Supports Colfax school levy

The Colfax School District has proposed a renewal of the current levy in the Feb. 8 special election. That levy passed in 2020 by a 2-to-1 margin, and we Thrifty Grandmothers urge voters to continue their strong support of our local schools by approving its renewal.

Although the state allows levy rates of up to $2.50 per $1,000 of assessed property values, the renewed Colfax levy proposes a rate of only $1.99 in 2023 and $2.00 in 2024.

This levy will help fund essential programs such as nursing, counseling, the arts, and extracurricular activities. During this stressful pandemic, these programs are especially vital to our children’s health.

The Thrifty Grandmothers’ Shop has a long history of financially supporting our local youth by helping to fund scholarships and other activities. Please join our club in helping our young people by approving Proposition No. 1 on Feb. 8.
