Make our future your priority

Published 5:18 pm Friday, January 31, 2014

Dear Editor,

I would like to take this opportunity to challenge the citizens of Okanogan County. Public education is a great privilege our children have as citizens of this nation. It does not come without cost or sacrifice.

Our students are our future. They are our future business men and women, community leaders, doctors, lawyers, first responders, etc… We bear the immense responsibility of making sure they get a solid educational foundation to pursue their career of choice.

I would like to challenge you make our future your priority. Support the maintenance and operations levies within your communities.

Respectfully,

Todd C. Hill

Oroville School District 410

Board of Directors
