Teachers countywide have a dream.
Dick Werry, principal at Fairview Elementary, dreams of the day he won’t have to put his students on a bus that takes them to Fairview Middle School to have gym class.
Mary Weikle, physical education teacher at East Dale Elementary, dreams of the day when she won’t have to hold class in the school’s hallways.
Judd Ashcraft, principal at North Marion High, dreams of a gymnasium that will seat 3,500 people, so every parent and grandparent can see their child graduate from high school instead of being turned away because the gym is too small to hold them.
Vic Seccuro, physical education teacher at Blackshere Elementary, dreams of the day he doesn’t have to yell at his students just so they can hear his instructions because students are eating lunch a few feet away.
Kathe Jacquez, chair of the science department at Fairmont Senior High, dreams of a day when she won’t have to worry about chemicals freezing in her lab because there will be adequate heat in the room.
Christine Miller, principal at East Fairmont Junior High, dreams of a day her school will have one entrance and exit, natural light, and adequate technology to teach the students what they’ll need to know in an undefined job market.
All these problems — and many others — can be solved if the school bond is passed Tuesday.
