Last month, the school’s music program won a prize valued at $11,000 as the top popular vote recipient in the NEMC “Music Is Life” contest.

Gun Debate, Solved: Merge the NRA with the NEA

  • January 16, 2013

by Dan White

NRA Executive Vice President Wayne La Pierre suggested On NBC’s Meet The Press last month that the right response to the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting was to arm school security officers.
