Um… It was only in second grade when I started as a board member, and seeing the difference in height. 00:10:21.000 --> 00:10:28.000 difference in my hair color. Um, but looking at the difference in the district and the things that we have accomplished. 00:10:28.000 --> 00:10:32.000 And the perspective I have as a parent. Um, as well as a school director. 00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:38.000 I'm really excited about the things that. We still have yet to do in the next 4 years. 00:10:38.000 --> 00:10:44.000 Um, but I also couldn't be prouder of. the 8 people that make up the rest of this board. 00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:50.000 Um, the commitment to education and students and taxpayers and. 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:55.000 all community members, and. the time and effort that everyone puts in. 00:10:55.000 --> 00:11:03.000 Um, I've heard from other school boards. Other members of other school boards recently asking for. 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:07.000 Um… input or guidance as to how we run our meetings. 00:11:07.000 --> 00:11:13.000 how we work cohesively and collaborate. Um, how we are able to maintain. 00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:19.000 such a balance and relationship with the administration, while also acting as the independent. 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:25.000 body that we are, um, and it makes me really proud that we stand out, because Derry Township stands out. 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:27.000 Amongst all the other school districts in the area. 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:34.000 Um, and I like to believe that it starts at the top, and the example that's set by our school board of directors. 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:40.000 Um, for the community, for the students, for the staff.
