Letter: Support Camas school bond

The story of why we move to Camas may be different, but the reason we stay is the same. We are a small town with a big community. Whether we have lived here for a year, a decade or a generation, we stand together. We have big dreams, long-standing traditions, and we celebrate our successes together. Papermaker pride is known throughout Washington state.

Camas schools continue to be the bedrock of our growing community. We have an opportunity to set a future course for a level of performance we’ve come to expect. When you vote “yes” on Feb. 9 for Camas’ bond, you are saying:

“Yes” to state-of-the-art, inspiring buildings that will continue to motivate students.

“Yes” to the educational professionals that work here; that their environment will be an uplifting and safe place to work.

“Yes” to the growing number of students in Camas schools to be challenged with learning critical-thinking skills in an exciting environment.

We stay in Camas because it’s a great place to live, work, learn and play. The Camas School District has provided an excellent education for many and the Feb. 9 bond ballot asks us to continue that level of opportunity for future Camas students.

Join me in saying “yes” for maintaining the level of integrity, security and advancement in our district that we all take pride in.
