Letter to the editor: Vote yes on the school bond
My name is Jackson, and I am going into the eighth grade at Helena Middle School this year.
Next year I will be going to Helena High School, and that is an interesting thought.
After hearing about the fact that students of Helena High must wear their coats inside classrooms, and see pests like mice wandering the building, I look forward to the time when I am a freshman and really don’t feel good about going there.
Almost every day, my parents tell me to work hard at school. High school is a main step from childhood to adulthood, and you need to work hard to achieve a diploma and get good grades, and when your high school building is on the verge of collapsing, it makes it hard to sit down and put in maximum effort.
Sometimes, people need to put the common good of the community first, to help pave the way for future leaders.
Please consider voting yes on the school bond and helping the next generation have schools that aren’t falling down.
Jackson Reed,
Helena
