Biographies of candidates for SAC
Susete Okada
I am a parent to a third grader and have been a SAC member for the last two years and would love the opportunity to continue to support and contribute to the success of our school council to ensure our community can be an inclusive, fun and safe environment for learning and play. The last two years have been a great learning experience for me and allow me to bring my skills of event and meeting planning in all that we do.
About me, our family loves to spend time exploring outdoors. I also love baking and contributing my time, expertise and of course, baked goods! I hope I get the opportunity to continue supporting SAC and our school community. Thanks for reading!

I have been a voting member of the School Advisory Council (SAC) for the past 8 years. As a parent of two children at Roselands, I value being part of our school community and make an effort to be involved and attend when I can. I would be proud to continue serving on SAC and contributing to our Roselands community.
