Dear Editor,

I am writing to advocate for community support of the upcoming school levy. It is vital that we vote “yes” to ensure our students have the resources and facilities they need to succeed.

Investing in our local schools is an investment in the future of our entire community. While some similar districts facing financial struggles are considering four-day school weeks to save money, I believe it is essential for our children to be in school five days a week.

I encourage all residents to join me in supporting this initiative on May 5, 2026. Thank you for providing a platform to discuss this important issue.
