LETTER: Dear Community Athletics and Activities supporters,

We are writing to express our firm support for the upcoming levy, which is crucial not only for our children but for the well-being of our entire community. While supporting our students is the primary motivation, there are several compelling reasons why this levy is essential. 

We have full confidence in the current Administration and Board's ability to manage our tax dollars responsibly. Although challenges remain, the administration is making significant strides in addressing past issues. They have instituted new procedures designed to prevent overspending and ensure the efficient use of resources. It is critical that we give them the opportunity to demonstrate the positive changes they are implementing, rather than allowing past missteps to define our present and future. 

The levy is also vital for funding extracurricular programs that the state does not cover. These programs are integral to our students' safety, personal development and academic success. They provide valuable opportunities for leadership, community engagement and a well-rounded education. Without this funding, these essential programs will be at risk, depriving our students of opportunities that are fundamental to their growth. 

While the CAA was a temporary solution for extracurriculars in the 2024-25 and 2025-26 school years, it is not a sustainable long-term answer. If the levy fails, the continuation of these programs will be in jeopardy, and the consequences will be deeply felt across both the student body and the community at large. 

We strongly urge you to vote in favor of the levy, not just for the benefit of our children but for the future of our community as a whole. Supporting this levy is a vote for stability, progress and the opportunity to ensure our students have the resources they need to thrive. 

Sincerely, 

Community Athletics and Activities Board of Directors 

Ryan Carpenter, President 

James Getzinger, Vice President 

Jeremy Huberdeau, Vice President
