Superintendent is grateful for cooperation

To The Eagle:

I have said it before, and I am sure I will say it again, but I would just like to repeat, “What a great community in which we live!” On behalf of all of us at Wahkiakum School District, I would like to express our gratitude to the Wahkiakum County Commissioners (Mike Backman, Dan Cothren and Blair Brady) and the Wahkiakum County Treasurer (Tammy Peterson) for their willingness to serve and work cooperatively with the school district.

By allowing a short-term loan in the amount of $500,000 (the collective total of dollars that will be generated over four years due to the successful passage by our voters of $125,000 per year for security and technology improvements), they have helped expedite the fruition of our project; resulting in creating a safer and more technologically advanced learning environment in a very timely manner, which would not have been possible otherwise.

The School Board, staff and students “tip our hats” to Mike, Dan, Blair and Tammy – thanks for being you!

Appreciatively,

Bob Garrett

Superintendent

Wahkiakum School District
