Editor:

Thank you for providing a newspaper for this community. I enjoy reading about things online that I otherwise may not be aware of.

The following are suggestions to make The News a better newspaper. In the sports section, all the communities represented should have page-long coverage of school activities. The News represents five major schools: Mid-Prairie, Iowa Mennonite, Highland, Lone Tree and Pathway Christian.

There should be enough activities at each school to fill a whole page.

I have two sons – one at Iowa Mennonite and one at Mid-Prairie. There are enough activities for one page for both of those schools.

I have yet to find a high school parent who is happy with The News coverage for their school.

Finally, it is beneficial for the community to know of events such as fundraisers, school performances, church-sponsored events, etc. before they happen to increase camaraderie and attendance.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.
