Crest graduate says goodbye to his second family
For some, saying goodbye to high school means moving on from just another building.
For Elisha Wellmon, saying goodbye to Crest High School is like parting with family. A member of the school s class of 2021, Wellmon has been coming to Crest since he was still a child.
For much of his life Wellmon s mother, Brenda, was a history teacher at Crest. Growing up, Wellmon said he would take a school bus over to the high school to meet her before going home for the day. I ve been coming to Crest High School for 15, 16 years now, he said. I know everybody. I knew the teachers, the students. I ve seen people come here as interns and become teachers.
WASHINGTON
The $6 trillion in federal spending that President Biden will propose Friday in his budget request for the coming fiscal year reflects both ambitious goals for reinvigorating the economy through government action and a head-on challenge to his Republican opponents in Congress.
By seeking billions of additional dollars for new infrastructure, aid to education, help for middle-class families, new environmental programs and a host of other domestic initiatives, Biden promises to ramp up economic growth and make the United States more competitive globally, boost the long-stagnant incomes of most American workers and combat climate change.
And by proposing the largest annual federal budget in constant dollars since World War II, he is laying down a political gauntlet to Republicans who are betting they can obstruct his initiatives and break Democrats’ shaky majorities in Congress in next year’s midterm election.
