To the editor:

We have known Lynn Smith and her wonderful family since we first moved to Bainbridge Island in 1999, and are thrilled that she is running for the Bainbridge Island School Board.

Lynn has been heavily involved with the district since her kids first entered school. Her experience as PTOCC President and PTO President at Odyssey Multiage Program has enabled her to develop good working relationships with district staff, teachers, principals and parents. Because of this experience, she has an incredible breadth and depth of knowledge about substantive school district matters.

Lynn is a positive and constructive problem solver who cares deeply about the island’s children and the district in general. Bainbridge Island is lucky to have someone like Lynn Smith running for the Bainbridge Island School Board.

Lynn’s favorite quote sums up how she would approach her school district position: “The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it’s to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they’re valued.” – Sir Ken Robinson

Please vote for Lynn Smith on Nov. 3!
