For over 20 years I’ve witnessed a constantly improving and growing school district here in Camas.
Our three kids attended the schools here and are now on to their young adult lives. I feel like I’ve been a part of a community that over those 20 years has come together to provide educational opportunities for a wide variety of learners and extracurricular opportunities for a anyone who wants to, well, do a little bit extra after school.
This community — the city, the citizens and the teachers and administrators — have bonded into a high performing unit that benefits all of us. Strong schools beget a strong community and vice versa. A vibrant downtown Camas spins off from confident citizens. And confident Camas citizens feel really good about our future.
And yes, even those of us whose children have moved on to the rest of their lives benefit from this really great community. And it’s for that reason that I strongly encourage all of us Camas voters, young and old alike, to vote “yes” for the two replacement levies on the February ballot. A “yes” vote will assure the continuation of everything we’ve built in this community – of and for all of us.
