$290,000 (State cost earned per pupil = $5,800 x 50). If we keep
sports, it would cost us roughly $140,000.
It is better to pay the $140,000 than lose a minimum of
$290,000. Cutting sports means we would lose MORE academ-

Letter to the Editor

To the Editor:
I am a sophomore at KHS, an honors student and a two-sport
athlete. I’m writing to express concerns relative to the Keystone
School District levy. In January, the school board decided to put
up a 7.95 millage levy, citing speci?c programs and teaching po-
sitions that would be eleminated it the levy does not pass in May.
Passage of the levy would gurantee the school district’s ability
to continue offering many different classes and extracurricular
activities. Students can be heard discussing their futures and how
those plans would be negatively affected by another failed levy.
Many also talk about the necessity of AP and other college-prep
classses. Colleges today are looking for students who are more
than the typical student in a traditional school environment. Keystone CFO Susan Bement, Linda Hyland and State Audi-

Grafton Grangers 4-H Club

The Grafton Grangers met on April 23. The meeting was held
at 6:30 p.m. in the Grafton Community Room. Several of the
club members and advisors went to the training sessions at the
Lorain County JVS. Also, several members have signed up to
participate in the Pledge and Creed contest that is held on May
11, at 6:30 p.m. at the Lorain County JVS. Project and record
books were passed out at this meeting. At the end of this meeting,
the whole club had fun making butter in jars. An awesome team
building activity followed. They have wrapped up their candy
bar sales for this year. Thank you to those that helped support
them. Just a reminder that demonstrations will be starting at the
next meeting, which will be held on May 7, at 6:30 p.m. in the
Grafton Community Room in North Park.
