Advocacy at GES
We are here for you!!
|
My name is Jess Adams and I am happy to "Plug into GES Advocacy"! I will spend the upcoming months studying state and local issues, and the issues that will support all children in our school. Educated in the field of psychology, I hold a B. A. in Psychology from Guilford College. I will utilize my education to the benefit of parents and students. I will bring my sharp analytical, orchestration abilities, and awareness of current issues to insure desired outcomes. I look forward to executing my duties effectively and efficiently.
My two daughters (J�da, 1st grade, and D�ja, 9th grade) have both had great experiences here at Guilford Elementary. I want your children to have amazing experiences as well. I would like to know about any issues or concerns you may have that are specific to our school. An advocacy drop box is available in our school lobby, or you may mail me at jessadams4gesadvocacy@gmail.com. I hope your year has been a good one, and I look forward to hearing from you! -Jess Adams
