It is my intention to continue my work on the school board and help to give your children an opportunity for an outstanding education.
I am a graduate of Centennial High School and mother to two Centennial graduates and two future graduates. I am very passionate about Centennial School District. With my years of community service and involvement that passion has grown.
Now, more than ever we need to keep the education of our children in the forefront. No matter what they decide to pursue after they leave our schools, they will all be contributing members of our society. We should provide support to our teachers and staff which allows them to provide an environment that promotes learning, growth and success. We need to encourage family involvement which is a key component in the success of our children. Every child has the ability to learn and grow given the opportunity. We need to manage our funds and maintain the high level of education.
In my years on the board we have faced cuts to staff and programs. Our district provides excellent opportunities for our children. Looking forward, we will be challenged to provide the high quality education each child deserves with fewer resources. I feel that I have the experience and would like the opportunity to continue in the decision making of this district to maintain those excellent opportunities.
