The following statement, read by Robbie Gaaserud, captain of the Freshmen Soccer Team at Darien High School at the Board of Education’s public hearing Tuesday night on the budget, got some laughs from the audience, along with applause:
Good evening. My name is Robbie Gaaserud. I live at 35 Driftway Lane, and I am a Ninth Grader at Darien High School. This fall I had the honor of serving as a captain of the Ninth Grade soccer team. I have been playing soccer since I was 4 years old, and I’ve been looking forward to the day that I could represent my high school on the soccer field.
