Alumni supporting school bond

As an alumnus of RHS, I am very proud of the education I received from the Ritzville School District. It included academics, the performing arts and sports. We had the Gilson gym, the elementary gym and the high school auditorium and gym.

It worked. Now there is only the Gilson gym and the elementary gym. I can understand why space is minimal. The new facility would be multifaceted just as the former and existing structures were and are. The structures have always been used for school and community activities which have not always rotated around sports. The use would not change. It might encourage varied usage.

I was an educator for almost 40 years and a quality and diverse education is necessary for joy and success in life. This generation and generations to come should be afforded the opportunity to excel by providing them with a much needed facility.

VOTE YES!
