I liked the community that I was a part of in the RMHS marching band. We had 4 month season that started in the summer and continued until Nov. It included summer band camp, performing at football games, parades and most importantly competitions. I met all my close friends in the band and have great memories of all or our experiences. One thing I would like change is the amount of freedom that was given during our senior year. I think we should have had more opportunity to be off campus during lunch and studies to help prepare for the college environment.
Reading has great schools. However, several budget cuts have been made in the last few years which have impacted the school system negatively. Since Reading is a town that refuses to let in any businesses whatsoever, there was an override that was recently passed, but even with that positions at the high school were still cut. I would like to see a town as well as a school system that manages their money better and has the best interests of all types of students that enroll in the schools, including those on IEPs.
Personally when I attended Reading public schools I always wished there were more things to do when involving the arts. I believe that allowing students to have an outlet like art, music, or sports is important. I just hope they will put money into the music and art programs like they do the sports programs because they are just as important.
