Elect Deana Brower

Sat., July 30, 2011

Deana Brower will make a superb school board member for Spokane Public Schools. In addition to being a parent of school-age children, Deana has been a teacher and an active volunteer in Spokane Schools. She’s working with the YWCA to address important issues that affect children and our community.

Deana Brower brings wisdom, enthusiasm and a passion for excellence for all students to her candidacy for the board. These attributes are key elements that will continue a positive legacy of well-informed, thoughtful Spokane school board members who advocate for all students and their success.

Spokane will be well served by electing Deana Brower to the school board.
