There are many other ways to cut costs besides removing programs. I hope that parents can rally together, along with school officials, to eliminate such discussion of cuts.

With a district hit by budget cuts and restraints in excess of 9 million, everyone should be looking for strategies to promote our youth in a more cost efficient manner in all areas, whether academics or extracurricular. Everyone should keep in mind, too, that what we do in education is all about our children.

I would say i have to agree with miss Beverly. It's not fair to Kershaw County schools that below Varsity sports should have to be cut. I am a freshman at Camden High school and i cheer on the JV cheerleading squad. Camden is already moving down to a 2-A school, and cutting our JV and freshman team will make this schools Varsity sports teams look very amateur, because of a lack of practice for the students who weren't on Varsity already. I think that instead of cutting sports teams we should be cutting back on some of the other things that aren't necessary that we are spending money on.

Daily Horoscope for December 20

Aquarius

This is another day when financial matters cause trouble, as Mars reverses in your seventh house. What started off as a minor niggle with a partner or an opponent yesterday could now escalate into a full-blown row, but at least this will give you the chance to get certain things out into the open. Legal issues from the past may become ugly. If you're pointing the finger of blame at someone, don't get so heated that you accuse them of everything under the sun.
