This is an important choice. It had an impact on my family and I wouldn’t be where I am today if it was not for the levy. To conclude, I do support the levy, I will be voting yes on the levy, and I hope that others will follow in my path. We do indeed have some of the greatest schools in the region, and it would be a shame to see them suffer financially. I would like to thank you for your time. Craig J.

Reasons for doing so vary, but often parents are seeking something extra for their children. This frequently includes enrichment of their children’s education with elements of Christian teaching that are absent from public schools due to legal constraints. Sisters Christian Academy offers local families the option of an accredited private education with emphasis on Christian values, for children in pre-K through eighth grade. SCA serves families looking for smaller classes with closer student/teacher interaction, as well as families who might wish to home-school but who lack time or resources to meet home-schooling’s demanding requirements.

Excellent Refs! Call 541-598-4527. s From my own experience of volunteer teaching at SCA and having grandchildren who attended there, I can attest to the ben- efits of including Christian elements within the curriculum. I am referring not only to biblical teachings and belief in God, but to a heavy emphasis on instruction in moral behavior with a focus on personal integrity, kindness, honesty, self-control, respect for others, forgiveness, tolerance, wise decision-making and good citizenship. When emphasis on these qualities is included in children’s education along with the all-important fundamen- tals of math, science, history, English, etc. I believe not only do the students benefit, but the entire community does as well. Private schools of course cost money to run. SCA receives no government funding and relies solely on tuition and dona- tions. The school has deliberately kept tuition low to allow attendance by children from young families with limited finances. A drop in recent enrollments has put the school in a tenuous financial position, which threatens its future continua- tion. I would strongly encourage the Sisters community — its churches, businesses, community service organizations and pri- vate citizens — to carefully consider the unique added value SCA gives to our community, and to offer your financial sup- port for this outstanding non-profit school. We should not let this shining light in Sisters go out. Bruce Williams Reservations suggested 541-549-RIBS 190 E.
