Teacher implores Battle Ground citizens to support bond

Posted

It is with optimism that I pen this letter.

I am optimistic that citizens will vote.

I am optimistic that citizens will learn the facts about the issues for which they vote.

I am optimistic that there is a majority of citizens in this community who value the public education that they themselves, their children, and their grandchildren all had the opportunity of experiencing, or will experience.

I am optimistic that citizens desire safe schools for everyone, without leaking roofs, crumbling buildings or overcrowding.



I am optimistic that new, quality schools will be constructed to accommodate the new students who will reside in all the new housing being built in Battle Ground.

I am optimistic that the upcoming bond will be approved by a majority who truly care about the future of public schools in their community.

I am optimistic, as the city of Battle Ground grows, that more citizens will understand and experience the goodness of their public schools. 

Battle Ground will continue to grow and change, there is no denying. Our school district will do the same. Will you be an optimist or pessimist? You decide.
