Show your Helena pride, vote for schools

Don’t do it.

Please don’t mindlessly vote to reject these Helena Public School bonds again.

Voting against school bonds becomes a habit — a bad habit.

Communities that don’t invest in their children fail to thrive.

The two proposed school bond issues seek to make long overdue improvements to Helena High, Capital High, and PAL (Project for Alternative Learning) and rebuild Kessler Elementary.

We have not passed a high school bond issue for 28 years. We are in danger of quickly falling behind other communities that have made more timely investments in their local schools.

We must act now to give our students safe, secure, modern buildings and improved learning environments. I have studied the needs and carefully reviewed the school bond information. These are necessary and sound proposals to address long neglected school infrastructure needs. I will vote YES! on Sept. 9. I hope you will, too.

Please show your Helena pride and help us attract and retain families and businesses to our great town.

Thank you.
