As I have been knocking on doors in our community, I have appreciated hearing Forest Hills parents' and community members' views on our schools. Getting my message out in the last two months before the Nov. 8 election will be so important. If you share my vision of excellence in education, believe that kids are best served by age-appropriate, non-divisive books and lesson plans, and believe parents should have a say in their kids' education, would you consider helping in our door to door efforts? It's easy to do and fun to meet others in the community. To learn more, please email me at [email protected] or visit my website! https://www.jackie4fhps.org/get-involved

Two weeks ago, I and other Hope College professors had the privilege of welcoming Hope College's largest freshman class ever during our convocation ceremony. Since that day, it's been a whirlwind as I've been helping students get settled into the business classes I teach at Hope College. My students know I expect a lot from them; I'm a life-long learner who brings the same focus on education excellence to Hope College that I would bring to the Forest Hills school board.

Wishing you and all Forest Hills families a fun and relaxing long weekend. Happy Labor Day!

PARENTS INSPIRED MY VISION FOR OUR SCHOOLS
Over the last few months, I've had lots of conversations with Forest Hills parents about our schools. My vision for Forest Hills Schools is an outcome of these conversations.

JACKIE'S VISION FOR FOREST HILLS SCHOOLS:
ALL KIDS have safe access to the HIGHEST QUALITY EDUCATION experience, so they can fulfill their true potential.

JACKIE'S PRIORITIES:
- Age-appropriate curriculum and materials that FOCUS ON THE FUNDAMENTALS of math, science, language and history and also build 21st century skills like collaboration, creativity and critical thinking
- EFFECTIVE, TIMELY COMMUNICATION with parents, the community, teachers & the administration
- TRANSPARENCY and access to curriculum, policies and Board decisions

A huge THANK YOU to the parents who have already shared with me your views on our schools!

And to all Forest Hills families..... As we begin a new school year, I WISH ALL LEARNERS GREAT SUCCESS in this coming year!

Why I’m Running
I believe in the POWER OF EDUCATION to change a life. I find great fulfillment, as a college professor, in helping college students find their calling. I love to see martial art students in our family business become more focused and confident.
I want to give back. Our family is so GRATEFUL for the many skilled and caring teachers, coaches and staff who helped shape our sons into the young men they are today.
I believe I can help. Our district needs people on the school board with the RIGHT SKILLS who CARE ABOUT OUR KIDS and our community. My business skills in decision making, communication and management could contribute greatly.
It would be my privilege to serve the Forest Hills community on the school board! If you like "my why", would you consider sharing this post on your channels to amplify this message? If you’d like to learn more about me, I invite you to visit my website.
