Please accept this letter of recommendation for Briana Spencer, who is running for Position 7 on the Pendleton School Board. We first met 14 years ago, when I was teaching math and environmental studies for Nixyaawii Community School.
As with a number of Nixyaawii students, we have kept in contact over the years. Briana has faced, addressed, organized in support of diversity and traditional values, and in the course of time, has overcome many challenges. Having the opportunity to see her come into maturity and leadership has been the kind of positive experience that causes educators to especially value friendship with those first met in the classroom.
