We've been talking with Principal Jay Gaines of William Pitcher Junior High because he has a teacher in his school who is friends with one of the principals at Gateway.

We didn't know how it would go over, especially at the high school, but everyone did a great job. Not to take away from other organizations we have helped, but it's hard to ask parents to give more money, even if it is for a worthy cause, but this book drive worked great.

You're not talking one gun. You had three guns here. It was very traumatic for the victim.

We're talking about your out-of-the-box, non-vanilla type of plays. It should be fun.

In high school we didn't really throw the ball around. When I heard the type of offense he was talking about, I was really excited. I knew I was going to have to get the job done.

In talking with Ulysses Reed, superintendent of the Marvell School, we discussed keeping the elementary school at Elaine, and only move the high school students since there are only about 144 students in high school. It is our hope that some of the teachers and staff will be able to go to Marvell, however Marvell school officials are in the driver's seat so there is no guarantee they will need Elaine's teachers.
