As a parent of three children who attend district schools, I have first-hand knowledge of curriculum and instruction as well as classroom experience at various grade levels. I have been actively involved in the schools and our community for more than 13 years. I served as Co-President of the Community Middle School PTSA and I am currently the Chair of the Friends of the West Windsor Library.[7] |
