Robert Cumming comments on sale of trophies Robert Cumming writes: I find it appalling that any high school would ever think of auctioning off any school "surplus" trophies. Who defines a physical manifestation (trophy) of school pride, spirit and achievement as "surplus"? If storage space is a consideration I'm sure the school vocational wood shop students are capable of building new hall way display cabinets. Concerned people should immediately contact school Superintendant Reed and all school board members and stop this trophy sale travesty before it happens ASAP. - Robert Cumming 2015-03-16 10:44:40 | Comments | Printable version
