Statement: I fully support the district’s Whole Child Initiative which upholds the idea that every student should feel encouraged and valued in the classroom and in all places that reach beyond. This philosophy and practice is critical because students are most successful when they are engaged in inspired learning while also having their basic needs met. Another essential element of this plan is for our graduates to be equipped for the rigors of college, trade school, military service or any career in order to accomplish their life goals and be fulfilled as individuals.

The unique challenges that Covid presented revealed areas where we can better serve our students. An increased focus on communication and social emotional well being is needed. That process begins with listening. I will be a director that responds in thoughtful and proactive ways to meet the needs of not only our students but staff and community as well. Everyone’s voice should be heard if we are to effectively care for the whole child.

I’m enthusiastic to serve our district in a greater capacity and confident that my board experience and community involvement have prepared me with the leadership and collaboration skills necessary to serve our district well.
