A Class Present

How wonderfully refreshing to open the Ventura County Edition of the Los Angeles Times recently and read about the Ventura High School graduating seniors who are building a gift from their class to the school. It was an ambitious plan to be sure, with a fountain bubbling up from a pool, surrounded by flowers and shrubs.
Instead of graffiti splashed on walls, their fellow students were enlisted to donate time and effort in any capacity they wished. Those students’ efforts would be remembered and cherished for years to come.
Wouldn’t it be great if every school in the county left something of beauty to be enjoyed by all? It would certainly beat rioting and trashing everything in sight.
