Ryan McKee
Ryan McKee, a Junior at Pinedale High School, volunteered to help with the elections Tuesday for community service. Ryan helped check in voters at the Pinedale school complex to vote on the Rural Health Care mill levy question. Asked what he thought about the voting process, Ryan responded, "It's cool to see government work at a local level." Several Pinedale National Honor Society students also volunteered to help with the elections for community service.
