Show school pride

Sat., Feb. 7, 2015

As a citizen and parent of two children currently in the West Valley School District, I know voting yes is rudimentary to the development of our children and community. I have experienced schools across the nation and cannot express the importance of our levy and the profound affect the funding will bring.

With a “yes,” our teachers and children will reap benefits that will bolster our community. Show your pride and vote yes to improving and keeping a bright future here in West Valley.
