Tanya Suarez for Clifton Board of Education: Let Teachers Teach

08/11/2023

I want to share my sincere appreciation to every single person who supported me throughout the campaign season, from signing my petition in July through the dark hours of yesterday evening. 💙

Of course, a huge thank you to every single person who voted for me! 🙏🏼

But I know support goes so much further than votes.
💙 I acknowledge that the support I received came through positive thoughts for those who don’t live in Clifton or for those who couldn’t vote. 💙Support came my way through speaking my name in kindness and good intentions.
💙 Support looked like sending me private messages to cheer me on.
💙I appreciate everyone who shared my campaign page and posts.
💙Thank you to everyone who agreed to have a sign on their lawn.🙏🏼
And my tiny but mighty team (Amalia Ocasio-Vega, Mei Ling, Diana Peña, Sabrina Cruz, Megan Lake Beltran, Laura Ragusa and her adorable Nate, my MAMACITA Esther Suarez, my little Aris and others who are not on Facebook) who showed up for me at the polls yesterday: my heart is still smiling. ☺️❤️☺️❤️☺️

🙏🏼To the elected officials who took a chance on me because they saw my authentic passion for education (Lauren Murphy, Ray Grabowski, Judy Bassford, Anthony Santiago), THANK YOU! 🙏🏼 I would be remiss if I did not consider your influence in getting me a seat at the table.

💙Same goes for strong community leaders like and others who were instrumental in helping me get started and introducing me to some incredible people. 🙏🏼

I could go on and on about the gratitude I feel! ☺️

Thank you CLIFTON! 🙏🏼
Please know I take this win with honor and will always do my personal best in serving our children, students, families and teachers.

To Joseph Siano and Joe Canova, congratulations to you both as well!
I fully trust that we will do great work together. I look forward to what is ahead of us come January!

As a small token of gratitude, I am sharing a watercolor painting of my own —a bouquet of flowers I get to share with the community.

Good morning everyone!! 🤩

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!! 📢📢

Tomorrow is the big day… ELECTION DAY!! 🥳

If you live near, or don’t mind driving to Clifton, I’m asking for your support. I’m in need of volunteers to hand out flyers by the polling stations tomorrow. 🗳️

You do not need to live in Clifton! But if you believe that I’ll be an asset to Clifton’s education board, then this is a way that can show your support.

If you’ve ever said “I wish I could vote for her” but can’t because you’re out of town or not registered, this is a perfect way to support and “vote” for me. 😁

Any time of day will be helpful! 🙏🏼 Please PM me so we can schedule a time and place.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 🙏🏼
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated! 🙌🏼

You’re not an educator Mr. Byrne. Sit down. If you really want to protect children, then schools need to be physically AND emotionally safe spaces.

I’m sharing this video (5 minutes) so you can hear about my underlying reason for being passionate about public education. 📚

If watching the video is unavailable to you for any reason, here is a summary of what I share:

⭐️Working with young children brings me tremendous joy.
⭐️Kindergarten is my favorite age! Congrats to all the parents and guardians who have little ones entering Kindergarten
⭐️When any child is in my care, I treat them as if they were my own
⭐️I’m amazed by children’s innate ways of curiosity and believe they are all natural born scientists
⭐️I deeply appreciate seeing the intrinsic skills and talents of all students thrive and flourish
⭐️I firmly believe that all students of all ages and abilities need to be respected and valued
⭐️Know that with every decision I will potentially contribute to as a BOE commissioner, the care and well being of all students will be at the heart of each decision

Thank you so much for your time in either watching the video or reading this post! 🙏🏼
