FHS Students Doing Their Part

The FHS ASB President Chelsie Clark and Secretary Jason Finkbonner have decided to organize a student walk-out, to protest the cuts made to educational staff and faculty in the district.

This should draw media attention and spread awareness in the community about the issue.

I have posted a link to their YouTube Video which explains their intent, and hope you all have a chance to see the video and show your support for our young leaders. The link is titled FHS Students Doing Their Part and is in the upper right corner of the screen.

Change Ferndale admires your dedication to education in the FSD and hopes that both Chelsie and Jason succeed in spreading awareness about the issue.

We look forward to working with you to meet the needs of the district.

The Voters Are Speaking And We Hear You

For all who wish to see the election results for the May 20 bond a link is provided in the top right corner of this web page under the title Whatcom County Election Information.

As of May 20, 2008 8:24 PM the Whatcom County Auditor shows: 50.2% approved bond and 49.8% rejected the bond. The bond needs 60% to pass.

It looks unlikely that the bond will pass. We anticipate this trend to continue and will post new information about what our next steps will be shortly.

We thank all who visited the website and expressed their opinion and extend that invitation further. We also greatly thank those working on the ground to educate the public and ultimately defeat the bond. We look forward to working with you all in the coming months.

This is not the end but rather a good start in the beginning. The road to change is both difficult and long but like all things difficult and long the rewards will be plentiful and what we will earn from our efforts will be, quite literally, what we deserve. Good fortune is only as useful as we make it, with your help we have started the road of change and only with you can we get to what change we desire, and we will get there my friends.

Thank you all, keep up the good work
