It’s probably not such a big deal, but I did not say I support Charter sch...
Editor: I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge our Havre High School pep band, cheerleaders and Blue Pony mascot. There is no doubt in my mind they all collectively are one of the best in the state. The enthusiasm and spirit they bring to the football field and the basketball court certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed by me or others in the crowd. The songs the band plays, the cheerleaders cheer in with the crowd and the mascot bouncing around all enrich the environment immensely. I want to personally thank all of the p...
