Replacement for target.
Since target is closing in Brandon manitiba which I am sad about they should replace it with a Costco.

If they did this I feel that slot of people would be happy. That is my opinion. 

Recesses longer

Virden Junior High needs to have longer recesses. They are too short, the reason why I say this is because we as students don't get a lot of time outside. I hope this goes into consideration.
