Vote for Mark Bigej for Canby School Board

As a longtime Canby resident who was raised in this community, I am invested in the future successes of our education system that has served my family well for three generations. I am a father of five children, three graduates from Canby schools and two current CHS students. My connection to our schools runs deep.

With more than a dozen years as a youth sports coach, a decade serving on my church finance council, and 20 plus years on the Oregon Association of Nurseries Board, I bring a well-rounded and experienced perspective to the board. As an employer, I know first-hand the importance of an educated workforce. Canby students must be prepared to seamlessly transition to a job, training program, classroom, or entry to our armed services. The quality of education they receive is directly connected to their future success and the success of our community and country.

I am running for the school board because, as a dad of five kids in our schools, I am committed to working hard to promote academic success, parent engagement and student well-being. Through accountability and transparency our schools can thrive. We have a responsibility to provide Canby students with a high quality education that focuses on the basics. I am committed to supporting our students and families, in partnership with our incredible staff, to create a successful learning environment for all students. As a member of your school board I will listen, address concerns and tirelessly advocate for academic success, parent engagement and student well-being.

It would be an honor to serve our community and I respectfully ask for your vote.
