Why I’m voting YES (twice) for ISD 197 on May 6!

 I am a proud member of Henry Sibley High School Graduating Class of 2014.  Before I go off to college, I will have the opportunity to cast my first vote and it will be to support the schools in my community.   I am grateful for the education I have received, and I want that to continue to the next generation of kids.  In today’s competitive world, technology isn’t optional – it is necessary.  In addition, I believe that all kids should CONTINUE to have existing access to early learning opportunities.  Our district is growing and that is great – more kids will have the same kinds of experiences that I have had.   I am very excited to be starting my next education adventure.  This fall, I will be pursuing my dream career in the School of Nursing at the University of Minnesota.  I was also so fortunate to receive a very generous scholarship.  I know that this would not have been possible without the support of the fantastic teachers and staff of District 197.  Please join me in supporting our schools!
