Values That Drive My Vision

Comprehensive Wellness: I value health and wellbeing. As a parent of an immunocompromised child, I have learned from engagement with groups like Ever Active Schools that a framework of wellness is essential. The PSD Wellness Page outlines the current school division framework, however I think it is important to highlight to our community what is working well and what aspects need improvement. Continuous evaluation is required to know if we are meeting our own expectations.

If wellness is a lens applied across Parkland School Division, it simplifies our priorities and adds simplicity to complex topics.

Community Engagement: I value hearing feedback from folks like you. The more engaged Trustees are with their community, the more our community can provide feedback. Issues are resolved best when they are resolved early.

Partnerships: I value collaboration. Understanding what is going on with current and potential community partners is crucial to having new and diverse experiences for students. Spruce Grove is blessed with resources and they can help deliver a better experience for all students if we stand together.

Truth and Reconciliation: I value the commitment to of our community to do our part with respect to Truth and Reconciliation and the 94 calls to action. Being Chair of the Spruce Grove Public Library has provided opportunities to understand what local resources are available to help support Indigenous relations and partnership opportunities with Parkland School Division. This process will likely take generations. We need to recognize Truth before we can Reconcile anything.
