Would you appreciate being able to walk up to your School Board Zone representitive and be heard or have your question answered? I would like to be that School Board Member.

Hello, my name is Jennifer DeSantis-Wilson. I have been a Silverton resident for over 30 years. During that time I attended several schools in our district. As the mother of three school age children, I have spent many volunteer hours assisting with classroom activities. As a regular volunteer I am priveliged to be part of the interaction between parents, staff, administrators and students.

I have a heart for children and families and my youthful enthusiasm will be an asset to our community. The driving force that motivates me is my great desire to continually promote excellence in the Silver Falls School District.

I am aware of the critical issues facing our district. I am commited to listen to your needs, concerns, ideas and questions.

I believe a School Board Member must be diplomatic, professional and approachable. In all facets of life honesty and hard work have been my guiding principles. These qualities will be of great benefit in collaborating with School Board Members and the community at large. My current involvement in our School District, youth mentoring experience and business background have prepared me to participate in the “nuts and bolts” aspect of School Board Membership (Decision making and implementation of policies)

I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve the people of Silver Falls School District.

Thank you for your vote!

Jennifer DeSantis-Wilson
