At our last General Membership Meeting, our members voted to support and endorse three upcoming levies, which will be on the ballot for the February 8, 2022 election.
The first two levies provide continued funding for 1) school computers, classroom technology and building updates and 2) help fill the gaps between what our state funds and what we actually need to pay for school nurses, special ed, early learning, substitutes, athletics programs, bus drivers and much more. The third levy, which is new, will fund construction to add classroom space and reduce overcrowding in our fast-growing district. You can learn more about these levies HERE.
If you would like to get involved in the campaign or if you would like a yard sign to advertise your support, please visit Vote Yes for LWSD Schools – Support all three levies in 2022 (vote4lwsdkids.org).
Our PTSA will host sign waving events just off school grounds on Monday, January 24 and February 7 at 2:30 pm, before pick up. Contact manda@evergreenptsa.org if you would like to get involved. If you can’t join us, honk to show your support, and don't forget to Vote Yes for our Kids!
Please join us on Zoom Wednesday, Feb 23 at 7pm for our next General Membership Meeting. A meeting link will be posted soon.
