It has been an honor to have worked with the Fountain Hills Mentor Program for the past 14 years. Annually, more than 80 volunteers mentor students on a weekly basis. Frequently, our mentors comment on the dedicated staff and how hard they work.

Your “yes” vote on the Fountain Hills Unified School District budget override will provide the additional funding needed to support all staff by maintaining outstanding, award-winning programs and all-day kindergarten, hiring additional staff for reading literacy efforts, increasing teacher salaries and providing professional development.

Please join me in voting yes to continue this essential funding source for the children of Fountain Hills.
