Letter To The Editor: Concerning The Bond Election
By CAMILLE MORRISONMassengale: How Education Has Shaped This Town
By KATE MASSENGALE Ph.DIt will come as no surprise that I support the increase of one mil for UNM-LA this January, as I began teaching there in 1993 and retired as Dean of Instruction in 2013. But my commitment to education began a long time ago. Despite having no children of our own, my husband Bill and I have always voted to support K-12 education wherever we lived. And we have given to our alma maters Texas A & M and Rice University. But in recent years, we have focused our giving to UNM-LA because of its great need.

Letter To The Editor: Seeing Both Sides Of The Coin
By LAURA LOYI find myself in a unique position to see why both issues being raised on the mail-in ballot in January are worthy of our community’s support, and here is why.
First and foremost, I am the parent of a student attending Barranca Mesa Elementary School. While the initiative to rebuild Barranca will most likely not benefit my daughter personally before she moves on to Los Alamos Middle School, I fully support the bond being put forth by Los Alamos Public Schools. Our investment in education is so important to our community and especially our youth, who are the leaders of the future.

LAPS Superintendent

Ideas that may help us make the days count for our students and everyone on staff:
- Community: we are part of many different communities – family, faith, friends and school. This creates diversity, which is good and makes for wonderful celebrations.
- Empathy: we can learn to see the world through others’ perspectives. While this is a time of happiness for many, it also can be
