“My name is Pa Ann, I had lived and raised 3 amazing boys in Maple Grove for over 10 years, going to Osseo area schools. They all had a successful and fun time in the school district.
I work with the amazing City of Brooklyn Park and her residents.
I have known Sarah for several years as a wonderful person who greatly represents her family and the rest of the community. For several years, our sons play in the same basketball organization as very good friends.
I have no doubt that Sarah will be a great addition to the Osseo School District school board, bringing with her a unique perspective, and ability to effectively engage and collaborate with all and sundry for the best interest of all our students.
Please consider Sarah as your choice for school board member.”
For our students,
