I moved to West Michigan in 2015 with my husband after our first child was born. West Michigan was new to us, but we heard about this amazing school district and fell in love with the area. Seven years later, we are confident that we made the right choice to move to the Forest Hills Public School district. The district's guiding principles will build a strong foundation for our two children, as it already has for so many. I feel fortunate to volunteer as Treasurer on the Thornapple Elementary PTO, because I've been able to witness the behind-the-scenes activity of this incredible community of teachers, staff and parents.
I am running for one of the six-year term positions on the FHPS Board because I am a voice for thoughtful and reasonable decision-making. I want our kids to have a well-rounded education, achieve their individual potential, learn to interact with this diverse world, and have a positive school experience in a safe environment. Forest Hills is a strong community, and I will collaborate with the other board members and superintendent to ensure its continued success.
