As Parents we spend our lives raising our children and praying that our tax dollars, supporting our children's education, provide them with a" hand up and not simply a handout". For the majority of our children their education is the cornerstone for realizing their future and the lives of their own families. We owe it to each of them, to ensure that the monies we spend in pursuit of their education support excellence. Comparing ourselves to other less fortunate communities is not a goal. We have a good young educational foundation that can become great and with your help and vote I will work to realize the dreams' you have for your children and family.
