Today is large group. The newspaper came out last Friday and we had a successful distribution. Hopefully this next issue will run better. I have really wanted to write an opinion piece for the last two issues but I keep being told that there is no space. Not fair. Do we only have room for one "guest" opinion writer each issue? I don't think that should be the case, or who decides who gets to write a piece or not. It makes me quite upset. I think we have some good ideas for next issue as well.

I read an interesting article in the World-Herald today about healthcare centers in OPS Elementary Schools. Students will be able to receive basic healthcare at any six schools in the OPS District. I think this is a great idea and we should investigate whether or not District 66 will be planning to implement something similar, especially after Obama's health bill passed. OPS probably chose to set up these healthcare clinics because of the several families who are low-income in their district, while most Westside Schools do not have this problem. (Stereotypical I know...)
