Over the last few weeks, I have gotten pretty serious when writing this column. This week I’m going to try something a little different.
It’s time for some kudos. As I’m writing this, I just returned to the office after picking up my fifth-grade daughter from school. And after hearing her excitedly tell me about her day, I have to say kudos to Page Unified School District and Colorado River Discovery for taking many of the fifth graders on raft trips down the Colorado River.
For at least one child, it was easily the best day of the year. Those who attend our schools get to live in the middle of one of the world’s most beautiful places year round, but a lot of the fun events related to tourists seem to be out of our reach. I have been here a year and haven’t been able to take a raft trip down the river, but Isabella has and for that, I am grateful.
Several weeks ago I was critical of the Page City Council for using vague wording when going into executive sessions. I noticed at the very next meeting they had a couple more executive sessions, but the wording on the agenda was much more descriptive. So kudos to the city council and city staff for letting us know what they are discussing.
