District 150 is closing Woodruff

I think that District 150 is making a big mistake in deciding to close Woodruff Highschool. I think thatthey shoul instead close Central Highschool because its older than Woodruff and is more rundown. It would also be better if they didn't close either of them because all of the kids in both of the schools have to go to one school and it will be a lot harder to do the classes for all the students and they might even have to have school at night and on weekends.

The Inauguration

I think that the new president will be better than the last one because President Bush was more concerned about the Department of Defense and President Obama went to the Department of State first. I would like the new president more if he was pro-life instead of pro-choice and Ihope pray that he will change his view of abortion. He made Hillary Clinton the Secretary of State and Ithink she will do a very good job.
