Learn How to Walk for Measure T!
Measure T, a $130 parcel tax measure, on the May 6 special election mailed ballot would enhance locally controlled funding to continue to attract and retain great teachers, keep class sizes manageable and provide a wide range of challenging and enriching course offerings for students. Measure T seeks to provide $4.5 million annually, will expire in 8 years, and has an optional exemption for seniors aged 65 and over.
Every vote counts in a special election, and we need your help reaching local voters. We’re in our first big canvassing push to identify supportive voters before ballots are mailed on Monday, Apr 7 and we’re door-knocking in our district to let voters know about this election. Walking is one of the most effective ways to reach voters!

Nourishing Our Students for Great Health and Academic Success
Give your kids the breakfast of champions! Oatmeal + berries, avocado toast, a green protein smoothie and other healthy choices will set them up for success. Key strategies include getting their input, keeping choices available, and helping them stay organized so they have enough time for breakfast (or remember to take it with them on the way out!).
Last week I shared this Irish white bean and cabbage Soup for St. Patrick’s Day. This week I want to add another “green”--- this split pea soup. It’s easy to make, nutritious and cheap. It’s vegan but you might not miss the meat (did you know that smoked paprika is an excellent substitute for ham?). In regards to global health, consider that the food choices we make have a big impact. Plant-based sources of protein use a fraction of the greenhouse gas emissions that animal agriculture does. Consider increasing your family’s intake of beans and legumes!
Please reach out to me for any support your students or family might need.
