Glad to have you on board Amanda. It’s awesome to see the ‘Miller loyalty’ all of the alumni seem to share, regardless of age.

Thanks for joining the effort. Smart young folks are needed to really kick this thing in the ass!

Comment on WHS applies for the IB diploma programme by Jean Adams

I just heard that Washburn is NOT starting the IB program in the Fall of 2010 as we had been told at the open house. Is that accurate?

The caption on the middle (or second) photo reads “Another view from Nicollet.” This is incorrect. The photo is looking east TOWARD Nicollet Avenue. St. John’s Lutheran Church located on the corner of 49th and Nicollet is clearly visible on the top left. The church is also in the middle of the bottom (third) photo.

Three considerations from the opposition (not to spirit but to educational, economic, and sociological wisdom of $400K for Wburn–one high school.

1) Get other 6 schools involved, see whether you might offer some inspiration and seed money. And why not St. Paul too. Forget the rich burbs, and whole state, too big a first bite.
2) Get Washburn teachers, students, parents, et all, to reconsider final list of how to spend the $400. I’d sure find $150 for teacher who says, “My room needs three maps.” More teaching value than scoreboard or school sign. And what kind of proposal allocated 1/4 of total to single person, however grand and lovely (and I’m not teasing, really).
3) Get Dan Pratt and other athletic directors to meet with owners (PR folks) at 4 pro sports franchises. Propose that they give big, not just for athletics, but to schools who have given and will give them audiences.

Glad to help on any ideas that go in this spirit of what some today (like Michael Moore) sometimes call “Socialism.” Rather than democracy. Fairness.

Best at the Parkway–best popcorn, sound, and size of all the rest–even some 65 years ago when I first went.
