Editor,
We want to say “thank you” to the Polson School System for all their hard work in securing the State Speech and Debate Meet and for operating such a well-run event. While certainly not every event that comes to town reaches all of our members and local businesses, we have heard from several that were very positively affected by having this large group of students and their family members in our community. Furthermore, we have also heard that several of the attendees, supervisors and spectators have complimented the Polson staff on the overall organization of the event. From what we understand, Scott Wilson, Jon and Bonnie Peterson, Pat Cross and several others were instrumental in securing and coordinating this event. There were also many teachers who contributed their time to help run the event, and more than 300 community members volunteered their time to help judge.
We are very proud of our schools and our community, and we just wanted to take this opportunity to acknowledge their contribution to our overall economic vitality, and thank them for their efforts.
