Letter: Teamwork makes the dream work

Published 12:46 pm Monday, February 19, 2024

As chair of the Ocean Beach School District Levy Committee, I want to thank everyone who worked so diligently to get our two school levies passed last week. To all you dedicated committee members who spoke to community groups, distributed lawn signs, joined sign waving rallies, wrote letters and completed a myriad of other tiny and large details — a huge thank you for your time and energy!

And to our financial donors, we so appreciate your generosity which helped us get the word out concerning the importance of these levies to ensure continued quality of education in our district.

And speaking of getting the word out, a heartfelt high five to Matt Winters and the staff of the Chinook Observer for giving us such great media coverage.

And of course, a big thank you to Ocean Beach School Board members for lending a hand wherever needed. Last, but certainly not least, I’d like to express the committee’s gratitude to the staff and teachers, who, on their own time, stepped up to lend a helping hand.

Most of all, on behalf of every student in our district, thank you to the voters who made it all possible. Teamwork makes the dream work!
