Agrees with statement of Principal Jones. Offers help CWC parent who was opposed to tax offers labor to help renovate Colonel Casey School About: Patty Jones A thank you and a challenge To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Previously on this very forum my family and I publicly declared our opposition to the nickel tax proposal for the Col. William Casey Elementary School. We were against the building of a new facility, but we agreed there were things needing to be fixed at the existing school. Having reviewed the results of the vote from yesterday I agree wholeheartedly with Principal Jones' statement. It is time to move on from the vote, and address the issues the facility has. I appreciate the five point list she provided. Where we come from, in financially challenged districts such as the ones we grew up in; when something was needed the community provided without going the route of a tax increase. I can vividly remember my school not having enough space for the students. The community came together and solved the problem by donating money, material and labor. An entire addition was built in less than a year, with room for both the existing students and some additional space for expansion. People came from all over the community- construction workers, builders, tradesmen. My father was a welder- he donated his work on the plumbing system. My husband and I are paramedics, not construction workers. (However my husband is a fourteen year veteran of the US Navy, with an official designation of MR- machine repair and DC- damage control). We have a daughter at William Casey, as do our neighbors. We do not have money or material, but we will willing donate our time, our labor, to help. Will anyone else join us in this challenge? Will someone donate their expertise, materials, cash or labor? Sincerely, s/Mrs. Kimberly Cohoon and family This story was posted on 2009-12-16 11:49:56
