True Bulldog Pride

This comment is worthy of its own post and we didn't want it to get lost in the shuffle.

Hoping this can be it's own entry.

I would like to thank everyone for the support that has been shown to myself and the color guard squad. We really do appreciate it. However, the squad and myself would like to move on and concentrate on the great squad we are growing into.

The squad is excited to now be at eight members.
The girls are proud to welcome the two young gentlemen who joined the squad and now spin airblades.

So with that said, we are hoping that we can move on from the whole stipend debacle. It has never been about the money for me, it has always been about how it was handled.

Again, I personally thank you all for your continued support. Please come to out to the football games and support the Bulldogs and let the band and color guard entertain you.
Stop by and say hello, we will be glad to meet you.

Go Bulldogs.....Forever Blue and Gold!

An even new low for Marlys

We didn't want this to get lost in an older post. It's unbelievable that Marlys would have the audacity to send such a letter to Mrs. Wilson. Marlys, your signature is now on two letters, sounds like your the one who needs to start apologizing.

And so the nastiness continues...I was informed tonight that Donna Wilson received a certified letter (costing who? the taxpayers? $5.54 to send)dated June 24th, and signed by Marlys Mihok (again) stating that the School Board expects her to attend the August meeting and apologize to the "drill team".

First of all, let me state simply that my daughter will not be attending any more board meetings. She had witnessed enough to come to her own conculsions about some members of the board. I do not inform her of the many atrocites that go on at these meetings, so this was a clear example of actions speaking louder than words. After she attended the June meeting she stated that Hellman didn't pay attention to anyone speaking, rolled his eyes and made faces, and various other board members were just as disrespecful in an eleven year old's eyes.

Second of all, as a parent of one of the girls on the Color Guard Squad if anyone should ask for an apology from Donna Wilson it should be myself or another parent, NOT anyone on the school board. Not to mention, all of the parents of the squad members were present at that meeting and were witness to everyone's actions - including Mrs. Wilson's. We have all extensively discussed the events of that night and I do not feel that Donna owes anyone an apology - especially the school board.

If anyone owes anyone an apology it is the school board for causing all of this drama around something so positive. They are the proponents of this fiasco and they are the ones that are continuing while all we want to do is move forward and look to fantastic football games and halftime shows!

"I will continue to be there for my Color Guard Squad"

The following is a comment from Donna Wilson , the girls Color Guard coach, whose stipend was reduced by 75% with no explanation from the board this past Wed evening. We have decided to give it its own post. Donna, the community will rally behind you and your squad, just as we always have! Here is Donna's comment:

"Just to be clear, this is my first comment on this site. My name is Donna Wilson. I want to say that I am very disappointed of the out come at the meeting on Wednesday night. However, it was not enough to break me. I will continue to be there for my Color Guard squad. They are a great bunch of girls who have worked hard to get to where they are. I am very proud of them. I have no idea why the board has it out for me. However, taking it out on me through my stipen was aimed at me, but the girls on the squad were the one that were hurt by the actions. When you hurt their coach, you hurt them. We are all for one and one for all. They were able to see first hand that people with vendettas will strike out no matter who is in their way. I have only tried, in the past four years to be a positive mentor for the students on my squad, as well as the rest of the students that I know. I will continue to have a positive attitude for my squad. I do appologize for my outburst as I left the meeting. It was not necessary. Unfortunatly I let my frustration take over. My appology is meant for my squad. It was not a good example set by myself for them. It is something I will discuss with them.
The Morrisville High School Color Guard Squad and myself would like to thank those who care for their continued support. We will be working hard over the summer to give you a great halftime program next year. Looking forward to seeing all of those who care in the stands in the fall."
