Q&A
One of the community’s KSD Facebook groups put together a list of 12 questions which were sent to all the candidates. 2 of us responded to the deadline. The other can still respond and be added though. Here’s a link to the questions and answers from those of us that provided them. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1asVZ30Mh1HWCUoeJPHFlbwPuu7hn3-Uc?usp=drive_link Ballots are […]
Kent Cornucopia Days
Today I was in the parade for Kent Cornucopia Days! This campaign has brought me so many interesting challenges (the good kind) and new opportunities. I never thought I’d be in a parade and I did that today. It was really hot today so I’m very grateful I had a car to ride in instead […]
Leadership quality #5 Communication
Communication Good communication is at the heart of strong leadership. It’s how trust is built, how expectations are made clear, and how people stay connected and working toward a shared goal. A good leader doesn’t just talk—they listen, too. Being open to feedback and concerns helps create a respectful, inclusive environment where people feel heard. […]
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. In a school district, staff, students, families, and the community need to trust that those in charge are making the best decisions for the district. 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!
