Vote Yes - for Future and Past

Dear Editor,

I am writing this letter to encourage vot­ers in the Dayton School District to support the Campus Wide Improvement Plan. The citizens of Columbia County have a strong sense of community and a great appre­ciation for preserving our historic charac­ter. This was evident back in 1910 when Dr. Marcel Pietrzcyki left provisions in his will to provide land to the Dayton School Dis­trict and to provide funding toward initial construction of the high school.

The community has continually exhib­ited their community pride with renova­tions to maintain and preserve structures in Dayton. This is evident throughout our downtown buildings including the Liberty Theatre, the Dayton Historic Depot, and

Columbia County Courthouse to name a few. Visionaries in our community have worked very hard on all of these projects. I encourage the voters in the Dayton School District to expand that vision to include the renovation/preservation project on the April ballot.

The Campus Wide Renovation helps to preserve the historic building while address­ing the current needs for developing the minds of the future. Please vote "Yes" to preserve the past and to ensure the success of the future.

Paula Moisio
