Dear Editor,
Hello! My name is Bo Owens. I am a fifth grader at Conway School in Mount Vernon, Washington. In fifth grade we do state reports and I chose the great state of Kansas. Part of our report is that we have to do a display about our state. I am hoping you can help me with this.
I would really appreciate it if you could send me information and artifacts about Kansas. Pamphlets, magazines, postcards, or souvenirs would all be really helpful. I’m also interested in how many people live in Kansas, what schools are like there, about different religions, different jobs, and information like that.
Thank you for taking my request into consideration. I appreciate you taking time to read my letter.

Sometimes, when law enforcement agencies announce someone has been arrested or charged with a crime, they mention that all individuals are presumed innocent until proven guilty. This principle places the burden of proof on the prosecution to show that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. It’s an important reminder because sometimes a person is arrested but never formally charged or a different charge than originally reported is filed. Other times, the case goes to court and the person is found not guilty. Still other times, the charges are filed but the case never goes to court because the case is dropped.
