PUYALLUP: Support great schools by voting 'yes'

The School Construction and Facility Improvements Bond in Puyallup is in direct response to current overcrowding in the Puyallup School District. Hearing the stories that my wife shares about overcrowding at the school where she teaches and the overcrowding of the district has me highly anticipating the result of the proposed bond.

Learning that teachers and students are holding classes in custodial closets and principals’ offices has made me understand that now is the time to come together as a community and build bigger schools.

We must vote yes for our community and schools. Without great schools, we are not a great community. It is my hope that our community stands together for our future and votes “yes” for Puyallup schools.
