   This is an example of outstanding public testimony. Kristina’s message is clear, well organized, personal, and easy for any parent to relate to. She established common ground by supporting public schools and clearly explained the need for additional choices because every student has different needs. She respectfully put her opponents on the defensive. Everyone who needs to testify on a matter they care about should watch and learn. Thank you Kristina!

   As Kiwanis Advisor for the Oregon Connections Academy’s Key Club I have had to opportunity to get to know some of the staff and students. Our Key Club, being the first online Key Club has received wide acclaim and is now being used as a model for other online clubs. The staff is dedicated and the interaction with students is outstanding. I wish there had been educational options when I was in school.
