We are a society and community diverse in background, ideas, race and culture.
We are a community that values its children and building a foundation where all children have a chance to meet their potential.
Soon you will be receiving your elections ballots in the mail. The Kent School District Proposition 1 will be on the ballot and needs us to invest in this capital improvement measure. Our schools need our support so our kids can continue to learn in smaller class sizes with updated equipment and improvements. This includes two brand new elementary schools.
As a senior, I am still looking for good investments. Supporting our kids is one that pays daily dividends. My neighborhood and community are better because our future community members are getting a quality education to reinvest their talents and knowledge back into society. The maintaining of my quality of life is secured, and my dividends are going to continue.
Communities and societies that are maintained and stay thriving do not happen by accident. Members who make it up have strong vision for today and into the future with a shared purpose of being. On Nov. 8, let’s all do our part in taking that investment beyond the 60 percent threshold to get this implemented.
