— from Hilary Canty —

I hope you will join me to vote Yes for both the bond and levy for the school district. Investing in our schools is a solid investment in the future of the island community. The current leadership at the school district is strong and thoughtful.

The school board has done a great job of identifying and prioritizing maintenance and improvements and the superintendent has proven to know how to get the work done. Our vote is the support they need to make their plans reality and to keep our schools a great place to learn and grow.

I am looking forward to cheering on future Vikings as they run laps, kick a soccer ball, toss a football, and hit a homer on the renewed fields. GO BLUE!
