I am writing this letter in strong support of Kim Laird’s candidacy for the Panther Valley School Board. I have had the pleasure of knowing Kim throughout her entire journey at Panther Valley — first as a student, then as a parent, and now as a colleague through the 8 ACE program.

Kim consistently goes above and beyond in everything she does. This drive stems not only from her personality but also from her deep commitment to ensuring that all of “her kids” receive the very best.

A clear example of this dedication was when she spent countless hours of her own time organizing Black, Gold, and White Day for the entire Junior/Senior High School following the reorganization of the middle school into the intermediate school.

This level of commitment and tenacity is exactly what Kim will bring to the Panther Valley School Board. II have every confidence that she will advocate passionately and tirelessly for the best interests of our students.
