Any attempt to exclude the private school children from full participation in the athletic association is simply not fair,

We tried to have every area school send artwork, so we could show what talented children there are around here.

We want to see broad public participation, (which is) part of what's missing with the Balloon Track, anyway.

Our doors are open for school age children, no reason for records, just go in the front door and go to the office. The children will automatically be put on the free lunch program.

This is such an exciting moment. Our participation in this lawsuit has always been about family protections for our children. Tonight, we will rest a little easier knowing that those protections are within reach.

In some cases, kids are going to excel in school regardless of their sport participation. For others, they could fail in the classroom and go unpunished. The kids that didn't do well, there wasn't too much to take away from them because we didn't have any dances or extra-curricular activities.
