Katherine Carswell

Former Lake Fenton School Board Member

"As a teacher, parent, and former school board member, I know how important it is to choose the best people for our community school boards, to ensure this vital role is filled with strength and compassion. The role of a school board member is to be a bridge between the community and the school district. As with any bridge, building strong foundations and spanning the entire distance is key. One way to build a strong foundation is to elect individuals with a background in education and community activism. Ky Orvis is this candidate. They spend their days educating our children and their free time building community organizations that provide safe spaces and fellowship for all of our Fenton community members. As of this year, the last of our Generation Z students are now in high school, and our middle and elementary students are filled with the children of Generation Alpha. This generation has unique needs and unique perspectives; the jobs for Generation Alpha have not even been invented yet. Our bridge between the school and community needs to reach all the way to our students. Age and experience are good, but we need our digital generations to help interpret the needs of this new Generation Alpha. Ky provides the perspective of the young millennial and understands the needs of the digital age. Ky Orvis has my full endorsement and is an excellent choice for Fenton School Board trustee."

Ashley Prew

Fenton Area Public Schools, Board Trustee*

”I have had the pleasure of getting to know Ky through their involvement in the Fenton community. Ky is a passionate leader with a vision for the future of public education. Their impressive resume includes current teaching experience and invaluable knowledge regarding the needs of students.

I am honored to provide my endorsement for Ky’s candidacy.
