2014 Election Archive

Hello! My name is Clara Steele and I am the proud mother of 2 daughters; Tessa 19 and Mandy 15 (both part of the Sudbury Catholic District School Board). My husband Rod and I own a mining consulting company …in the Sudbury area. I am hoping to become your next trustee as I am completely dedicated to Catholic Education in Sudbury and want to ensure that all tax dollars go directly toward student success for all children in our school system. It is time for budget accountability. It is time to improve the morale and get the focus back in the classrooms - which means no more wasted dollars. I truly believe that every child deserves the best education possible, and I want to ensure this happens. Just some of my educational experience is outlined on the back of this paper. I hope I can count on your support on October 27th. I will not let you down! -14 years - Catholic School Council Chair at St. Charles Elementary and Marymount Academy. -8 years – Regional Parent Involvement Committee Chair -6 years – 30 hours/week volunteer at St. Charles Elementary School -Multi grade classroom -Reading Program for struggling teens -Breakfast and Lunch programs -1 year – Regional Director of the Ontario Association of Parents for Catholic Education -Network Member – People for Education -PIC – Parent Involvement Symposium 2 years -OAPCE (Ontario Association of Parents for Catholic Education) Symposium 4 years.
