I'm sure there will be similar responses from other parents about Carol's work. I've served on the PTO board for three years. I can assure you that I would not do this if it weren't for Carol.

I have worked with Carol for three years, and I think my opinion of her can be summed up with three words: an outstanding principal.

I've enjoyed working with her in so many ways, both as a parent and a PTO president. What you see from her at school is what you get. By the end of the second day of school last fall, she had already learned and remembered the names of almost all of the kids in the building.

I was born here, and so were my parents and children. I will work beside anyone and they will be my equal, but I draw the line when told I must pay and continue paying for something that happened over 200 years ago. Like most Australians, I worked for my land; no one gave it to me.

I think the fact the parents are engaged, we're all talking about it, will make this work out very well.

This is a positive way for the community to work together to make our town look its very best. By having this Rid-Litter Day, we hope picking up litter will become contagious and build pride in our community.
