Our community is very important to us, as a business and to our families. It is what keeps families here or attracts families to return or relocate here, and our schools are the very foundation of that community. In order to have a thriving, attractive, and strong community, we need to invest in our schools. Our schools help develop our future leaders and workforce. When we invest in our schools, we are investing in our community and we will see big returns as a result.

When we relocated our business here over 22 years ago, we fell in love with this wonderful community and all it has to offer! We convinced our kids to move here to raise their families and now hope our grandkids will do the same.

In recent years, the majority of our applicants are people of or approaching retirement age. Investing in our local schools will attract and keep young families, benefiting our entire local economy. We must have a school system that makes young families want to be here. Our community cannot survive as a retirement community.

Wherever the fault is with our current school funding, it is not at the fault of the kids of our community. They deserve the same programs and education as our previous generations.

When the levy passes, let’s start working on securing adequate and permanent funding for our local schools. Please, vote in favor of Mt. View School District’s levy on May 21st.
