I'm a San Carlos mom of two. My family has been part of the district since 2019, and in that time I've been in our schools about as many ways as a person can be. Classrooms and the library. The PTA and the School Site Council. A stretch working as a lunch lady.
At Heather I started our first Lunar New Year celebration and our multicultural night. Nobody handed me a budget for either one, so I raised the money, bought the materials, and carried them to every classroom myself.
There are a couple of certificates on a shelf somewhere from all that. What I kept is the people.

Knock some doors, drop off signs, or just tell people there's a school board race. Most voters here don't have a kid in school and never hear about it.

Put your name on the list. In a race this small, a neighbor's name carries more than anything we could print.

Signs, flyers, postage. That's most of the budget. Whatever you give, we'll tell you what it bought.

Ask for one and we'll drop it off. In a race this quiet, a sign on a lawn is how a lot of people find out there's an election at all.

I have spent seven years in these schools, on site councils, as the lunch lady, at back-to-school nights and as a substitute teacher. None of that costs anything but this campaign does and every dollar helps us reach another family.
Contributions are not tax-deductible.
