Testimonials

All three of our children attended Orchard Avenue Elementary during Mrs. Woods’s tenure as principal, and we saw firsthand the incredible impact of her leadership. She created a warm, nurturing environment where students felt safe, supported, and inspired to learn. At the same time, she held high expectations—not just for students, but for teachers and families as well. That balance of compassion and accountability is rare, and it’s exactly what our district needs.

My name is Sally Schaefer, retired CEO from Hilltop. It has been my pleasure to work beside Vicki Woods professionally as we sought to find success for our local challenging children. She was also instrumental in helping me navigate the special education system for my challenging child. She is my choice for school board!!

I worked for Vicki for multiple years as a teacher when she was my principal. I found Vicki to be an incredible leader. Vicki led us with grace and professionalism. She trusted us as professionals. We were all part of a team and under Vicki’s leadership the team grew immensely. Vicki was always thoughtful and measured in how she treated all the shareholders of our school including children, staff, and parents. Vicki will make an excellent addition to the Board of Education. Her thoughtful presence and leadership will strengthen the Board of Education and bridge the divide between the board, schools, district administration, and MVEA. I wholeheartedly support Vicki’s campaign.
