The Editor’s Notes
This is the final week of the school year for many of you, and Jeff McDaris is also wrapping up his playlist for the 23-24 school year, The Journey Continues. 211 songs in all — and 686 songs over his playlists for the last four years — the five most recently added songs are fitting for graduation and the moving on that comes with this time of year. Take a listen and enjoy over the summer. Thank you, sir, for giving us a way to transition at the end of the school week.
ICYMI, please take our survey over the week on the issues that matter most to you. Your voice matters.
As the school year comes to a close, please know how thankful we are for you. Mebane
