Letter to the editor: Act now to keep our children safe

Do we need to wait until disaster strikes before we act?

Our schools were built in a very different time. Today the children have safe school drills. We cannot keep our children safe in some of the schools. For example, there is no way to monitor all the entrances at Helena High School.

My husband Jack and I had four sons graduate from Helena High School. All received a great quality education and are now good contributing citizens. I am watching our grandchildren do the same

We are so fortunate at the opportunities the Helena Schools provide. We need to act now to keep our children safe.

Penny Copps,

Helena
