Ron Hurd, Sartell
I was born and raised in Sartell and attended grade school in the building that is now used for the district offices. It’s hard to believe the growth of our community and the increasing school enrollment. My wife Sandy and I remember so well the struggles and success of getting our own school district in the late 1960s. We certainly couldn’t envision then the growth and need for a new senior high school in 1993 and the additional grade school in 2004.
Our sons graduated from Sartell High School, as did our grandchildren. As senior citizens, we are in support of the upcoming school bond referendum and urge you to vote yes.
We know our real estate taxes will increase but consider that a small price to pay and a good investment to continue the quality of education Sartell-St. Stephen School District 748 has achieved and is known for.
