For many years our schools have provided a quality and ever-strengthening education for young people in the Snoqualmie Valley. Academic achievement and graduation rates have steadily improved over time. Our schools are safe and secure places where the students are able to grow, learn and prepare themselves for the future.

While there will always be room for improvement, our schools are moving in a positive direction. The students are benefiting from a variety of quality programs, excellent teachers and well-maintained facilities. The levy propositions for maintenance and operations, technology and school buses will provide the resources necessary to sustain the good things happening in our schools and continue in their efforts to reach higher levels of excellence.

Vote "Yes" on Feb. 7 to keep our schools and students headed in the right direction!
