GCS Levy Guest Post - Rita McCans

Guest posts are welcome and encouraged. If you have something to say and are able to do it in a respectful, reasonable way, send your piece to darkejournal@gmail.com. The contents of guest posts do not necessarily reflect the opinions of DarkeJournal.com. 

I would like to thank all of the people for their questions, input and lively conversation last Wednesday morning at 6:30 a.m., as we gathered around the tables at McDonald's North and South. Many thanks to Greenville Schools Treasurer Carla Surber, who graciously joined us before her day started, to accurately answer lots of questions for everyone. We also had the opportunity to meet with Mr. Wright and discuss our differences and misconceptions, as he continues to keep a bright spotlight on this very important issue.  The Greenville School Administration has been very approachable and forthcoming with pertinent answers to the public's questions about building a new K-8 School with needed renovations to the High School. It's encouraging to hear so many positive comments from our community and their desire to make this goal a reality.

The Friends of Greenville Quality Schools are planning a "Thank You" party after the election (Tuesday, August 6), with the date soon to be announced, to show our appreciation to the community and to all of the many, many people, who have volunteered and been a huge part of this school campaign. Your help placing signs in yards, talking to friends/neighbors, writing letters/articles, making your own family signs, coming to meetings/fundraisers has all been so appreciated. I love the passion and concern that everyone has for our community and the more I learn from you, our citizens, the more I understand and sincerely appreciate you.

Last but not least, a big thank you to all of the Greenville School District citizens, who will be going to your polling places on Tuesday, August 6 to vote "FOR" a new K-8 building with renovations to the Greenville High School..... we need your help to keep our community strong. Your vote FOR the upcoming school bond levy is an investment in your community. It is an opportunity for Greenville to join the ranks of every other community in Darke County and show our children that their education and safety matters to all of us. It is an opportunity for a new beginning and one that will enhance the quality of life for our whole community and at the same time, be attractive to new business.

Greenville is my hometown, and I am a product of Greenville Quality Schools, and I will never forget where I came from......this is why I am helping our community.

Thanks,

Rita McCans
