" Thank you so much for all your support and aloha! I am so grateful for this experience and all the wonderful people I have met. I think that no matter what happens with the appointed board, we need to keep focused on the purpose of why we are all involved. Education is not a "political" issue for the thousands of students, teachers and parents in our school system. It is a daily experience that can be rewarding and positive, or stressful and demoralizing.
I believe it is our job to give the children and youth of Hawai`i an excellent education that will allow them to be sucessful, happy and fulfilled human beings. We need to support our teachers who work so hard and give so much. By uniting together with a common vision and purpose, we can achieve a school system that is a glowing light of success and aloha. I know this is possible and I will contribute all that I can, in whatever way I am asked. Mahalo!"
