while i'm excited and relieved that our 5th graders will indeed get to go to camp this year--albeit for only 2.5 days at the YMCA's camp oaks--i'm saddened that the 60 year tradition of LBUSD students going to camp hi-hill is over...from what i've heard, some people on the school board have had it in for hi-hill for a long time... that's why it was so encouraging to see our superintendent and other head honchos at the 60 year anniversary party last may (where i was lucky enough to help provide some musical entertainment).
this article in the district raises some interesting questions as to why LBUSD closed hi-hill...
obviously it's more politically expedient for the district to site fire and safety concerns than it is to say we don't want to pay for the poor kids to go to camp, but either way--super sad.
