sideways, chocolate in one hand, a drink in the other, body thoroughly used
up, totally worn out and screaming 'WOO HOO. What a ride!'"

Question: what is the tuition for a SINGLE student attending Logos? For
NSA? Surely, $8k is a drop in th bucket compared to the amount the Logos
students have to pay and yet their testing scores ARE DROPPING and the MSD
scores are RISING!!!
Not to mention, but I will, that Logos is loosing students to the public
school system.
No matter how you colour it, MSD is the better deal all around. Vote YES on
the levy this March.
