Yes for Kids

Fri., Jan. 26, 2018

Seventeen years ago, Spokane was a blip on our youthful lives, a temporary location to live while finishing graduate school at Gonzaga.

A few cities and three children later, Spokane is no longer a temporary location but a city we proudly call home. A large part of why we (Seattle/Portland transplants) have chosen this city as our home is because of the educational opportunities provided by Spokane’s public school system. Our city does a tremendous job at offering options and support for all types of learners, and through public funding, is able to expose our kids to life beyond words and numbers. Music, art, sport, technology and even good old fashioned books are available to all our youth because of a community that cares.

Please join us in support of our city’s children and vote “YES for KIDS.”
