Canyon School questions

| October 9, 2013 11:13 AM

My sister and I visited Hungry Horse in August. We lived in Hungry Horse in 1968-1969 and went to a school house for our elementary years. We walked, yes walked, from the church on the corner there through the open public park across the street then down over to the school. And we walked home.

We were wondering, why is the school shut down? Where are the children of Hungry Horse to go for recreation? Warmth in the winter and play time in the summer?

They have a perfectly good school, and no one is using it to shelter the children of Hungry Horse. Where are they to go?

They are left to sit in the house and watch their parental units buy and sell drugs, watch their neighbors shoot up or use drugs. So what do you all think they are learning?

There is no sense of community. On one half of the highway are good citizens, then on the other side drug city?

An awful shame I say on no police patrol there and no safe haven for the children of Hungry Horse.
