<h2>My Story</h2>
|
||
<div class="content-grid">
|
||
<div>
|
||
<p>I am a proud Edmontonian, born and raised. As a child my family moved frequently. These fresh starts at new schools often felt a bit scary, but no matter where I landed, I was welcomed and supported by caring and dedicated teachers and support staff. The care and concern of my teachers and the love and support of my family helped me to build resilience, gain confidence and push through challenges. <strong>This is what I wish for all children.</strong></p>
|
||
|
||
<p>My husband and I have lived in Ward B for twenty-eight years. It is here that we raised and educated our children. In fact, they attended a junior high school where I was also a student. We are now blessed with grandchildren. The time we have with them is precious; we often get the giggles just watching them play. They are a joy, and we are grateful.</p>

<p>I love public education. From grade one to graduation, I was mentored by strong dedicated teachers. Teachers who supported me academically, musically, and athletically. These three components helped me move through university days and remain important in my life. In grade nine I decided to be a teacher. I revered my teachers and wanted to be like them. My dream became a reality.</p>
