I am so
humbled and honored to have been re-elected to my second term as
a "trustee" for the Oroville Union High School District.
So who am I?
A very proud mom to Jake and Richard, Zack, Lori, Crystal,
a wonderful gift from above, that is charting out his future
after graduating with the class of 2005 from Las Plumas High
School. An active member of Oroville Sunrise Rotary, a very
focused group of individuals that share a common principle,
"service above self". We share a common objective, invest in our
future, our youth.
"A trustee!"
You, are my neighbor, my family, my customer, my brothers and
sisters, my fellow citizens in this beautiful "city of gold" and
it's surrounding area, and you have placed your trust in me, to
make decisions that will be in our children's (each and every
one) best interest. "If I could light a fire in just one
child's heart to choose a productive and positive path, this
would be the victory". The goal - to foster "life long
learners, good decision makers, productive members of the
community & society" in order that they may be be better
prepared for the challenges ahead. Encourage our educators,
administrators, other school staff, and yes, the board of
trustees to take the time to encourage and acknowledge a
student's effort, applaud the little successes as they may be
huge achievements in their eyes, applaud their mistakes as they
make us all grow stronger if we make them a learning
opportunity; take time to stop and shop, have lunch with, walk
in the park, ride a skate board with, dissect a frog (eeek!),
dance with, touch the life of a young person. These are but a
few of my personal thoughts and goals.
