Olivia Avila (parent of a 6th and 8th grader) As a parent of a 6th grader and an 8th grader, I am definitely equipped to provide insight from the parental role in the Benton Family and will advocate and bridge communication on behalf of the parents of our students. I believe in a full circle relationship between Family (home), Community and School and will incorporate that in problem solving or in situations wherein feedback is needed to be sure decisions are being made to consider all and to promote growth.
