Your Voice Matters—Make it Count on June 10th!

I’m reaching out with an important reminder and a personal ask: Please make time to vote in the upcoming VCPS referendum on Tuesday, June 10th.

This isn’t just a school decision—it’s a community decision that will impact the future of Valley City for many decades to come. Every vote truly matters!

It’s easy to think, “It’ll pass without me,” or “This won’t affect me directly.” Whether you’re for or against this proposal, what matters most is that your voice is part of the outcome at the end of the day on June 10th.

Be informed. Be involved. Be at the polls to vote on June 10th.
