Citizens for Northshore Schools

Across the district, our schools and students are saying Thank You to our voters! Today's vote count again showed the strong community support that our schools can feel. 💙💛

02/11/2026

🎉 The first ballot count is in, and *all 3 funding measures* are passing!! There will be more ballots to count over the next few days, but we cannot be more grateful for everyone’s investment in our students.

This is truly an investment in the future of our community and continues Northshore’s tradition of excellence for years to come.

Thank you!! 💙💛

Let's remember to vote today - we have until 8pm to drop off our ballots!!

Election Day is TOMORROW!

If you’ve already returned your ballot, amazing! Thank you for making your voice heard. 🙌

If you haven't yet, it's not too late. Vote YES on all three funding measures and return your ballot to the ballot box nearest you. Just drop your ballot at your nearest official ballot box to ensure it’s counted.

🔎 Quick heads-up: recent postal service rule changes mean ballots sent by mail may not always receive a timely postmark, so drop boxes are the safest way to go.

So grab your ballot, and let’s show up for our schools!
With the state not fully funding basic education, it's our community's support that creates the excellent programs, supports, and buildings for the next generation. 💙💛🗳️

💙💚 As we get ready to cheer on our Seahawks, let's take a moment to Say Thanks to all the amazing parents, coaches, volunteers, and school staff - and community voters - who make youth sports possible! Your support gives kids opportunities that shape their health, confidence, and future.

School sports:
🏃🏽 Build Stronger bodies & healthier habits
Kids who stay active through sports build better fitness, stronger bones, and healthier long‑term habits.

⛹🏻‍♀️ Build Better focus & school performance
Sports help improve attention, memory, and overall academic success—student‑athletes often show stronger engagement in school.

😊 Support Happier, more confident kids
Physical activity reduces stress and boosts confidence, self-esteem, and emotional well‑being.

🤝 Instill Teamwork & life skills that last
Kids in sports gain communication skills, social confidence, discipline, and resilience, all tools they carry into adulthood.

🏅 Building strong, connected communities
Sports strengthen school spirit, leadership, and lifelong healthy habits.

‼️ The State does not provide *any* funding for school sports. They happen because of you - your dedication, and your support of our school funding ballot measures. Please Vote YES and drop off your ballot ASAP to continue making all the difference. !

Did you know? WA State does not fully fund public education. School districts rely on voter-approved funding to bridge between state funds and what it costs to support our students. Vote in the upcoming Bond and Leavies election! Learn more: https://www.nsd.org/our-district/overview/bond-levies

🎉 Top 10 Reasons Turning In a Ballot Is Awesome

10. You get to check a box with purpose. It’s like the world’s most meaningful to-do list item.
9. You become the main character for at least five minutes. Ballot in hand, dramatic music playing in your head… iconic.
8. Free workout! Walking to the mailbox absolutely counts as cardio.
7. It’s the adult version of turning in homework, except this time you want the gold star.
6. It’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself afterward. Ballot dropped? Great. You’ve earned that pastry/coffee/mini celebration dance.
5. It’s the only time filling in bubbles feels nostalgic instead of stressful. No Scantron machines judging you afterward.
4. You get bragging rights for the rest of the day. “Sorry, I can’t hear you over the sound of my civic engagement.”
3. It’s a chance to escape group chats like a hero. “Be right back, supporting our kids one ballot at a time.”
2. You can finally stop moving the ballot around your counter. Into the ballot box it goes! Your kitchen looks cleaner already.
1. You’re planting a seed for the next generation, because good things grow when we all tend the garden.

🗳️ Election day is just around the corner - and if you want to mail your ballot, make sure you get it in the mailbox *for pickup THIS Friday* for the new postmark rules.

💪 Vote YES, get those ballots off the kitchen counter, and let's all show up for our kids!

👏 Across Northshore, our community’s voice has shaped every step of this work.

From the 100+ task force members who studied and proposed solutions for buildings, learning, and technology…
To the community organizations partnering with our schools to educate the next generation…
To the district staff who have spent hundreds of hours hosting virtual and in person meetings to share transparent information…
To the volunteers who help spread the word about how local funding strengthens every corner of our community.

And ultimately, it’s the voters of Northshore who make it all possible. 🗳️

Together, we’ve ensured our students have access to a world class education, right here at home. Let’s continue that proud tradition. Get your ballots in and vote YES on all three funding measures. Let’s keep Northshore Strong! 💪 💙💛
