YOUR OPINION

My name is Gracee Cooper and I am a proud Grizzly alumni. I attended K-12 through Newport School District and I have just started my second year working at Stratton Elementary. I have seen from a student and staff perspective of how helpful the Education Programs and Operations levy can be to a school district. Levy dollars support critical funding needed within the school system.

Newport School District has so many great educational and extracurricular programs that will benefit from this upcoming levy. Many of these programs shape students futures and teach them how to be team players. The bond proposes much needed renovations and upgrades to our high school. These upgrades are needed to keep our campus safe and to ensure that our students are able to be the best they can be within a classroom.
