Jenni Welsch for School Board

07/28/2024

Paperwork is complete and my name is officially OFF the ballot for November. Thank you for all the love and support both during the campaign and as I switch to a full-time classroom position at HMS.

We've still got plenty of great candidates in the Board of Ed race, including Tamisha Rose-Osgood for Hastings Board of Education, who I hope you all will vote for this fall!

Big News and Bittersweet News!

The Big: an opportunity presented itself at the end of May and I interviewed for and accepted a full-time English teaching position at HMS! Starting this fall, I’ll be with 7th graders and am so excited to get back to the secondary classroom after 15 years of SAHM + adjuncting life.

The Bittersweet: because I am now employed by the HPS District, I can no longer run for school board. I am so grateful for everyone who contributed funds for supplies and signs (those are going into storage for someday) and who offered support and kind words about my campaign. I appreciate your belief in me; please know that I’ll still be doing my best every day to serve our school system, just from the classroom instead!

I will be completing paperwork later this month to remove my name from the ballot this fall. After that, this page will be removed as well.

Happy Last Day, HPS Students!
🧡🐅🖤
The campaign page may be a bit quiet the next couple months as I'm off doing all things Summer with my family, but we're still out there, spreading the word about my run for HPS Board of Ed.
🏊‍♀️⚾️📚🎼☀️
Signs will be delivered late summer; until then, I wish you all a fun and relaxing break!

HPS Board of Ed may not be on tomorrow’s ballot (see you in Nov.!), but so many important local and state races are and candidates need your support. Please make time on Tuesday to VOTE!
Or, if you are like me and requested an early ballot, fill it out and return it to the drop box at the courthouse today. I voted this weekend and it always feels good to know that I have done my part and exercised this right!

T-shirts are here! I will be in contact about getting them to folks soon. My 10-yr-old told me I had to be bold and go full orange for the order. I took his advice but I also got myself a heathered orange, too, because why not?! I think both turned out great.

A friend told me recently that she loves how I always wear my thoughts on my shirts and I had to laugh because I really do that a lot. But here’s the thing - I would wear this shirt (and all of my other education-themed shirts) even if I wasn’t running for School Board because I believe in the power of public education. That’s my why for tossing my hat in this race - to continue to be a champion for our public schools!

As I celebrate another trip around the sun, one of the opportunities I am most excited about for The Year of 42 is serving the community of Hastings as a Board of Ed member. I have long cared for bettering the experiences of students, teachers, and parents, and it is my great pleasure to continue that work by being both a voice and a listening ear for our Hastings Tigers family.
