Nikki Allen: Wheaton School Board Election Questionnaire

I want to win this school board position because I care deeply about the future of our school and the families in our community. As a parent and a proud alumni of this district, I understand the importance of having a strong school with solid leadership. Our teachers deserve support, our students deserve every opportunity to succeed, and our parents deserve to have their voices heard.

Elizabeth Goetz: Wheaton School Board Election Questionnaire

I want to win this position because the Wheaton community and school are important to me. I am a Wheaton Alumni, as are my parents and grandparents. I feel as though I received a good education that prepared me for the next steps in my life and professional career. I want to ensure the same is the case for my kids and generations to follow. I have two children in school district currently in 4th and 1st grade as well as a 3-year-old, so I am committed to the future of our school and community.
