VENICE - Venice Community School District #3 has announced that they will build a new elementary school, with plans to break ground in Spring 2024. “What we’re looking forward to, as a school district, staff, community and students, is just opportunity,” Superintendent Cynthia Tolbert said. “Our educational learning environment is going to be better. We’re going to be able to offer more opportunities for the children. We’re going to have learning spaces that are going to be conducive to student learning.” This new building will mark the end of a tumultuous few years in the district.

This is going to sound weird, but hear me out. There are upwards of 4,300 religions in the world, and even faithful churchgoers don't believe in 4,299 of them. My only difference with them is that I don't believe in 4,300. Is that really such a big deal?
