Why am I running for School Board?
I’m a teacher. I taught 10 years of elementary school and special education and for the last 7 years I’ve taught preschool. I want the voice of the teachers represented on the school board. I know what the hours and pressures are like. We have some amazing teachers who spend their own money supporting our students. I want their point of view represented on the school board.
Fairfax schools has amazing students. We’ve graduated students who have become actors, musicians, athletes, politicians, and authors. Imagine the possibilities sitting in our classrooms right now. One of our students may research a cure for cancer, write the next great novel, or walk on Mars. The potential of our students is limitless.
Throughout my first term, I had the opportunity to explore our wonderful schools, meet our administrators, teachers and support staff and recognize the many achievements of our outstanding students. I heard from parents and members of the community about the needs of the district. It has been over 20 years since our schools have had renovations. I have worked to make these renovations become a reality to bring our facilities to the standards of the 21st century.
I look forward to continuing this important work!
I hope you will support me!
