WBCSD levy about future, dreams

| April 19, 2023 1:00 AM

Vote yes.

When I was a freshman, if you had told me that I had to leave Priest River because they didn’t offer any sports or any electives, I would have been crushed.

This levy is not just asking people for money, it’s asking to support kids' dreams. My teammates, your kids, their friends and my brother and sister are all relying on your vote. My future plans and all my accomplishments would have never been possible without this levy.

I am inspired every day by what I see happening in this school, knowing that I am leaving it better than it was when I started here. This levy is vital for hundreds of kids wanting to further their education and take the next step toward college, trade school or a different career.

I am going to graduate and go to the University of Idaho to play football in less than two months. This dream of mine would have never been possible without the community’s support or the funding received from this levy. The levy helps pay for sports, coaches and transportation.

If you don’t wanna vote for yourself or your kids, do it for the kids with a dream, the kids like me. The kids who will work harder than anything to achieve their dreams. Don’t take away their dreams.

This levy is not just about money, it is about dreams.
