0To the Editor, I would like to take a few minutes of your time to express my feelings on the upcoming referendum vote. First off I would like to say that our entire family is HHS graduates. Do I think that there needs to be some things done at the school—yes—but not the frivolous things. I think that… Read More

0To the Editor, Concerning the upcoming “RE” Vote to spend 27 million of our dollars to make the Henning School look “better.” Much of the rhetoric I’ve been reading seems to have more to do with aesthetics than education. A recent article in the Epoch Times, telling how attendance in public schools across the nation has been… Read More

0To the Editor, I am frustrated. Following a no vote for the school referendum by the voters in November, the school board has chosen to go ahead and ask for virtually the same referendum, a mere six months later. I feel it is important to remind the school board that they represent not only the “yes”… Read More

0To the Editor, Justin and I moved to Henning in 2005 to open our fiberglass manufacturing business. When we moved here, we had no thoughts of building a business with a physical location in Henning.

Under this legislation, state taxpayers would pay for all K-12 students to receive both breakfast and lunch at no cost. This bill may seem well-intended, but once you review the details, it’s clear that… Read More

0To the Editor, Both my husband and I have spent our entire lives in Henning. We were born and raised, attended school, and now have decided to continue to make Henning our home.

0To the editor, Large efforts have been made to achieve two school referendum plans and the marketing has been top notch but a number of legitimate questions/concerns have been raised and remain unanswered to the best of my knowledge. The heating system is overdue for an upgrade and should be addressed as a priority. One has… Read More
