In the Kennewick School Board race my votes will go to Kathy White and Uby Creek. White is committed to developing a professional school board that will best serve the needs of Kennewick families. Her participation in training from the Washington State School Directors Association (WSSDA) and encouragement for other board members to engage in improving their work as board members is essential for meeting the needs of all students.

By attending school board meetings the past five years, Creek has informed herself of school district business and the issues confronting our students, parents and staff. Creek has lived life in an immigrant family and has risen to success in education for herself and her children. She is an inspiration for all who aspire to a better life and is committed to working with Kennewick families to help them help their children be successful in school.

KATHY STALY, Kennewick
