La Conner Weekly News - Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper

On behalf of our students, staff and school board, we thank you, our community, for your incredible and overwhelming support on our 2019 educational programs and operations levy. It is passing with an amazing 70 percent YES vote, and we are so grateful.

To those who served on our levy committee, most notably Debra Lekanoff and Kelly Harper, to all who attended the “get out the vote” event hosted by Swinomish, to Alicia Neely and the Swinomish tax committee, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

To all who participated in our “Principal for a Day” event and the dozens who attended one or more of our presentations, thank you.

To all who waved a banner, posted a sign, and shared a “remember to vote” message on social media, thank you.

We promise to continue to share the specific stories of our students, who are benefitting from the generosity of our local community, and to be excellent stewards of the public money entrusted to us. More than that, we will continue to nurture, adore and help all La Conner children learn.

I am extremely proud, humbled, and grateful to serve as your La Conner Superintendent.

With deepest gratitude,

Dr. Whitney Meissner
