Snohomish school board: Adams knows kids’ needs

Published 1:30 am Tuesday, October 24, 2023

Some weeks ago I had an opportunity to speak with Sarah Adams about her experiences on the Snohomish School Board, having been appointed to her current position to fill a vacancy and now running to be elected to that position. Having raised five children who attended public school in Snohomish, I have had significant opportunity to appreciate the value of student well-being as a critical part of successful teaching and learning. I was pleased to learn that Adams strongly shares my values in this regard.

Now, perhaps more than ever before, our public schools need leadership that is up to the challenge of educating our children in these difficult times for emotional health. That is why I will vote for Sarah Adams for Position 4 Snohomish School Board. Our schools need experienced professionals urgently motivated to ensure our schools are resourced and focused on the well-being of our Snohomish School District students and staff. Strong emotionally stability is a necessary foundation for successful learning and growing throughout our lives and it must start in school.
