Teacher Appreciation Week Successful Thanks To Community

Dear Editor,
  The faculty and staff of Davidson Elementary School would like to give our heartfelt thanks to all of the community members, businesses, and parents who made Teacher Appreciation Week so special at our school.
  This is such a busy time of year for educators, and all of you went above and beyond to make our week memorable. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast, drinks, and snacks that we were treated to. The businesses of our community went out of their way to provide wonderful door prizes. We certainly appreciate your thoughtfulness during Teacher Appreciation Week, and we are thankful to work in a school district that has a wonderful, caring community.
  Sincerely,
  Faculty and Staff of
  Davidson Elementary School

Reader Questions Price Difference Between Valley And Batesville

Dear Editor:
  News sources indicate gas prices are down now. Right? We can see this for ourselves because prices in W.V. have dropped to about 3.59 (regular) from $3.69. Problem is that Batesville is pricing regular for $3.25, or about 35 cents a gallon cheaper. Let’s see, to fill a 20 gallon tank, that’s about $7 a tank extra profit! Why do the W.V. distributors do this? One reason only—Because they can!
