Patricia Franco, a student from Fall Mountain High School, writes to say that she and a group of fellow students are hoping that Walpolean readers will inform themselves about the future of the high school's French program after last week's bond issue vote failed to pass. "As a student congress," says Franco, "we have circulated petitions and gathered support from the populace. Student congress members plan to present their case to the school board at the beginning of the next meeting, Monday, March 23, using petitions and student based data to more clearly make our point."

     Further, she says, "We are encouraging you, student congress members and other members of the community to attend the meeting and to support us.  It is at 6:30 p.m. at Fall Mountain High School in the library.  Students will gather outside a half hour before the meeting to show their support of the French program."
