Most school boards have one or two student representatives who provide very brief reports from time to time. Bangor High School senior Victoria Swanson has that role, and gave the mother of all student reports at last night's Bangor Area School Board meeting. She talked about everything that's going on at the school, and with such contagious enthusiasm that I almost wanted to repeat high school. For example, "It was so awesome to win the Colonial league title, and the other team was like, 'oh yeah'"). At another point, she mentioned that she is the President of the Ecology Club and picked up her arm to say, "Go green." She is probably the best speaker I have heard in some time and was completely at ease. Though she went on at length, everyone had big smiles when she was done.
School Board President Michael Goffredo joked, "We should keep you around next year so we can hear we are amazing, awesome and super!"

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
