Thanks to voters for new middle school

Thanks to all the voters!

I’m an eighth-grade student at Chinook Middle School in Kennewick, and the new building is amazing. Every student hall has lockers on one side rather than both sides, making the flow of foot traffic much faster. The best part, in my opinion, is the big open band room, as well as the gym.

Thanks to all of those who voted yes to a new school.
