to the Editor, July 19

The past few weeks have been busy at Garrett Junior High School as students have continued to settle into the school year, participate in fall activities, and work toward finishing the first quarter strong.

September is always a busy month at Boulder City High School.

That first day I feel a little fall chill, I always chuckle to myself thinking about the “sweata weatha” exchange between Maya Rudolph and Amy Poehler from their SNL sketch. While much of the country is pulling on sweaters, downing pumpkin lattes, and decorating for fall, we’re still wearing flip-flops and kicking on the AC.

Walt Disney once said, “I think what I want Disneyland to be most of all is a happy place – a place where adults and children can experience together some of the wonders of life, of adventure, and feel better because of it.”

The holiday season is almost upon us, with Halloween coming up.

I’m certain that today every American who was an adult on 9/11 remembers what he or she was doing during the terrorist attacks.

My favorite memories as a Boy Scout and church youth group leader always seem to center on community service opportunities.

When I was younger, my parents instilled in me the importance of making a good first impression. Look people in the eye. Make sure you give a firm handshake. Focus on what they are saying and don’t be distracted.

There is just something about the beginning of a new school year.
