  • What does one have to do to see other schools? From reading the paper, there are several who earned scholarships from IUPUI at Area 30, where's there students recognition? Or IU, Purdue and UIndy to list a few. It's always nice to read about other students that's passed thru the community.

    Just a thought......

    I believe UIndy was in last week. As for IU and Purdue, they don't do nearly the job that smaller schools do of promoting their students' accomplishments. We are reliant on the schools and family members to let us know about these things.

    Thanks for reading and caring about the accomplishments of our local students.
