As a life long resident of Greenville and graduate of Greenville High School, I appreciate the community who supported our schools not only for me but for my four children who also graduated from Greenville. I endorse the levy for many reasons, but one is paying it forward as others in the past did for me so that the children yet to come have a progressive community school in which to flourish.

Above all else is providing a safe environment for our kids; one that is safe from intruders and one that is not falling down around them. Dumping excessive amounts of money in repairs of old buildings rather than to invest in safety, better technology, science labs, and creative environments is like putting Scotch tape on the hole in the dike!

For over 35 years I have worked in support of education and a better life for vulnerable kids and have seen them prosper in the right surrounding. I imagine we all support the ability for our children and youth to succeed in life and to keep that value right here in our hometown. With the united partnership of our teachers, administration and school board, our community should move forward now while there is still state funds set aside for Greenville and interest rates are low. Our vote for the Bond Issue and Maintenance Levy, shows our kids a progressive community that cares to invest in them.
