Our daughter is a Camas School District 5th grader. A couple weeks ago she was thrilled to have newly-done bangs of different colors.

Submitted by Concerned Camas Parent:On 4-26-10, the Camas School Board will vote on whether to change the kindergarten schedule from half day every day to alternate day full day (two and a half days one week, two days the next).
EVERYONE OPPOSED TO THIS CHANGE NEEDS TO LET THEIR VOICES BE HEARD BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Banners and flyers met Camas school employees on their way to work today. Seems at least some people aren't happy with the Camas School District's choice of construction contractors...so Mike Nerland gets the blame for "desecration of the American way of life". .. Sure is an interesting way to put a company out of business....blame the school superintendent ....so will the school district bow to the extortion tactics of the Council for Carpenters?

Levy ballots arrived to homes yesterday and today, as you, once again, to vote yes or no on spending your tax dollars to supplement the schools. we've been impressed with Washougals efforts to get the facts out - mailing information to voters in an effort to make an intelligent decision.Even reducing taxes - If I lived in Washougal, I'd vote yes for their levy. We can't say the same for Camas. They've chosen to send "vote Yes" promotionals and have yet to explain the details of WHY they want to... Continue reading ...
