That is a shame. I feel bad for this young man. I hope he seeks an education somewhere. Although his dreams of playing football on a team of his close peers seems to have evaporated.

The short answer as to why your child was assigned to JM is simple. You live in Siler City. Part of the reason Northwood is overcrowded comes down to districting.

Subject: Posting for Lost Animals

I sincerely hope that anyone who has a pet lost will not bediscouraged from posting on the Chatlist for help in locating your animal.

The negative comments about losing pets may keep some pet owners from posting, and keep them from getting help that they would otherwise receive by posting here.

Most of the people that take time to post here are extremely helpful and caring.

If one of my pets was missing, this is the first place I’d go asking for assistance in spotting it.
