Track update for Alpine High School - Alpine Daily Planet

The Daily Planet welcomes and encourages letters to the editor. All that we ask is that you keep them civilized and thoughtful. I know that tempers can run high on certain issues, but we all need to keep reminding ourselves that there are always two, three or more sides to an issue. And that's OK. Having different opinions and being able to freely express them is a foundation of democracy. Just keep them civil and respectful.
