致编辑的一封信：为何新建莱镇高中是正确的选择! (Letter to the Editor: Why building a new high school is the right choice for Lexington)

选择新建一所莱镇高中，而不是翻新现有校舍，这是一个经过深思熟虑、以社区为中心的决定——它优先保障了教育的连续性、学生的福祉，以及整个城镇的长期价值。近期社区成员与镇政府官员之间的沟通，也进一步说明了为何学校建设委员会（SBC）最终选择新建项目，而不是尝试在现址进行大规模翻修。请阅读莱镇华协LPS/PTO联络人Catherine Telliez 致编辑的一封信，翻译: Christine Hu.

The decision to build a new Lexington High School rather than renovate the existing one represents a thoughtful, community-centered choice — one that prioritizes educational continuity, student well-being and long-term value for the town. Recent correspondence among community members and town officials highlights the key reasons the School Building Committee (SBC) moved toward new construction rather than attempting an in-place renovation.

我们邀请您从2025年4月到2026 年 7 月之间完成至少 10 小时的志愿服务。随着志愿服务时数的累计，位于镇政府大楼前的VO250 拱门上的灯泡将逐步点亮，每达到一个里程碑时数，都会有新的灯光亮起。照片里是镇里各社区组织代表在9月12日庆祝VO250累计时数已超过80,000小时！莱镇华协因组织多项大活动贡献了大量义工服务小时。
