Letter to the editor: Thrive candidates move AZ forward

Today's Arizona Daily Star includes a Letter to the Editor from Dee-Dee Samet Chandler, attorney and Foothills resident. She urges District 16 residents to vote and to support Amy Bhola, Amy Krauss, and Gina Mehmert for CFSD Governing Board. She "stress(es) the importance of these candidates interested in moving Arizona forward and not backward." The full letter is included below.

Importance of your school board vote

Amy Bhola, Amy Krauss and Gina Mehmert, running for Catalina Foothills School Board, believe in public education and are dedicated to keeping Catalina Foothills School District at the highest level. It is crucial to vote and support the public school system even if you have no young children. Curriculum and treatment of students and outreach by schools affects every walk of life and every person. These children are not only our future, but they are our present. The preparation at school determines whether we will be prisoners in our homes, afraid to go by car or bus to the store, repair our homes, have art, theater and books as a part of our lives and other activities now and in the future. I hope people in every area will vote, tell their neighbors and friends to vote and stress the importance of these candidates interested in moving Arizona forward and not backward.
