For many years, we have had and still have, a beautiful school district that has helped teach countless children. Because of this, it seems like the district has everything under control and that it is able to keep going. While it is doing an amazing job, it still doesn't have enough money to do all of the things it needs to do.

It needs our help! Like any good school district, the Fountain Hills Unified School District is spending their money on school supplies, repairs, safety, etc. But the lack of funds restricts it from being able to improve all of these very important things. If we want top-quality learning opportunities, we are going to have to help.

That's where we come in. We can help them get the money they need. We can help the school district grow. All you have to do is vote yes for the bond. Vote yes for our beloved school district. Vote yes for student education.

All you have to do is vote yes.

Editor’s note: The Times Independent received the following message from Kim Guerrete, giving permission to print his daughter’s opinion: “My wife and I attended Dr. J’s first Town Hall meeting on the local school bond initiative with our children. Our youngest daughter, Natalie, was so inspired that she asked how students could contribute to the bond effort. We encouraged her to share her perspective in the Fountain Hills Times Independent. We helped only by providing guidance on minimizing the use of pronouns. The words and sentiments are authentically her own. Natalie is very passionate about her school and is excited to contribute in any way she can to support the bond effort.”
