Continue school support for this generation of kids

The reason I accepted the position of chair for the Levy Committee is because I feel that supporting strong schools means …

Our kids benefit directly because:

• The money stays in the community.

• This levy is replacing the existing one, and there isn’t a hike in our rate — it is actually lower.

• The state will give our school district over $535,000 when we pass this levy.

Our school was completely paid for with state monies. This is our opportunity to maintain and keep it operational so our kids can have a safe, healthy and encouraging place to study, learn and become productive citizens in the future.

My husband, Jim, and I had our kids grow up in this area and were educated in the Grand Coulee Dam School District. I know most of yours have too.

Let’s continue the legacy and support this generation of kids and vote “YES” on the up-coming levy by February 10th.
