Stanwood-Camano School Board: Hagglund has integrity

Published 1:30 am Saturday, November 2, 2019

My husband, Jerry Kelly, and I enthusiastically support Natalie Hagglund for school board! We taught at Stanwood High School for over 25 years, one of us for 31. We both were very active in the Stanwood-Camano Education Association, holding offices for many years in the organization. We raised our children here. We love the Stanwood/Camano area, our schools, and our community. For these reasons, and more, Natalie Hagglund is our choice.

Discussing with both candidates their qualifications for this office, either online or in person, I was impressed with Natalie’s honesty, her knowledge of curriculum, and her understanding of laws and fiscal responsibility. Natalie truly listens, very calmly, knowing words carry great power. She has a strong sense of right and wrong. She is warm, engaging, inquisitive, and smart. She is no one’s mouthpiece.

She has served for four years on our school board with integrity. She makes her own decisions, valuing the input of everyone: community members, teachers, support staff, and students. She is currently the vice-president of the school board and the only board member with children in the school district. She is a graduate of Stanwood High School, a shining example of our alumni. It is only fitting she see the work toward building her new alma mater, of which she has been a part, to fruition!

Please join us with your vote to retain Natalie Hagglund for school board.
