One of the most emotional moments we’ve ever experienced is observing the Survivors’ Walk at the Relay for Life event each year. Those participating in the walk are cancer survivors. It’s hard for spectators to contain their emotions.
Among those spectators are family and friends of the cancer survivors. They’ve seen what their loved ones have endured to battle the horrible disease that is no respecter of persons. Its victims include all ages and races.

I am writing this letter to let readers know about Power School, Lancaster County School District’s newest form of communication with parents. Parents can now see the students’ grades online. I feel that this is a good tool to use for the parents, but makes it challenging for the students.
