Star-Advertiser Endorses Maralyn Kurshals!

Quote from "School board needs new energy" (Star-Advertiser editorial on Oct 20, 2010):

For the Leeward Oahu seat vacated by outgoing BOE chairman Breene Harimoto, who won an uncontested City Council race, Maralyn Kurshals is our choice.

Kurshals, who works at the Leeward Oahu Family Guidance Center, has been a strong advocate of education on the Leeward Coast for years. She is a proponent of early-childhood education and reading who has helped organize free book giveaways in Waianae and won the support of community leaders such as state Rep. Maile Shimabukuro.

"I am asking each of you to please consider Maralyn for the Board of Education this election in November. Maralyn has truly dedicated herself to the education of our children on the Leeward side of Oahu for the past 10 years and to education of all children for the past 30 years, at least.

As a personal friend of hers, Ed and I have watched her in action and believe she would be the best candidate by far."

Mahalo & Aloha,

Aloha-
After much thought and guidance, I have decided to run for the Leeward Board of Education seat that has been vacated by Breene Harimoto. I decided to run because:
1) I have a wide range of experience in education- from teaching, to promoting early education initiatives and serving as chair of the Education Committee of the Wai`anae Neighborhood Board
2) My children went to Hawai`i public schools!
3) We need someone who will LISTEN and RESPOND to our concerns and needs.
and finally, I am dedicated to lifelong learning and equal access to quality educational opportunities for all.
Please support me in the November election. You can find more information on my website page (http://www.maralynkurshals.com) or feel free to contact me if you have any ideas, suggestions or concerns.

Take care,
Maralyn Kurshals
