__________________________________________
Mr. Fonseca was a graduate (class of 2003) of Sprayberry High School. The funeral procession was planned to go by Sprayberry at 10:25am and pause for a few moments in front of his old high school.
Principal Susan Galante, acting on orders from higher-up's, did not allow students to go outside and pay their respects to their former student, friend and fallen soldier, citing a rule that banned more than one school function per day. (A pep rally was scheduled for later in the afternoon).
There were no announcements to the student to alert them that the procession was passing or to give them the opportunity to pay their respects other than a few teachers and coaches (2 or 3 teachers) alerting their individual students that the procession was heading by the school and allowing them to go outside.
Yeah, I heard Kim Peterson on the radio this afternoon
about this he was livid and rightly so.
Semper Fi bump.

Any more updates about Sprayberry's (lack of) a principle?
T here is the guest book where we can leave our respect for a fallen American hero. Please ping your list. The family was denied their request by a school official to allow his friends their last respects.

Please remember to visit the Prayer vigil for the Iraqi elections thread, and post your prayers for the safety of the troops who are risking their lives for this election.
If you want on/off my prayer ping list, please let me know. All requests happily honored.
This is totally unbelievable. So unbelievable I am lost for words.
Outraged bump!
If I were the parents of those teenagers I would take my kids out of school and then do a demonstration -prayer vigil- or something right in front of the principal's window!
Please notify me via FReepmail if you would like to be added to or taken off the Prayer Ping List.
Please post your prayers to GeorgiaBushie;
Please pray for this fallen Marine and his family.

Principal Susan Galante, acting on orders from higher-up's,
Grrrrrrrr!
I wonder who the higher-up's are, and why they are dumber than a small pile of rocks.
And just what their E-mail address is.
Any bets we could crash it?
If you find out more let us know please.
Remember, don't get mad....get even.
Thanks for the ping. I extended my condolences to them in their guestbook. Unbelieveable the school is more concerned with a pep rally, than paying their respects!! grrrr...
