I want to thank our wonderful community for making my candidacy for school board a meaningful adventure. I met so many wonderful people during my visits at Farmers Market, ranging from parents concerned about their children to an employee for the California Department of Education to a literacy advocate based in Africa.
And through countless conversations and communications, I learned how much the message of the need for improved literacy practices resonates throughout our community.
I am so grateful to so many, and would especially like to offer a big shout-out to Jerry Roberts who took the time to interview each candidate "in the year of the plague" and chatted weekly with reporters to share the latest insights and updates.
