Your View

Ann Kelleher of Charlestown submitted this letter to the editor, forwarded by Christa Kelleher of Arlington:

This past Dec, 17 I attended the Arlington High School winter concert and was treated to an evening of incredible singers and instrumentalists. What talented musicians and ensembles, which included a pianist as well as a solo harpist! Their teacher and conductors are to be commended for their commitment, dedication and total immersion in their students’ performance, which was outstanding.

It was impressive to listen and watch the students performing with enthusiasm before a grateful audience. I say grateful, because at a time when there is so much strife in our world, the students gave us pause to absorb their sense of joy in their performance and showcase their incredible talents.

For example, the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in June on Roe v Wade must have echoes here, too. Letters are reviewed for fairness, factualness and taste.

This site welcomes letters about any issue that stirs the public mind. Longer opinion pieces are also welcome.

Please support your view with facts and arguments that attempt to adhere to reason.

You may write on any subject, so long as you try to make a connection to Arlington. If you can't do that, then your residence in town will be a sufficient connection.
