Wednesday night's Newton Booth Neighborhoods Association meeting saw an increase in teenage members. Held at Temple Coffee's 28th and S streets location, the meeting was attended by Country Day high school students and several faculty members, including headmaster Steve Repsher.

Schools are integral to healthy neighborhoods and we are so lucky to have Country Day School here. Now...let's get to work on getting another public high school in addition to the Met in Southside, into Midtown. savemidtown 2009-11-20T04:49:05Z
