GET TO KNOW OUR SCHOOL BOARD
School Board members were asked three questions : ( 1 ) Why do you love MISD ? ( 2 ) What do you enjoy most about being involved in our school community ? ( 3 ) What do you enjoy doing in your free time ?
KEZIAH VALDES FARRAR SCHOOL BOARD PRESIDENT , PLACE 4
1 . MISD is home to me . Growing up in Mansfield and graduating from MHS give me so much pride . I love knowing that we offer so many opportunities to our students . We want them each to find their passion while they are here , and when they leave , be able to use the skills they gained to impact the world .
2 . Our community is so generous and involved . We get to see first hand , the profound impact that all of our educators , staff and volunteers make on our students each and every day . Strong schools make strong communities , and I am just thankful I get to be a part of it .
3 . I enjoy CrossFit , running and hiking . Really , just being outdoors makes me happy .

1 . What I love most about MISD is the community itself . I love our students , staff and all those who make up our district . What we have is unique in so many ways , and it really sets us apart .
2 . Any time I get to see the students perform , succeed , win , hit a goal or honestly just smile makes my heart swell with pride and love . I know I am truly blessed to be a witness to all our student outcomes .
3 . In my free time I enjoy it most spent with more kids ! :). We have a large family and nothing makes me happier than to have family time .
