On March 14th, I’m asking for your consideration and support, as you enter the polls to select members of the Shaker Regional School Board. I am completing my third year on the SRSB. We have work ahead of us as we look to the future goals of the district. Working together to strengthen our schools will be my focus if elected for another three-year term. I’m a lifelong resident of Belmont, earning my diploma in 1999. I then went on to pursue a degree in education and psychology, and have been teaching for the last twenty years. My professional experience has been invaluable in my work on the board.
My family has deep roots in the Shaker soil. My grandmother, grandfather, and father all spent years at Shaker board meetings. I thank them in part for the education that I, and now my daughters, have received in Belmont. As a community, we all want to offer our students the best education we can provide. Though I’m optimistic about what our schools and community can achieve, as a homeowner, I’m also aware of the importance of being fiscally responsible with our tax dollars. In closing, I’m hopeful you will consider me as a strong candidate for the SRSB. With two daughters in this district, I trust it with what is most precious to me, and I hope you will trust me to work on your behalf to make it a better place for your children.
