There were 60 responses to this week’s Tele-Talk question: "What is your opinion of the idea to honor Kennett High’s Class of 2020 with signs along North-South Road?" The majority of those who responded were in support of signs being placed in the community in support of the Class of 2020, but some were concerned about placement along the North-South Road and suggested other options.
I think the sign project is such a touching way to outwardly express our appreciation for the KHS Class of 2020. There hasn't been any concerns or conflicts expressed about the signs at Memorial, so why now for the kids? They could use all the accolades we can muster during this challenge. I would like to see town hall lean forward a little more on these issues as our "new normal" needs creative leadership now more than ever. Chris Perley
