They deserve your vote

Sat., Oct. 9, 2021

As a mother of two children living in Spokane Valley and who attended Central Valley District my entire childhood, I am in full support of and highly recommend write-in candidate Bret Howell for Position 2 and Pam Orebaugh for Position 5 of the Central Valley School District Board.

They both care deeply about the education of our children. We need fresh eyes and fresh views from people who have children currently in the district. Pam is a dedicated nurse and mother with a huge heart. Bret is a full-time single dad who has adopted two kids. Pam and Bret have been open books engaging with all members of the community while attending every school board meeting.

These two have my vote and deserve yours.
