I have spent the last 10 years supporting our children in our schools in our Issaquah community. During that time, I have had the honor of working with Alison Meryweather, who is running for the open seat on the Issaquah School Board.

Alison is one of those individuals who I think has served on every possible educational committee or organization in the Issaquah School District. She has done this because she has a passion for children and their education.

When you think of Alison, you think of someone who loves to support our children and our schools, and when she gives her time and energy, she does it with joy.

The school board has narrowed the choice to two candidates. When you compare the two candidates, Alison by far has the more experience in the education world.

She has been involved in the PTA of the schools her children have and do attend, and also has been very involved at the PTA council level. She has worked tirelessly on the Volunteer for Issaquah Schools, which supports the passage of our school levies and bonds and is instrumental in the fundraising for the Issaquah Schools Foundation. Not only has she volunteered her time in our community, but has spent a great deal of time in Olympia encouraging our legislators to support education.

When you think of Alison Meryweather, you think of education. Please encourage our school board members to have Alison Meryweather be the next Issaquah School District board member.
