Public Comment
Appreciate everything the school does, Good Friday should be off for the Easter holiday. Situations have come up with Holy Thursday and sporting events. Coaches are always cooperative to make things work. Please consider having Good Friday as the holiday. There have been events scheduled in the past on Good Friday involving students. Want to see Good Friday kept holy. The Tridium from Holy Thursday through Easter Sunday is a very holy time. I fear our nation is becoming very secular and that Christmas will be next to be taken away. Good Friday has typically been the holiday and still be able to travel to be back on Monday.
