DOORBELL FOR OUR CHILDREN! “VOTE YES!” FUND OUR SCHOOLS!

Please join our door-to-door canvassing to win a big “YES” vote for the Sequim Schools Bond & Levy in the special Feb. 11 election. The canvassing is sponsored by Citizens for Sequim Schools.

WHEN: 10:30 a.m., Saturday, Feb. 1
WHERE: Carrie Blake Park (The picnic area across from the Guy Cole Center)

Ballots have been mailed out containing Proposition No. 1, a levy to provide just over $36 million over four years to support educational programs not fully funded by the State.

The second measure is Proposition No. 2 that will provide $145,950,000 over twenty years to replace the Helen Haller Elementary School in Sequim, renovate Sequim High School, and upgrade the Greywolf Elementary School in Carlsborg including building a cafeteria. The bond will provide funds to replace unsafe wiring, upgrade school transportation, and renovate athletic facilities and music programs, and pay for special education programs, school nurses and counsellors.

The funds will enable Sequim Consolidated Schools to hire additional staff and reduce class size.

We should be proud of our children and youth, our most precious asset. They are eager to learn, excel, grow into productive, creative contributors to our community. The faculty of our schools are hard working, excellent teachers of reading, math, and all the other subjects needed by our students to learn and excel. Support them. Vote “YES” on Props 1 & 2!

PLEASE JOIN US IN GOING DOOR-TO-DOOR URGING VOTERS TO FILL OUT THEIR BALLOTS AND MAIL THEM IN BEFORE FEB. 11!
