Community involvement is a way to give back to the places we call home. Raising five children here in Coquitlam, Jennifer interacts with the school system on a daily basis and knows how valuable each resource is to our students and their families.
JENNIFER'S GOALS
COMMITTED TO EDUCATION IN COQUITLAM
As a 2018 recipient of the Sovereign's Medal for Volunteers, Jennifer was recognized for her commitment to many school district, community, and provincial initiatives, including:
JENNIFER'S GOALS
- EARLY ACCESS TO ASSESSMENT AND SUPPORT
Volunteering in classrooms, I've seen that the research is right - early intervention is the best, most cost-effective solution to learning difficulties. - CREATING SPACE IN SCHOOLS FOR DAYCARE
Families are challenged to find a safe, quality daycare space for their children. Renting available district space to daycares brings in money for the district, and families get improved access. Co-operating with the province and municipality can maximize this opportunity.
