Letter | Seniors: Yes on school bond

Published 3:34 pm Tuesday, January 27, 2015

In August, we will have lived in the Valley for 40 years. Both of our children graduated from Mount Si High School and we feel fortunate to live in District 410, where the administrators and faculty take their charge seriously.

It is normal for us, as senior citizens, to feel we have paid our dues to the local schools and time for us to lean back and protect our ‘fixed’ income. That is dangerous thinking, with serious consequences.

Education is so critical to success in life and strong healthy communities. We owe up-to-date school infrastructure and state-of-the-art technology to our grandchildren’s generation and to the community we call home.

Please vote Yes for Valley Schools on Feb. 10.
