Tomorrow is Election Day for our Pine River Bond Proposal to replace our wastewater / septic system & more. Please remember to vote! Go Bucks!
Remember to Vote for the Pine River Area Schools Bond proposal to replace our MS/HS wastewater / septic system and more. It's a zero mill increase bond keeping the same tax rate. Early voting continues through Sunday, August 4th! Election day is August 6th. Go Bucks!
Thank you to everyone that helped make today's blood drive a success! We collected 25 units of whole blood and had four double red donations. Together, that has the potential to save over 80 lives! Thank you to the NHS volunteers, donors, and the Versiti team for making this successful. And a big thanks to the Leroy Rose Lake FD for opening your doors to us. So proud of our community efforts!
Remember to vote now through August 6th on the Pine River Area Schools bond proposal to replace the wastewater / septic system at the middle / high school complex. Passage of this bond will keep your tax rate the same as it is now!
Early Voting is new this year and available at one or more locations in each county. Check out https://www.pineriver.org/o/pras/page/bond for more information on early voting and this zero mill increase bond proposal focusing on health, safety, security and instructional technology. Thank you and Go Bucks!
