Sacramento Press / High school students welcomed to Newton Booth neighborhood




Sacramento Press / High school students welcomed to Newton Booth neighborhood:

"Wednesday night's Newton Booth Neighborhoods Association meeting saw an increase in teenage members.

Held at Temple Coffee's 28th and S streets location, the meeting was attended by Country Day high school students and several faculty members, including headmaster Steve Repsher. Though a long permit process lies ahead, the school is closer to the goal of moving into the vacant Newton Booth School, 2600 V St., by August.

The neighborhood group consisted of residents from three areas: Poverty Ridge, Newton Booth and Alhambra Triangle. Richard 'Bud' Halliday, Newton Booth Neighborhoods Association president, welcomed the school's representatives and invited them to attend future meetings."
