Braham celebrates School Board Recognition Week

Allison Londgren - Clerk

Years on the school board, including 2021: Eight.

It’s important for me to serve because: I can give back to our community by working with each board member and school administration to set the goals of the district and work toward reaching those goals.

I’m proud of our district because: The district worked diligently to ensure all children’s educational needs were being met during the COVID pandemic. Every individual in the school made sacrifices and changes during the ever-changing school year which has allowed elementary children to remain in person. We look forward to bringing all children back.

One word for 2021: Promise.

Darrin Davis - Treasurer

Years on the school board, including 2021: Four.

It’s important for me to serve because: I went to Braham and have two kids currently going to Braham. I have a vested interest in helping out any way I can as I’ve always felt Braham was a great place to grow up and a great school to attend and I want my kids to have the same experience.

I’m proud of our district because: We’ve overcome a lot the last three years. We have a great staff of teachers and great leadership at the administrative level. They’ve been asked to do a lot with very little over the past years. We have a tremendous amount of opportunities to offer our kids and we can do that in a small district. This isn’t common and should not be taken for granted.
