I made a mistake…here’s what I did about it!
I made a mistake in the campaign! My campaign signs were printed without the required “paid for by” disclaimer. This was an honest oversight—something that can happen in a grassroots campaign run by a small team and a first-time candidate—and I take full responsibility for it. I have ordered stickers to add to all signs […]
Donor Information
I am all about transparency! Over 90% of my donations thus far are considered “small contribution” so they are lumped together and you can’t see who donated on the PDC website. But I think you deserve to know who is donating to my campaign. As of today, over 80% of my donors have some affiliation […]
Leadership quality #4 – Experience
Experience Experience is important in a leader because it provides the foundation for sound decision-making, credibility, and effective guidance. It can add depth and wisdom to a leader which leads to results. Every board member brings their unique experiences to the table and through a variety of people this can build diverse and extraordinary educational opportunities. I […]
Leadership quality #3 Integrity
Integrity Effective leaders need to have integrity.

When those in charge display integrity it builds trust with stakeholders and it is with this trust that bonds and levies can be […]
I’ve got spirit, yes I do! I’ve got spirit, how ’bout you!?
As a para I LOVED participating in spirit days. I even ran them at Sunrise for several years. To be totally honest, the western one is actually from a book fair theme (I made the saloon doors myself) and 2 others are from children’s birthday parties I was invited to. If there is a theme, […]
Sunrise carnival
This was a week ago. I worked a game for a bit, listened to Steel Drum Band, talked to parents/families, and saw lots of familiar faces!
Sunrise grad walk
I went the the Sunrise grad walk today which was fun! I’ve come back for it the last few years and will probably be going through 2032. I know and love those kids! I recognized most of them and can still name several of them. 🙂
Leadership quality #2 – Empathy
Empathy is an essential leadership trait because it allows leaders to truly understand, connect with, and support the people they serve. When students and staff feel heard, supported and valued, they’re more likely to work hard and strive for the best. With mental health challenges on the rise, showing empathy—especially toward students—is critical for building […]
Leadership quality #1 – Passion
Over the coming weeks I’m going to be posting some leadership qualities I believe are important. Here’s my first one. Passion Passion is an important part of leadership because it can be contagious, energizing those around you. You can tell when someone generally cares about their work, and it can inspire those around them. Passion […]
