[Winona Online Democracy]
I had a paper copy of the questions so I scanned them and pasted them in
below.
I know the data on Kindergarten shows that all day did increase results
for the children in early elementary. I know that not all parents can
afford to send kids to the Tues. and Thurs. program. I have asked for
help with info. on this and they will post or I will forward it.
