Having an effective PTSA with parents committed to the school, students and staff has an invaluable impact on student learning. Projects like Math Club, fundraising, and commitment to implement ideas takes countless hours.

Lucky are we, as parents in the Bellevue School District, to have such a competent person, My-Linh Thai, with the capabilities to get things done and also step up as a candidate for the Bellevue School Board. She has been in the trenches.

My-Linh is one of the tireless parents who has devoted a multitude of hours, ideas, and solutions to facilitate a meaningful education on behalf of all students. While her experiences are global and varied, there is nothing like contributing time and energy to learn what a school needs, what works and what won’t.

My-Linh is a listener with intellect, foresight, and is an effective problem solver. She will work hard to gain more insight into school challenges. Her expertise, on issues within the schools plus understanding and exploring ideas regarding diverse student populations, will be straight forward, transparent, and thoughtful. She will have my vote in November.
