Respond to local online newspaper

I am not from La Crosse and so to find out what is happening in the town I am from Chippewa Falls; I have to go online to read the paper. While reading, I came across many interesting articles. One in particular I found was about Chippewa Falls Senior High School student basketball fans getting in a shoving and pushing fight with Eau Claire North basketball fans. The article explained that the playoff game between these two teams was great, but the things that occurred after the loss to North were kind of bad, but not horrible. It was great that the athletic director responded accordingly. I am just surprised an article like this one would be put in the newspaper. There have been a lot of articles about the high school I graduated from and they all haven’t been the most positive either. A lot of the articles have to do with students dealing drugs or possessing them. There have also been cases of fighting in the parking lot that involved the police. I feel like the newspaper is trying to show how bad Chi-Hi (Chippewa Falls Senior High School) is. I have never seen so much news coming from that school, even when I attended the high school. If someone from out of town was thinking of moving to Chippewa Falls, what do you think they would think about the school just by reading articles from the online newspaper? I certainly would reconsider letting my child attend that school because of what I am reading in the newspaper. I have attended this high school, but now have second thoughts of in the future having my children go to this school. It is not like Chi-Hi is a bad school, I just don’t like when the newspaper gives the school a bad rap. It seems like a lot of bad things are happening at this school, according to the local newspaper. I wish they wouldn’t concentrate all their time on informing us about what happened lately at the school. If the newspaper wants to mention the school more in the paper they need to focus on more of the positive things that happen at the school, so then we can make our town not look like the town we shouldn’t be.
