Save Our Schools — Telluride

Invaluable: Yes on 5A, Yes to Our Children, Yes to Support Telluride School District

Dear friends,

The children and young adults (our students) who attend our public schools are our community's/society's greatest resource. The nurturing and education they receive from TSD teachers, administrators and all supporting staff builds an INVALUABLE foundation of intellectual, emotional and social adeptness beneath our students; a foundation that allows our students to build bridges towards a bright adult future where they will continue to learn, to grow, to thrive, and to contribute to the betterment of our community/society.

As a TSD staff member I have had the privilege to teach preschool through 12th, teach SPED, drive, and be your friendly crossing guard. At all positions worked I bear witness to the INVALUABLE educational experiences TSD provides our students.

INVALUABLE:

  • Our students feel safe.
  • Our students feel free to express themselves.
  • Our students feel self-worth.
  • Our students are respectful and supportive of each other.
  • Our students receive a high level of classroom curriculum and individualized education.
  • Our students are educated in a multicultural environment.
  • Our students receive a high level of extracurricular options: sports, theater, music, field trips, bonding adventures.
  • Our students are encouraged to explore diverse academic and career paths.

Our students are the heart and soul of Telluride School District, which is our community's greatest asset, an institution where our community's diverse cultural and socioeconomic groups join together to create a brilliant future.

And yes, TSD cannot provide this exemplary education opportunity without you and your support. Please vote yes on 5A. We Thank you.
