Someone claiming to be the "Director of Public Relations" at the school has been moving information from the school's website into this article. If this is you, please stop-- the tone does not match that of an encyclopedic article, and (while its source is obvious) you have not cited any sources. I am removing the content for now, if someone wouldn't mind going back later to put it into a more encyclopedic form, I'd be most appreciative, as I'm a student at the school myself.

Jellocube27, I am Beverly Berkeley, director of public relations at Solebury School. I have the authority to put proper information about Solebury School on this page. I'd appreciate it if you didn't feel inclined to delete important information for others to read and learn about our school. Thanks, Beverly Berkeley

I am not challenging your authority to put proper information regarding the school-- that is absolutely encouraged. However, you are presenting the information in a manner which is not in accordance to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy. Your contributions, quite honestly, read a bit like an advertisement for Solebury School! Jellocube27 07:31, 6 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I go to Solebury too, and I think that showing the school as perfect is not helpful. Solebury has some really wonderful things that other people may see as negative (no school is perfect for everybody), so especially on a website that is subjective, it is imporatnt to show all the aspects of a school so that the right people end up there. I am sure you wouldn't want someone to join our community and then hate it. And I know this has happened in the past because of the misrepresentation in the application packet, and that person left after complaining for a year. Please try to represent the school in a way that favors us( I cannot expect you to do otherwise) but also makeing it easy to take the information apart and see what the school is really like. When I was applying I actually could percieve that the school was probably ashamed of something because it was so difficult. And I really don't think that there is anything to be ashamed of!
