Letter To Editor – Proud to live in Deer Park?

Typewriter with paper reading "Letters to the Editor"

Are you proud to live in Deer Park? Me too! The children in the Deer Park School District need our help. They are in overcrowded buildings.

The School District’s reputation determines many things: it attracts prosperity in the form of families, businesses and jobs, which in turn lowers the cost of local schools for everyone.

Our property values are only as good as our schools. Many community events take place at the schools from the Fourth of July fireworks to Winterfest.

When we pass the Levy and Bond, we will receive matching funds from Washington State, which will help finance needed new construction.

Let’s all remember to vote ‘yes’ in February and continue to support Deer Park.

With a heavy heart we announce the death of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin and dear friend Susan G. Robideaux Emry. Susan was born April 18th, 1953, in Spokane, WA, to William and Reubie Robideaux. She went to join the Lord peacefully, in her sleep on August 5th, 2024, at her cherished home on Reflection Lake in Elk, WA. Susan grew up and rivaled her feisty, fun-loving, 5 brothers in Spokane, WA, where they performed musical skits for family friends. She attended Marycliff and Mead High Schools. She met her future husband, Brian (Bud) Emry, at a party and was instantly charmed when he tuned his harmonica in orange soda. Bud, in turn, was captivated by Susan’s party trick – reciting Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious backwards.
