GREENVILLE SCHOOL LEVY
Greenville will do the right thing
By Bob Robinson
I was substituting in a second grade class when the storm hit.
Lightning, thunder, rain coming down in sheets. A couple of the
children got scared, started crying. I got them calmed down, but then
two others had to go to the bathroom. Woodland, to handle overcrowding,
uses modules to provide classroom space to the student population... Read
