Letter to the Editor Please vote 'yes' on schools

Stella Romischer, an 8-year-old from Highland Terrace Elementary, advocates for a supplemental school levy in Shoreline. She emphasizes the critical role of funding in maintaining teaching positions and special programs for younger students. Having learned to read and write with the help of dedicated teachers, she expresses her gratitude and concern for future learners. Romischer notes the abundance of books in the school library and the fun activities in gym class, highlighting the positive experiences fostered by staff like Ms. Burke and Mr.

Davies. She appreciates the leadership of Principal Ms. Drew, who actively engages with students and sets a strong example. Without the levy, Romischer argues, vital educational resources may be lost. Her message resonates with fellow students in Shoreline and Lake Forest Park, urging voters to act decisively.

This plea underscores the broader implications of local educational funding on community welfare and student success.
