Dear Editor,
I attended the informative community meeting about the upcoming Mill Levy vote for Shepherd Schools on March 20th. Jeff Kanning from Collaborative Design Architects described the budget and project to group of about 50 community members and fielded questions. My family ranches in the school district and my children, Miriam (three) and Angus (one) will be the third generation to be raised and educated here. My father and his siblings education started in a country school funded and organized by their ranching community. We are proud to continue to contribute through our property taxes to support Shepherd schools and know that our return on investment’s better than it could have ever been at Marsh country school. We support this mill levy to secure the future of our community’s children as we navigate a complicated economic future.
