THE ISSUES THAT IMPACT OUR CHILDREN
The reason why i'm running for School Board Director is because many children with our community have no voice when it comes to their needs in school and their quality of life! I can relate to many of the children from South Bethlehem, because I lost my father when I was 8 years old due to a heart attack. I had no father figure except the programs and organizations of my community that kept me out of trouble and on the right path. As a member of the board I want to give back to my community. I want to be a voice and a role model for the children who have no guidance.
In my life after my father's passing a gentlemen by the name, Hank Welch took me under his wing and led me in the right direction. To me he was my father figure and was the pillar of my community. Even though he is no long with us anymore, his memory continues to live on with those of us who he give his time and energy too. All the mentoring and programing he did within our community was done out of the kindness of his heart and all done without accepting any payment.
That is why i'm running for School Board Director. I want to help our community and our children the same way Mr. Hank Welch helped me! As a member of the board I want to be a voice for EVERY child and EVERY school!

- Creating more after school programs and expanding the community school program
- A return to fiscal discipline
