Letter to the Editor: Jill Brady is the perfect person to serve as our next School Board member

To the Editor,

I am forever grateful to be a product of our Shoreline schools. While growing up, my mother taught at three elementary schools and my father was a teacher, coach, Vice-Principal and Athletic Director for the Shoreline School District. I followed their footsteps and feel honored to be a teacher in our district. My husband and I moved to Shoreline specifically for the schools, and we currently have three children, one each at Syre, Einstein and Shorewood. These schools are incredible with amazing teachers and administrators. It is of paramount importance to continue this rich tradition by creating a positive environment for every student and teacher. I believe great teachers and schools can change the world. To carry this tradition, our community needs effective leaders, and JILL BRADY is the perfect person to serve as our next School Board member!

I met Jill when our children were at Shorenorth co-op 16 years ago and she served on the Board supporting our youngest students. I liked her immediately. She was passionate about public education, as well as insightful, thoughtful, empathetic and energetic. I supported her over the years as she sat on multiple school district committees, worked tirelessly in PTA, served 6 years as Trustee/Co-President of the Shoreline Public Schools Foundation, and coordinated crucial bond/levy campaigns. Jill knows our schools, listens, and both understands the issues and works to find solutions. She is simply the best fit for our School Board.

I care about our city and its education system. I care about the future of our precious students and Shoreline families. I care about the support of our incredible teachers and administrators. Every aspect of our community will be affected by this election.  This is why I am voting for Jill. Join me and support Jill Brady for Shoreline School Board!
