Letter To The Editor: Response To Importance Of Political Parties
By DENNIS LITTLE
Los ALamos
Mr. Kerr,
Perhaps I’m in the minority, I’m not sure and I’ve never seen a study to confirm. I was raised by a single mother who wasn’t political at all. To the best of my knowledge, she never voted in her life.

With regards to the rest of your letter, I disagree.
The House (with a Democratic majority) has passed a great number of bills, Read More

By DAVID LYONSWhen my wife and I decided to move back to White Rock with our two young children more than a decade ago, I knew one thing for certain: Our kids would receive a great education. A White Rock native, I grew up in the Los Alamos Public School system, going first to Chamisa Elementary and then to the Middle and High Schools. I knew first-hand the high quality of education here and was excited to know that our kids would benefit from the same. And they have.

Letter To The Editor: Pleasure To Support Bernstein
By TRAVIS RICHINSIt is my pleasure to write in support of Chris Bernstein for a position on the Los Alamos Public School Board.
I attended Los Alamos school system from kindergarten to 12th grade, and ultimately graduated in May of 2013. During my time at Los Alamos High School I had the pleasure of getting to know Mrs. Bernstein, or Mrs. B as we called her.
I cannot over-stress the point that she was the most influential teacher in my high school years. She exhibits extraordinary passion while teaching, but more importantly, she cares for her students as people. She not only pays Read More
