Kennewick levy: Yes
Kennewick levy: Yes
Every two years Kennewick residents have an opportunity to show their support of our kids by voting yes for our school levy. The approval of this levy will not only help support our kid's participation in athletics, art, physical education, music and libraries, but also will be critical to other areas not subsidized by our state dollars.
The importance of these extra-curricular activities in the lives of our kids cannot be overstated.
I have always been proud to live and work in Kennewick where our school levies have been soundly supported by our residents. Please remember to mail your ballot with your yes vote before the Feb. 14 deadline. Let's win the big game for kids!
Kennewick schools: Brooks
Kennewick schools: Brooks
A vote for Brian Brooks is a vote to do what's right for Kennewick kids. Understanding the differences between school board candidates made my choice of Brooks a clear and obvious one. Brooks is committed to Kennewick's goal to have students reading on grade level, thereby ensuring they receive a meaningful education and the skills necessary for future success.
His opponent stated that teachers spend too much time on reading and changes are needed. Why would we change our nationally respected reading program, with proven results in assuring that students learn to read at grade level? Kennewick's current academic programs are succeeding.
Thanks to the significant expertise and efforts of district staff, our students are enjoying impressive gains. Kids can't vote, so they depend on us, as wise and caring citizens, to do what's right on their behalf. Stay the course for success and do what's right for Kennewick kids.

I think the community will definitely support the carousel. The fast-growing south Kennewick is the perfect place, given the recent development of that area.
The sports complex already attracts hundreds of kids.
As an entry into Tri-Cities, it will create an eye-opening view and a destination to visitors!
