Voting for Marysville school levy helps provide complete education

I am a parent of two wonderful little girls in the Marysville School District, a para-educator at our Early Learning Center, a graduate of Marysville schools, and a 36-year resident in this community. I support the Marysville School District 2023 Levy, and you should, too.

My children are enriched by their teachers and educational role models who give them every opportunity to grow and learn. Parents, teachers, bus drivers, food service workers, nurses, secretaries, specialist, and neighbors like you; we are a team working together to raise our community’s children and give them every opportunity to succeed.

Our children merit up-to-date curriculum, the chance to play on a school athletic team, or join extracurriculars that fuel their spirit and keep them motivated. They need the technology tools and supplies to be innovators and entrepreneurs and the safety and transportation access that lets them focus on their learning and personal growth.

No is not an answer this February. As a community, we need to do our part. Vote yes.
