Stephanie Galvez said she has deep roots in Los Alamos; she has lived here for the past 45 years.
“My father, Paul Martinez, dedicated his career to creating safe spaces for children through the youth activity centers,” she said. “He taught me children are the heartbeat of our community. They deserved to be seen, supported and given the tools to succeed. I believe in strong schools, one where every child succeeds academically. That means ensuring our students are strong readers, confident in math and science and able to think critically and solve problems because these are the skills that create opportunities whether that is college, careers or trades.”
She added she believes teachers and staff deserve to be heard and supported and parents to be treated as partners.
“I believe in a strong future; one where every child thrives,” Stephanie Galvez said.
