I am writing to endorse Briana Spencer for the Pendleton School Board.
Briana is an enrolled member of the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR). I have known Briana for several years. She has served on the Nixyaawii School Board and has volunteered to help the school in many different ways. She is smart, energetic, and always looks at situations in a positive light.
If elected, she will fight for racial equality and equitable education for all children. Briana is not running for her own children, she is running for all the children in the Pendleton School District.

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.
