“Be the Change you wish to see in the world” –Gandhi
An extremely sweet and thoughtful person gave me this card when I originally decided to run for school board office. I have this card where I can see it everyday and it continues to remind me why I am doing this.
So, why do I want to do this? Because the decisions of the school board directly affect the most important parts of my life, my Children!!
It is no secret I do not have a background in education or politics and I will never pretend to be either. I do however consider myself a good mother, some may even call me a “mama bear”, which is a name I wear proudly. Our current board lacks that mama bear figure, and I am not by any means saying they do not have our children’s best interest at heart but I don’t see that passion or investment that a mother would have. Our children are being directly impacted by these decisions and I’ll repeat this everyday if I have to, PARENTS DESERVE A SEAT AT THE TABLE AND A SAY IN THEIR CHILDREN’S EDUCATION.
I want to be part of the change that Evangeline Parish deserves. I want to help bring back parent involvement. It’s time we put our children first, above all else, and provide the support that our amazing teachers, support staff and administrators so desperately need in order to provide the best education possible.
