Student Town Hall Meeting on changing mascots was very low key

Eleven students attended tonight Peru Central School Town Hall Student Meeting. The School Board’s recent decision to retire the Peru “Indian” mascot was the subject. Superintendent Dr. Thomas Palmer led the discussion. Student speakers included Remi Beauharnois, Madeline Madore, Rachael Witkiewicz and Kash Palmer.  Most, if not all, the students supported the name change,  but they thought more people should have been involved in the process. High School Principal Matt Berry also spoke. Dr. Palmer promised that students and interested alumni will be invited to participate in choosing the new mascot.
