Why are you running? I am running for the Wolf Branch School Board because I would like to give back to the school, which had the most profound impact on me as a student and community member. I am a 1996 graduate of Wolf Branch School, and I believe that the teachers at Wolf Branch are some of the best I have ever encountered. While attending Wolf Branch as a student, I learned valuable life lessons, found lifelong friendships and discovered a sense of community in the Wolf Branch District that has extended into my adult life. Now with three young children of my own in attendance in Wolf Branch, I would be honored to give back to the school that gave me so much.
What is the top issue in your race, and how would you address it? As a board member and parent of children in the Wolf Branch District, my top priority would be to ensure the continued success and safety of the students within the district and to support the wonderful faculty and staff.
Why should people vote for you? People should vote to elect me as a Wolf Branch School Board member because not only am I a Wolf Branch alumnus with three young children in the district, but I have absolutely no hidden agenda. My only intention as a school board member would be to support the staff and faculty, encourage continued academic success for the students and to build an even stronger community among my fellow Wolverines.
