Great game sainters 👍

A very compelling read. rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

This is an excellent but alarming article about a well-meaning but misguided new policy on suspensions in public schools. The author - channelling Sir Humphrey Appleby perhaps - calls it brave. If you care about public schools please read it. gregashman.wordpress.com/2020/08/28/sus…

Well done #stkildfc great to be there to cheer on for the win #TogetherWeRise
