SPOTLIGHT ON: Christina Bleckinger

I would like to run for the board to be a voice for students, teachers, and parents in the Williamsville community. I will utilize my skills in analytic-based thinking and problem solving to assist with helping to influence the fiscal health of the district. In addition, a focus on excellence in education, along with student and teacher health and wellness, supporting a whole-child approach. This will give our students the foundation they need to become well-rounded healthy individuals, equipped with a solid education and important life skills to help them reach their full potential. I believe in quality public education, and I am excited to contribute and help to improve our Williamsville schools!
