As a resident and parent in the Renton School District, please join me in electing Pam Teal for the Renton school board. Pam has lived in the Renton School District since 1985 and has two sons who have attended Renton schools for their entire public education. Pam was appointed to a vacancy on the Renton school board on Feb. 3. She is now running for election for a full four-year term.

Pam has volunteered for more than 13 years in numerous PTA leadership roles including Renton PTSA Council president and Legislative Representative (serving 19 Renton PTA units), bond and levy committees including the Simple Majority Campaign and boundary review committees. Pam currently chairs the Renton Chamber of Commerce’s Education Committee, is a mentor for Communities in Schools, is a member of the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce and is on the Renton Community Foundation Board of Directors.

I have personally worked with Pam on several PTA committees as well as the Simple Majority Campaign. I’m impressed with her dedication and commitment to a better education for all students.

Every child deserves a quality education to ensure a successful future. Pam has the dedication and knowledge to make that happen.

Please vote for PAM TEAL for Renton School Board, Position 5, on Nov. 3.
