Dear Editor:

On behalf of the Eastside staff and myself, please accept our thanks for your support throughout the school year.

I would like to extend special thanks to all of you who have given of your time to volunteer in our school. Your presence and support make a difference!

I would also like to thank our outgoing PTO President, Cherie Spencer, and all the members of our PTO Board who spend many hours supporting our students and staff.

To all of our parents thank you for supporting your children during our fundraisers.

I want to wish all of our families a fun-filled and safe summer.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
