Article 13 and You: A Little Look at a Small School by Indigo Cisneros published on 2020-04-30T01:20:01Z ENTRY FOR THE 2020 NPR STUDENT PODCAST CHALLENGE -- The local government and citizens of Milton, New Hampshire proposed a vote to close the town’s historic high school and merge with a larger school in a nearby city. The school's students and staff alike began to fear the potential end of their community. Indigo (Grade 11), in defense of his school, tells his story of what it is like to live in a rural "middle-of-nowhere" town, and how he, the students and staff feel about being overlooked for being a small school. Genre Learning Comment by Daniel Wang Hey Indigo, I just wanted to say that I loved your episode. I know that federal funding for small schools may be a controversial topic, but I really appreciate hearing a fresh perspective from the population that this problem ultimately affects. 2020-06-03T14:24:37Z Comment by TheGreyCast Great work Indie! This literally almost made me cry : ) -Noah (haylee) 2020-06-01T12:32:07Z Comment by Byron Cisneros "We make more with what we have" this rural community should abide by this concept. Small schools are fine, leave them alone. 2020-05-01T13:38:18Z
