Empowering Teachers And Students For A Brighter Future
Hello my name is Vijette Saari!
As a parent of three children attending school within the Lake Havasu Unified School District, and a parent volunteer in the classroom, I directly see the successes and challenges that families and teachers face at the elementary , middle, and high school levels.
My priorities include ensuring that LHUSD continues providing a high quality curriculum to all students, support children and families, support teachers and staff and expand preschool opportunities.
A Champion For Families, Supporting Education And Innovation.
