“You have prioritized education time and time again and we want you to know we are so grateful,” she wrote, adding, “This bond will protect our District for years to come.”

Helber wrote, “Now that the excitement of the campaign is over, we will start the process of prioritizing the work to be done. We will use our facilities and program assessments to guide us in this process.  More immediate needs will be prioritized in this first phase.  You will see some work this summer, with bigger projects needing more time to plan and execute. 

“With your vote, you have made it possible for us to address the needs of the District and we thank you so much for your support,” Helber said.
