I am overwhelmed with gratitude and humility as I write this message to each and every one of you. Your unwavering support, dedication and hard work have once again propelled me to serve as a member of the Jefferson County Board of Education. I am deeply honored and privileged to have earned your trust and confidence for another term.

The journey to re-election was challenging, but your steadfast belief in our shared vision for the future of education in our community never wavered. Your tireless effort, whether it was writing or sharing social media posts, organizing events, displaying yard signs and car magnets, sign waving, telling others or simply voting, played a pivotal role in our success. Together, we have shown that when a community comes together with a common purpose, anything is possible.

As we embark on this new term, I am committed to continuing the important work we have started together. Our children deserve the very best education possible, one that prepares them not only for academic success but also for the challenges and opportunities of the future. With your continued support and collaboration, I am confident that we can make a meaningful and lasting impact on the lives of the students and families in Jefferson County.

Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your belief in me and for the countless hours you have dedicated to our cause. I am deeply grateful for your support and look forward to serving our community with integrity, passion and dedication in the years to come.

Donna Joy, of Shepherdstown
