Re-Elect Valerie Slaughter - Hastings Area School Board

Thank you to the Hastings Area Community!

Remember to get out and vote today! I’m voting Yes to our schools to renew the sinking fund. This fund has allowed us to repair and maintain so many of the buildings and systems in our district! It is a renewal and not an increase! Please get out and vote!

Two candidates are running for two seats on the Hastings Area Schools Board of Education in the upcoming election. Learn a bit about them through this link - https://www.hassk12.org/apps/news/article/1987267

Early voting is open now and mail in ballots are already being returned, or get out and vote on Election Day, November 5th! Myself and Brandy Nofz will be on the ballot for Hastings Area School Board and we appreciate your vote! The renewal of the Sinking Fund for Hastings will be on the ballot as well. This is a renewal, no increase!

Vote on November 5th to support the renewal of the sinking fund!

Love the new 'H' up at the High School!! Thank you Kensington Concepts!

I’m not sure where to start except WOW! This H with the Saxons has been in the works since 2019. It was the third phase of signage that was proposed and planned for last year, then 2020 hit, and obviously COVID-19 putting some challenges in the way for the last 7 months.

It might be hard for you to really grasp how large that H is...it’s 12’ tall😳 Jon cut the entire thing by hand.
He then welded the edges, brackets and braces on the back. It’s was made as two very large halves. His workmanship on this is awesome.
The Saxons was cut in two large pieces on our plasma cutter and then welded together. The main sign has been powdercoated and Jon finished the yellow edge by hand. He has an incredible attention to detail.

The projects for the Hastings Middle & High Schools have been a labor of love for Jon. He’s learned a lot, has dealt with challenges but loves that he’s doing something to improve the school we graduated from and that our children attend.

So in our last two months when we said we couldn’t take orders, he never stopped working. He had to get this done. He has worked many evenings and weekends on these projects and is happy to wrap them up 😉

Big thank you’s go to my stepdad Chris for helping Jon today & Larry Bennett for assisting with his crane so that they could safely get it up there.

*I’ll share more in our stories of the construction of it tonight

While I am not up for election this year, there are three open spots on the ballot. Know your candidates! These three get my vote: Luke Haywood, who is our current Board President and Mike Nickels, who is the current Board Treasurer, both have served our board and district in the past. They have worked to strengthen our financials and to maintain/update our buildings and schools. Both of them were key in passing the past bond. Brad Tolles, a local business owner, who has had several kids go through our district, has always volunteered his time helping our district.
