Editor:

I have attended many May Days since moving here in in 2005.

My daughter also happily participated with all her willing classmates, and they were sad to hear future students would not get to experience the joy, history and dancing of May Day in school.

We continue to attend May Day and love the way it is evolving, as long as everyone enjoys it. Isn’t it really for the kids and the community to come together — can’t get better than that.
